This blog is still on holidays

Hello,

I'm not drawing anything at the moment which bugs me a lot. I can do little about that - super busy with all the rest of the stuff.

Here, have a dragon.

Hello dear world

I know I've been gone for quite a while. And probably I won't be updating this blog a lot since it's SUMMER. Anyway, here's some stuff I did for my arts class.

IF: Heights

I've started drawing this one and then decided to check the topic for this week's Illustration Friday. Works just fine. Extra points for you if see another person there.
The main picture is borrowed from the one below, as it was just some scribbling and oh boy I love the original pic.

Also, I've started Life Drawing course so you might see some nudes in this blog later on hehe.

Weekend intentions

How many times we promised to ourselves to be productive with our free time. I did thousands of times. Especially weekends... Thank god if I have work on weekends because otherwise I'm the most useless person on this planet.

Well then, hope you have a great weekend! :-)

More feathers in our lives part 3

Again, more feathers. Also, ignore the weird picture on the right, I can't remember what I was trying to do there.

We need more feathers in our lives part 2

Illustration Friday: Intention

So I'm coming back to Illustration Friday with this week's entry 'Intention'.
I had two drawings for this topic, however I'm more fond of this one. It nicely shows where our (or our friends') good intentions lead sometimes.
Please do press on the picture to get a better idea of what is happening there :-)

Hi deer

I like deers and I like skulls. Weird human being, I am.

Should I do this with watercolours or leave black and white? I'm kinda tempted to do this in extremely bright and shiny colourful way. We'll see how it goes.

We should have more feathers in our lives

I've drawn this girl in my university when I had a spare hour until my next class. I love feathers. I love antlers more, but feathers are probably in the second place.

I would make terrific clothes if I would be a fashion designer. Hehe, I probably wouldn't. Fashion world would eat me alive. Anyway, I hope I'll meet someone who knows how to make clothes and we'll do one awesome collection together with tons of feathers and a make-up that will remind you of shadows and Rocky Mountains.

And yes, I do dream a lot. And yes, I do want to do a lot of things in my life. And no, I'm not a 13 year-old idealistic enthusiastic girl. I'm already doing some things I've always dreamt of. I just honestly believe that you have to dream and you have to make as much from your life as possible. As much as you want.

What happens when you don't have any idea what to draw...

...You end up drawing random things that don't look any good. At least that's the case for me. I have to have an idea before I start. And that's the most annoying thing as ideas don't find a way to my mind very easily. So from time to time I start drawing without having any clue what I'm drawing, then realize it's bad, then have to finish because I hate unfinished things. I mean, those purple/blue/red mushrooms are not THAT bad, right? Right guys? (One mushroom has wings! Wings! Ok I'll leave now.) Anyway, it was a good watercolour practice and that's all that matters at the moment.

Btw, what's with this new Blogger appearance? I kinda like it!

In search of distinction

Watercolours - Every night my teeth are falling out

Remember me saying that I want to do this drawing in colours? So I did. This is a first try. Took me a good part of my day to make everything look colourful but dirty.I still don't understand watercolours but I started enjoying myself.

Creature with big ears

Here's a creature for you (I should probably start giving them names, it seems unethical or something to call them 'creatures'). He's a sophisticated kind of creature - for dinner he would choose a young wine from family winemakers from somewhere in Australia. He would support family-owned businesses and young talents. He would see a lot of potential in their future. He would make a lot of money from them later on too. He likes the idea of the future - it's where you have to look for inspiration, not the past.

Meet Peter

Here's Peter. He lives on the other side of yesterday's shopping list. Well, I'm not sure if he's still alive actually. Probably in a bin somewhere.
I'd love to learn to draw comics. The tiny problem is that I haven't read a single comic book in my life. And I'm not planning to. Maybe I would, if I knew a really good one.

This is me in Malta

Hi, this is me in Malta. (silly Laura you are not in Malta, you are in this freezing country called Scotland!) Yup I know I'm not there but a girl has dreams.

An this is a beach I'm currently at. Mountains, sand and sea! (and yes I know I'm not here at the moment but wait till summer...)

Being a coward makes you do bravest things

Honestly, I don't know (and probably won't know) a bigger coward than myself. I'm afraid of so many things and that makes me behave in ways I never thought I would behave. One of the biggest fears for me is to be ordinary, to be boring. I'm so scared that people would think so, I'm doing my best to be interesting. I have no idea how is it going for me so far, but well I still have friends so probably not that bad.
Boredom is what makes you think all those weird thoughts. Boredom might make you feel depressed. Boredom is probably the worst thing in the world. And I'm sooo scared of it.
I'm scared of the darkness too. So I was pushing myself to do impossible things. Well, impossible for someone who's afraid of the dark. I was making myself walk around in the flat at night with no lights on. Cold sweat, I do know you. Walk in dark alleys (which is more stupid than helpful though), empty streets alone.
I'm scared of being bad in something. I might be - I suck in writing this blog for example. I choose not to think about it. As about other things - perfection is the only way in my humble opinion.

Every night my teeth are falling out

mmm I wish to do this with paint someday. Inspired by The Antlers - 'Every night my teeth are falling out'.

New year, new pens

random this week's doodles

Happy New Year everyone!

Hi everyone,

I know the blog is quite dead at the moment (exams/away for Christmas/celebrations) but I'd like to wish a very happy New Year for everyone.
For myself, I'd wish for more inspiration or maybe more time and concentration for the things I like to do. I believe this is a fine wish to everyone.
We only live once - trying living the best life possible.

Laura :-)
