Inky Things & lesson learned- 9/7/23

abstract portrait in ink on bristol paper  by Sheeba Maya

I knew i shouldnt’ve done it...

Ok so I was tired and it’s never good for me to create when my eyes are shot from squinting at screens all day and I’ve been working for hours and hours already. But what can I say…my body be tired but my mind constantly races. When I get the urge to create i sometimes fight the sleepies because art is fun and resting is boring.

But then i fuck up a lot cuz i cant see straight and I cant even fairly judge if what im working on is pure genius or hot garbage.

Like i really loved that fluid sidways drip. I wanted to do something abstract with something figuative but wobbly and loose like water. I was thinking

Man this is great!

Or does that look like a unibrow?

Do i look like a pirate?

Is the portrait too tight?

Should i try some abrtact writing in a few spaces?

Ink on Bristol

Then a few spaces turned into all over and i hated it, had a lil cry, and took my ass to bed.

Next morning Big Poppa text me to tell me he loved the start…i told him i broke it by writing all over it…he agreed..that shit was BROKE…😅

idk…i still like bits of it. I may rip it up and use it in a collage later. Or maybe I’ll break it all the way and give it another round (when Im freshly rested!)
