IF: Shy

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.

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.

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.

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.

In search of distinction

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.

New year, new pens

random this week's doodles

Kitchen towel is good for drawing too

Drawn on a kitchen towel when didn't have any paper nearby. Inspired by interesting article in nytimes.com about our "no anger, no edge, no ego" generation. Worth reading.
Also, today is one month till my birthday and I'm starting to get that feeling "oh fuck, I'm old"

People from my world on my random papers

There is enough

I wrote this one after my first visit to Glasgow in September 2010. One American girl said it to me and I still believe it. There is this big and interesting and fascinating world but there is always time to see everything if you want hard enough. I love how wishes come true.

One friendly creature

Well, if you think about it, we all can be friendly (if we want it). This guy was drawn in August 2010.

Taking my procrastination to new level

Antlers again
