Hello seemains, today I brought a new drawing which I entitled "A Thought for a Minute"
"A minute", as I've always been asking myself when will I get there? How long will it take? I've also been asking myself what will I offer when I finally get there? It's a kind of something (to think about) because a lot of people try as much as possible to get there but have little or nothing to offer. "A thought for a minute" as a title given to this work came from the posture of my model and the things that have been running through my mind over the years.
Everything thing we do, everything we think of, takes a minute to start. This might be my minute to think of what I will offer someday, the day people will start asking "was he really here all these while?", "how come I never came to realize?, "How come this time not then?", "Let's see what he can actually offer".
Wasting a minute today will surely be counted down as time being used. Never let go of what you also dream of becoming because that is your future. Take a minute and prepare yourself for tomorrow not today alone. Take a minute and find yourself in the world you desire to be in.
Take a minute and examine your past - from where you started - build on it because that might be your style. People might not be show appreciation just as you go. It will take time. Keep believing you can and work hard more than you used to. If you don't get the chance to talk verbally, take a chance and speak through what you do (your works).
And never forget "Our Success Tomorrow Depends On Our Hard Work Today - Never give up just like that because it will take time for people to accept what you do. Keep up the good work.
Stay blessed and have a fun-filled day...

Thoughtful text and beautiful picture! Certainly, if people would slow down and take a minute to consider things, maybe the world will have more considerate people :> Good reflection <3
The step by step is nice also! I like the way you use shadow and light on this portrait <3
You are absolutely right. I believe it is only a few of that do that.
Understanding the power of light and shade is one of fascinating way of learming and expressing art.
Thank you for your contribution.
Awesome work, @maxijgcomm! Lovely details, in your work. The expression in the eyes is amazing.

So beautifully drawn my friend, I’m so glad I checked out your blog. You’ve really captured the emotion you where going for, fantastic work❣️
Thanks a lot dear friend.
Am glad you stopped by.
Very beautiful piece of art. Art is a such a tool for communication. A tool that should be valued. Weldone bro but I would suggest you always take picture of your art work outside when there is bright sunlight. Have someone hold it for you on a board parallel to you to avoid shadows. It helps in giving a brilliant shot. All the best brother
I like your thought about the way you see art. With art, one cab express his feelings and thought.
You have a good point but I dont like taking a shot under the sunlight because it could make it apper so bright. However, I will consider your suggestion and give it a try.
Thank you for your contribution.
You welcome. Don't keep it flat on the ground have someone hold it for you.

it makes a big contrast with the person and the background :)
You are right. That is the power of light and shade. Underatanding them and manipulating them can be so fun.
Thank you for appreciating my work.
the way you used light is well done. I found the features were perfact
Thank you for observing that.
That is the power of light and shade. When you understand it, you can use it to express yourself in any way.
I do not draw or paint. My wife will not allow me to paint a wall with a roller let along a brush.

Absolutely...that is what art is àll about.
The expression of feeling, thoughts and ideas into a material using any medium.

This is such a detailed work. I love the way the light catches her thumb and the shadows around her neck.
Also love how you add in so much of your own though process.
