"Lookin for Me" & "Old School Love (Revisted)"

I found this picture on Myspace. It was on someone's profile that was a new member. The pose just caught my eye. So i guess you can say i borrowed it. This is just a pencil sketch and i originally wanted words or possibly a poem to the far right.
"Looking for Me?" wasn't the original title. The title itself was more of a phrase. Most of the time when i draw on colored paper i have a habit of covering the paper completely and not allowing some of the color to show thru. this time i wanted the paper's color to dominate the drawing. Therefor i used white and a pinkish red sparingly.
I'm also on the search for photos and this was actually part of a Netflix ad that i found. I'm not sure why but i love watching most black and white movies. I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that most of those movies were pure and with very little nonsense added into their stories.
i got a very small canvas when i brought some acrylic paints. So small in fact i wondered what could i actually paint on this. "Old School Love (Revisted)" was the idea fit because i only have so many canvases that are being used for other projects. The arylic paint i was using didn't really flow the way i wanted it to. I thought about painting it perfectly the way it was intead to be painted but the black clashing with the white had a more dramatic feel therefor i left it.
