Description Really this holds meaning to me. This isn't just some silly drawing. Recently, I looked through all of my sketchbooks. I realized, wow. These are an open book, they tell the story of my life. Each one shows me memories I retain that I don't normally look back on. I never even thought about this before. I look at a drawing and I remember where I was and what I was doing. It even brings tears to my eyes because with my art I have a way to always remember those who were around me and impacted what I drew. It feels nice to draw this piece now that I hold this view. To be honest, I haven't drawn a meaningful piece of art in quiet some time. Nothing in my gallery, for the most part, means anything to me. The only importance is the memories they hold. I can look back at a drawing and say, "Hey! I drew this the summer that I began my move! It felt so peaceful early in the mornings when I watched the sun rise as I drew! And hey! I took a walk after drawing this one and napped in the rain!" It's just, truly touching that I can remember this stuff. That I can go back in time with the help of everything I've drawn. My art is like a secret time machine.

I also did something different with this piece because I don't normal draw things that aren't transparent. Naturally, everything starts out transparent in SAI until you save it or fill it with the bucket tool. I like this because I got to view my corrective strokes that I made while drawing the initial black part of this. I in turn, decided to clean up those with even MORE corrective strokes. That pink is only some of the movements I made.

Also, I must say. I don't think we realize how some things hold great memories. Whether it's art, or music, or something else! We all have our ways of traveling back in time. We all have a secret time machine somewhere. Just have to open our eyes in order to find it. ;u;

I hope you guys enjoy what I've shared with you today. I think this drawing will be my master time machine. I'll be able to sit here and think of all those drawings I made and every memory there is that they hold, whether I find it to be significant or not.


As for those who don't know my art and characters, this is my character Prince. Oh hey look, another secret time machine! CHARACTERS! Those little buggers will help you remember things as well, the good and the bad. Alright, thank you guys. Please enjoy this.

oh my god you do not know how much i'm in love with this.
seriously brianna this is deep.
to be honest songs always hold the most meaning to me - since i'm really...i don't remember the word, but i'm really "hearing-oriented" if you get what i mean. which is why i listen to all types of music and like all of them.
but to me, all of my worst doodles mean more. like the first time i tried to draw an actual person - i drew loki, right? it was pretty bad haha. but honestly i like it more than any of my current drawings of him because that was my first one - and it was also the one that ariana commented on and everyone else got a good laugh out of it.
i donno, i'm really tired! but seriously this is moving.
