Getting My Mojo Back

I have been making a lot more artwork recently since I just want to fill up my sketchpad fast. Aside from that, I want to explore all the other visual art media that I have available. It has been a while since I made an artwork using colored pen and charcoal. I know that I am not good at using them, but I try. So far, these are my works on the sketchpad.

I have made these works for various reasons. The top left work is entitled "Every Time You Go". This illustrates a scene whenever my girl travels on her motorcycle. It has the word "amping" which means "take care". It is something I always tell her. On the other hand, the top right image is "Pass The Leaf". I have an entry about it on this site. The mid-left is "Cobain" which I made during the anniversary of his death. Opposite to it is the mid-right sketch study of Taylor Swift which I did just because I am a fan of hers. I also made this to see if I still know how to make a charcoal portrait. Next is the bottom left, which is a splashing of water. This was something my girl told me to make after asking her sister to suggest something for me to draw. I feel that this work sucks and I am really not good at using pastel medium. Finally, the bottom left is "A New Tattoo" which portrays a person who is just beginning to tattoo another person (still with a stencil on his arm). I actually fashioned the tattoo artist with my tattoos, as if it were me tattooing another person. This is because I once dreamt of being a tattoo artist, but I know for a fact that I am not fit to be one (patience issue, and hand steadiness issue).

I have uploaded these works on my social media pages. On my Facebook, my Taylor Swift sketch had a good reception from my friends and followers. Friends were asking if I do sketch commissions, which unfortunately I do not (for the time being). On my DeviantArt, it is also my Taylor Swift sketch that garnered lots of favorites.

Overall, I am happy with the art I have produced these few days. I believe I am getting my mojo back which has been dormant for a while.
