I woke up this morning sensing a little charge, in the air. Do you know that feeling?
It’s like the wind changing directions or a that distant rumble, of sorts. Right now, this very minute, it feels like the calm before the storm.
I really noticed it yesterday while I was looking through some drawings I had done for an art challenge, this month, called #AprilAbominations. Everyday I had been drawing the darker side of things. I normally wouldn’t have gone for this type of topic, but that’s what makes it a challenge, right? As April went on I was surprised to see a more sinister me clawing its way out onto paper. Some of my work consisted of my love for movies that scared me as a kid.
Remember me?
While other pieces were practice for me to draw bones, muscles and body types, that I had learned from my recent drawing workshop, I completed.
Ahh, to be able to draw horses again (evil grin).
But I also unleashed that more sinister side of me and used its maniacal powers to experiment on creating something horrifically crazy!
Straight from my head to the sketchbook. Done in pencil and fine ink pens (my first time completing an inking on paper).
Another thing I decided on doing was to dabble in the O.C. (Original Character) world. One of my April Abominations was this vampire beauty.
People then asked about her and I started to think about a backstory…but I’m getting ahead of myself. Now, back to what I was talking about, before.
All this drawing practice I have been doing - has begun, something. A light has flickered on. It’s dim, but the light is on, just the same. I am also starting to hear whispers, as well. Like faint little wisps playing games with my hair and ears - but, it is there, and I can just make out some of the words.
Yes, I am feeling a storm brewing. The rain has started to tap on my window pane and the winds are picking up…
Hold onto something, this should be good.
