I've had one "episode" in the past that involved spontaneous drawing of someone I do not know.
It happened again last night and just a few minutes ago, I put the drawing of the face on the computer desk where my youngest, Emily, looked at it and said as clear as day "I hate that woman, throw it in the trash, she's dead, she's been dead a long time."
I asked her why she doesn't like her and she said that this woman used to slap her???
Do any of you get a feeling looking at this picture???? I need help on this one because my little one's only 3 yrs old and she was SO SERIOUS it almost scared me!

The last spontaneous drawing experience I had was about a missing girl (5-7 yrs old), I had a feeling (sickening) about a spot in particular off the highway. I drew her face to a T and her eyes were so captivating. I never got to scan that one as I lost the picture when we moved (GRRR)!

Let me know if you "get a vibe" from the drawing.

That certainly is strange MamaBear. I've drawn and painted pictures of people I didn't recognize. One was a pretty bizarre experience that I've never been too comfortable with. I painted a portrait several years back of a woman in old fashioned clothing. It is hard to explain, but while doing it, I had this weird, compelling urge to get it done -- the type of thing where I was working for hours on it. I've never been one to have obsessive behaviors, so this was really out of the ordinary for me. Anyway, after I finished her, I was physically and mentally exhausted, and just sat in the floor and cried. It was the weirdest thing! I've never told that story.
After keeping the old girl around a few days, I decided to paint over her, but the face was very similar to the one before, maybe not quite as spooky. I don't know if "someone" was trying to get some recognition, or what it was, but I am happy to say it hasn't happened since, at least not on that level.
The picture does give off a bit of a funny vibe. I got the impression this might have been an older child, maybe a teenager? Just curious, have your girls ever been kept by a sitter? I just wonder if this could be stemming from a bad experience. (I always look for the logical things first). That certainly was an odd reaction from a child that young.

Carrie, that's basically the same feeling I got in drawing this one and the last one I had done. The urge to finish is stronger than anything I've ever felt and while drawing the first one, all I could hear in my mind was a child's voice saying "Help me". Whenever we'd drive by that spot off the highway, I would get a flash of a little girl and felt sick to my stomach. Everytime is got stronger and the visions were becoming too much, I would see the little girl being abused in ways I won't repeat and saw her being dropped in the woods. It got bad, that I would have to pull over and throw up, that's on the way to my parents' house and I don't drive to their place anymore.
This one, it was no such feeling, just the eyes on this one when I was finished seem to be sad, pleading in a strange way.
My girls have never (I know, hard to believe) been babysat by anyone. My parents takes them camping and that's about it. The girls have always been very open and chatty about everything they think, feel etc and that's why this is catching me off guard so much. Even if she's a smart kid, and has good speech, it was still weird to hear her talking about someone being dead.

Nancy, I can understand why Emily was so turned off by the drawing; the face is somewhat disturbing. I don't care for the facial expression myself, but I cannot say that I see any sadness or pleading necessarily. To me, it's more in line with Howdy Doody's face - which, as we know, isn't pleasant.

You might do well to follow Emily's advice and just go ahead and toss it in the trash so it doesn't bother them or you!

Kell

I think I might just do that Kell, it ain't pretty!

I don't get too much from the picture. Nothing evil certainly. I get a caustic/abrasiveness/meanness from the mouth. That the mouth is somehow threatening but not in a real sense. Sort of a meanness that comes out of being angry from confusion or not understanding.
Did you feel you completed the picture? Or did you stop at some point out of confusion or fear? I get the feeling the picture was meant to show something else too. Something that only took shape partly.

This has reminded me of something else that happened quite a few years ago. When I was in college, I made extra money by making porcelain dolls and selling them. I started making the dolls on commission to look like people's children, and had built a pretty good local following. At one point, I had been approached by a woman to make a portrait doll of her child, who had been deceased for several years. I went to a supply store run by an elderly woman who had done this same type of work years before. I was very close to this lady, and when I told her about my order, she became very upset and asked that I reconsider taking this assignment. It seems that she had also made some portrait dolls of deceased children at one time and it had really wreaked havoc paranormally in her home. She claimed there had been sounds of giggling, children running up and down stairs, etc...
I went ahead and made the doll, and sure enough, there was an increase in activity until the owner picked it up.
Several religions have the belief that artistic images portraying humans somehow capture the souls. Maybe there is something to this? I'm with Kell, Nancy, crumple this thing up and get it out of the house if it makes you or your family uncomfortable.

I've thrown out the drawing, now I will delete the thing out of my album on webshots as well.

Nakis to answer your question, I did not feel that I was completely finished, I didn't finish it because when I looked at the face, it was ... well, a very weird feeling! I didn't know what to make of it and I didn't want to feel strange as I did while drawing.
The funny thing was that I had to "correct" some features of this "person" as though I knew exactly what this person look(ed) (s) like... Why is it that I don't recognize this face? That's what has me puzzled. There were no visions of this, nothing at all, just took paper and pencil and boom, there it was, 10 minutes later.
