Live to Inspire is a powerful quote on it's own, but it's truly a profound statement. If your not making someone elses life better, your wasting your time. Even with all the Hope's, goals, and dreams you have, none of it means anything unless you give back. These prominent figures have inspired people for decades, if only to show that it's possible to live your dream and still be a good man at heart.

A drawing of my nephew CJ. A christmas gift to my little brother and sister in law shawn and hannah. My dad helped me with this video. He was always so supportive of my art, and would get almost as excited as i do about cool ideas. We edited this video together. What do you guys think? #charcoal #portrait #drawing #nephew #fatherandsonteam #dreamteam #godimissyoudad #love #family #thesmallthings https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQyZyCggwa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sa9zic52okdm

Stan Lee "Hero of heroes" 140 hours Charcoal on white canvas 46 x 61 cm **** Show some love and share? I'd appreciate it :) **** Two photos of him, one at age 95, the other from 1943 when he was in WW2 I still need to work a little on the hair, and the eye brows, but coming back to this in a couple weeks while i go visit family for christmas. Upon my return, i will get this professionally scanned, and make copies, posters, t shirts, ect ect. There will be TWO versions of this, one with the young stan lee in the corner, and one without, to give people the option. This is going to be the first piece i really try to make residual income with, if this goes well, each original drawing i do from now on will be done the same way, each one adding multiple products to my online store front. I am launching my business this year, and will begin working with a team of people who know how to get this snowball rolling down the mountain. So watch out, its coming. I am still looking for a business partner, if interested, email your resume and references to [email protected] or send a DM *** *** #gallery #artoftheday #stanlee #charcoal #portrait #charcoaldrawing #paint #art_toinspire #sketch_dailydos #art_realism_ #worldofpencils #creative_uprising #creative #artworks #drawings #artist #art #art_insanely #realism #pencilportrait #create #art_spotlight #loveart #photorealism #photography #artgallery #fineart #fineart #corenbenson #comicbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Brs8sp3AeIB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u6wj1jcb5224

A drawing I did back in 2015, it was the first drawing I had done in years, and i used the time lapse video of this as my video portfolio, that got me into film school. This was a new level for me, and I spent 2 months on it, only being able to draw and stay focused for 3 hours every couple days. Now I'm able to draw for longer periods of time with the same patience and focus (the main reason my drawings have gotten more consistent and higher quality). . When i uploaded the video to face book I had hoped to get 400 to 500 views, that seemed the average of every other person who uploaded a video to their personal page. But during that week, with just the friends on my friends list, I had gotten 12k views and 100 shares. . https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1230911306937224&id=100000550988024 . This piece was a benchmark for me, not because its good, or it got me into film school, but rather, it was the first piece of artwork that I did, and when posted, people blew it up. It was the first time I realized how much people appreciate, admire, and support my art. It literally drove me to tears because i never really showed people my art, always kept it to myself cause I was afraid of criticism. But I've been chasing that high ever sense. . This drawing proved to me, that if your good enough, all you have to do is put it out, and the world will come to you. . So please, whether you draw, sing, dance, march, play sports, ect ect. Keep at it Practice in the dark Drill your mastery Put it out And trust . The world will come to you. . . . #charcoal #portrait #art #drawing #fineart #hyperrealism #photo #fineart #coren #charcoalart #blackandwhite #realism #sketch #masterpiece #artist #charcoalportrait #artoftheday #pencil #paper #paint #baby #babyart #infant #toddler #whatstarteditall #milestone (at Burbank, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVp88vAwzX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=192gekatls2jx
