Au Naturale

I haven't posted in like over a month...and that's mainly due to my life taking a drastic change.  On May 7, 2014, my father passed away, and it was...and still is...very hard on me.  I miss him so much, and its just been tough adjusting to life without him, and especially seeing how his absence has effected everyone around me and not just me.  I lost my motivation to draw...and I had to force myself to do so because I was doing commissions amidst all of that.  But these pictures below that I'm posting were done before my time with my dad was cut short.

I was drawing a series of women of color sporting natural hairstyles, and I had no idea how many I was going to make...and I still plan on making more.  But my series was interrupted by real life happenings.  Hopefully I can return to this soon.  I wanted to make them look like posters but with a very limited color palette and see how that would work.

Like I said, I plan on doing several more of these.  If you would like to purchase any of these as an 11" x 17" print on high quality semi gloss cover stock paper, you can do so at Illumistrations.storenvy.com.  I'm also doing a sales promotion currently where you can save 15% off of your total purchase by using the promo code MOVE15.  Please help me with my moving expenses to a new city and a new job!

Never take anyone for granted and cherish all of the moments that you have with someone, because you don't know if that will be the last time you see them, the last time you can hold and touch them, the last time you see them smile, or the last time you can tell them that you love them.  Life is precious.

Stay blessed.
