My day - vacation day 3

I'm currently spending some time at my parents. Today I had a lovely day in the garden. Been amazing weather and a few of the kitties came by =) it's really great being here. Lately I've felt so stresses out, needed a break for a little while. I am sure inspiration will come back soon too.

Black Pearls + Colourful Beauty


Beautiful reference: link

Not so long ago I went and bought some new colours, particular turquoise and orange/yellow colours and I don't have a whole lot of these. I've never been very fond of turquoise but lately I've started to see the colour differently. I wanted to branch out from the typical Zindy colours, if you can call it that. It's no secret I love pink, baby blue and basically all lighter pastel colours.
At the beginning of the year when I did With Love and Breathe in Breathe out, I realised how much more dramatic/powerful a drawing can get with brighter colours.

This one I've been working on and off on for nearly 3 weeks. It took a very long time creating the details + I haven't been much in a drawing mood lately. There's been much going on occupying me this month so it does feel nice to have some completed drawings finally.

My second drawing is one I did today. I was very determined this morning, to do a new colourful drawing, using turquoise again. I've gotten a few requests to do a shaped woman and it was nice to actually give it a go. I wanted her to have a beautiful strong face. So many girls (and boys) struggle with weight, sometimes it can feel like an endless battle.

Nichlas Herluf portrait



Drawing of Nichlas Herluf, from the Danish version of Paradise Hotel 7.
I had to draw him as he's amazingly beautiful and an incredible sweet and honest guy, my favourite to win all through the show. Plus it was a really good exercise doing this portrait.

New preview

I haven't been so active lately, been busy with family visiting and a few important commission works. Not felt the big inspiration to do art but I have been working on a little drawing the past weeks, here's a sneak preview:

Gifts from the talented ScarletGothica


I was thrilled to receive this lovely print and postcards by the talented and sweet ScarletGothica
She's amazing and a great friend of mine. This particular drawing/print is my favourite, very dreamy and magic. It will go up right above my computer screen.
If you don't know her work, you can find it here: link
