Who to expect
What happens when you begin your drawing? Of course a face appears, but who is it? Is it the face of a loved one? Is it the face of a guide, a teacher or an inspirer?
At first your drawings may only be a few lines or more resemble a Picasso painting than the Mona Lisa but this is part of the learning process. As I have said before keep drawing and soon you will have a face that someone may recognise (or not).
Once you have a decent face on your paper, what then? In my experience, I go for the jugular and ask is it a face that the recipient recognises.The response varies but if your recipient does not recognise your beautifully crafted drawing, it is down to, I've found, that unless its a direct member of the family or very close friend, the recipient probably won't recognise the face they are looking at. To be fair, most of us have met many, many people in our lives and most of them were fleeting. Did you once give directions to someone who was appreciative of your help? Did you once help a disabled person cross a busy road? The list could be endless.
Then again, your fabulous drawing could be a spiritual being whom the recipient would not know - ever. This is because that image is a guide, teacher, inspirer, communicator and more. This is where you, as a psychic artist, will have to provide the information to go with the drawing to identify the said image. As you would provide info for someone who is recognised, therefore you would also have to provide information about the drawing that is not recognised. Don't worry about this as the information will come to you as you are drawing or, if you want want to work with another medium, then through him/her. Even so, you do need to provide a bit of information yourself for the other medium to link to.
I've found that if my drawing is taking a little longer to draw, then I am drawing a guide etc. They often turn out a lot softer to look at, as if they are being seen through light gauze or lit by a very soft light. My explanation of this is that these beings no longer have the the look of old age or stress as they would have on earth. A drawing of someone who has passed and is recognised would be shown with all the lines, hollow cheeks and the rest for recognition purposes. A spirit guide does not need this as facial recognition is not required, just identification and acceptance.
This guy on the left is my teacher and inspirer who came to me some time ago. It took me 3 hours to complete because I knew he was someone special. I felt so relaxed and calm and I felt that I had to draw him slowly as I needed to capture the "specialness" about him. Even then, I didn't recognise him for who he is. I drew him on the 29th of March 2005 and I finally became aware of him on 18th December 2005, nearly nine months later. He likes to be called Joshua although, he says, he has had many names throughout his many existences. He says that he first lived in what we call old testament times although he wasn't aware of time having names then. He has told me that it is he that has guided me though my development and says that now I'm aware of him we can get some work done. This is what happens when when you work with spirit, you think you've made great strides only to find you've made just one step.
So if you are starting out on your journey as a psychic artist, learn to be sensitive as to the identity of the image you've drawn and working with your spiritual superiors you will develop the gift to draw portraits of spiritual beings, whoever they are.
