The sketch you see in the first picture was what I started about a year ago. I wanted to focus more on school for a little while, and put my art aside. In doing that, I found my problems only began. After that year came and went, a lot of things happened to me that just reopened my eyes, and forced me to only worry about myself. The title of this piece, much like my others, is a piece of me. This piece is truly the "Essence" of me. Enjoy!
