Very Excited

Hello Everyone!

Well today I'm quite excited for three reasons:

1. Tomorrow is my last full day in Cartagena and I'll be celebrating with the colleagues of the uni and the project at a mexican restaurant, which is always great! :D I have also almost finished packing and my bag is not overweight! Yay!

2. In May I'll be going back to Mexico with my boyfriend, we'll be there for 4 months and we were looking for a house, and we found an AMAZING place! its beautiful! So I'm sure I'll also be very inspired to draw more there :)

3. One of the most important reasons I'm excited is the drawings I want to show you today!

First the Crab-House!!! The inspiration came because Sorada was one night telling me about my horoscope sign (which is obviously cancer) and she knows many fun details! One of them is the fact that Cancerians tend to be very "housey" so i decided to portray that as a crab taking his home everywhere, because I guess she is right. I do love to make people feel welcome at my house and I can stay a whole day at home being happy haha.

The second is a sketch and the final piece of a Night-Creature. I have been toying around with the idea of a star as hat and then when buying a children's book i found one about mexican legends and the deer is a very important being. So hence the idea. I might have overdone it with the spirals leaving her hand.. but it had to be a bit magic!  (and it was looking a bit mononoke princess again- yeah love that movie)

 

Finally I was able to make my cat related drawing for my friend Sorada. She has two cats Bruce and Bibi and Sorada herself is a very strong woman and very intelligent researcher. So I wanted her to look cool and like queen of the world haha. The poem on the dress is about a a kitten from E. Farjeon.

After a small pauze...

Hello again!

As you noticed, there was a longer pause than intended in between the posts, sorry!
I went on vacations after finishing my thesis so yes, my head was somewhere else. Thankfully i did do some pictures at the time.

In order of creation :P the first was made in my parents house garden, there is a small owl decoration between the plants so i got the idea of a small cute owl on a flower. - Maybe i'll do more owl, their details are very fun!

Second one is a quick sketch of a person looking out at sea. My dad stood with his towel over his shoulders after a swim for quite a while looking out to the horizon. I think we both have been able to find peace slowly.

Third and last (for now!) is still a work in progress of a night full of thoughts that just transform.. not trying to be too poetic haha, but just some good vibes of stars, clouds, shinny bugs and more.

Now that i'm in Cartagena.. again... i will be able to draw more. I have also gotten inspiration of looking at some art books about sketches for graffiti and stuff. Awesome drawings, i really want to create such good stuff. I think i need some main themes or ideas to draw some series. So if anyone does read this and wants to leave a post, feel free!
