Explanation of some images

Good Morning and Good Afternoon to all !
 
Today I decided to give a little information and explanation on some of the images you may or may not have seen on either this website or from my Instagram account. Some of you may be curious if I picked up this images online or if I made them myself. Some of you may also be curious as to the why I chose to use them. Some honestly don’t have a particular meaning whereas there are others that do.

1994
These four digits represent the year I was born. I made the image using an application on my tablet. I was actually stuck when I first made it because I wasn’t sure if black would seem too dark. The other color I was thinking of using was lavender. I thought this color was softer and would give me an appearance of ‘cute’ or ‘sweet.’ However cute the design, I went with black because I felt that it personally gave a better representation of myself.
Before going any further, I just want to point out that the answer is yes. Yes, I do know it is strange to go on and on about an image that only has two colors, a shape, and a set of numbers. Well, I feel that a little explanation can go a long way and I would like to offer you a look into the process I took into planning this all out. Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy as it may seem.

The Rose
I hand drew this image about two weeks ago in my sketch book. I learned how to draw it from a YouTube video. This is my second try at the rose. The imperfections give me a reminder of what I must work on. I decided to use this image because of the imperfections and felt that it is a good representation of where I hope this can go.

The Compass
This I hand drew the day I got the idea of starting this. I can’t draw a perfect circle, so I actually used the container of a hair product to get that “perfect” circle. My compass represents travel and movement and the possibility of getting lost.

The Heart
When I was designing my website, I came across the little heart at the bottom of the page. I liked it so much I tried to draw it myself. It’s not exactly the same but it is a bit similar. Moreover, I really like this phrase I came across a few weeks ago from a love and personality quiz: love and be loved. I liked it so much that I even use it on my page. For me it means that if you love others, you will be loved back. I’m not completely a romantic, but I feel this is more in reference to people in general like friends, family, and people around you.​

The Sun and Moon
This design was originally drawn about two months ago. I was coming up with ideas very a very simple and small design for a potential tattoo. The crescent moon was inspired by Sailor Moon and the sun was just a simple sun. Historically, many people looked up to these. People even worshipped the power of the sun. Personally, I believe the sun and moon are things to be appreciated because of the things they provide for us here on earth.
