Holy macaroni!

Oops!

I haven't updated this in ages xD

But there is a reason, I have many many times said I have a hard time finding inspiration.

This is mostly because of private reasons like depression and some other shit c:

But don't you worry! I have a few things I'll be uploading soon... ^_^

In the meantime I'll give yah this that was uploaded on DA not long ago;

Thanks for visiting and don't be afraid to leave a comment C:

Lana Del Rey

Recognize her? Maybe, maybe not. She's not that famous, yet.

Her artist name is Lana Del Rey, though her real name is Lizzy Grant.

I absolutely adore her music and can't stop listening to any of her songs,

I hate it that she's getting more and more famous since I worry that the media will change

her into one of those typical pop-artists. I really, really don't want her to loose all her

awesomeness just because the media wants her to be in a certain way.

ANYWAYS

I started drawing her yesterday, I'm drawing her on an aquarelle A3-paper (42x30 centimeter).

This is the first time I'm drawing realism on such a big paper, I'm used to drawing on A4-paper

and smaller papers, so this is going to be interesting! :)

I love how it's turned out this far, and I hope to it keep that way!<3

Oh, and sorry for not being active lately, I've had art-block... and I

think I still have it, I'm amazed every minute I manage to continue on this drawing xD<3

thanks for taking a look and don't be afraid to leave a comment!<3

"Old"-ish drawings!

Something I drew some time ago...</3

 The arm is too short, I know ^^' still like it though~

I saw a photo somewhere and decided to draw it c: I'm so bad at drawing landscapes/rooms etc, so I thought I'd practice a bit P:

Practiced at drawing different poses, and drawing clothes ^_^~

I'm soooo very sorry about the quality! I took it with my web cam and it's not a very good one D:<

I really love this picture though ^_^

If you can't tell, it's supposed to be my version of Rapunzel, 

I was inspired by the movie "Tangled" :3

These werd sketches are from autumn last year, oh god, the anatomy XD sorry about that<3

I have a some new drawings coming up soon, stay tuned if you want to see them!<3 :3

Thanks for taking a look, and I hope to see you here again soon!<3

Aquarelle... again!

Her chin is kinda weird, I know >u<''

I still love the feeling of this drawing though, she looks so calm....~

"Lady in the water"

( http://nittieve.deviantart.com/art/Lady-in-the-water-305719368 )

I used a reference here, the person in the photo is a girl I hardly know. We're friends on facebook but I've never met her in real life or actually talked/typed with her Px

I saw her profile picture and wanted to draw her, I don't think I succeeded in making it look like her so I won't tell her I drew her x'3

I still like the result though~ ^_^

Sooooo yeah, I've started to paint with aquarelle a lot lately! I can't seem to stop painting! the ideas just keep coming o: 

Oh, and don't sketch before painting with aquarelle. 

I only use aquarelle, no pencils or whatever. The only things I use are a brush, paper and aquarelle~<3

Aquarelle!

I got some aquarelle colors from my art teacher today,

she's noticed that I haven't been feeling well lately. Since I know her since a few years back

(before I even started going to the school she's working at)

she was worried for me.

So to give me a bit of a confidence and an inspiration boost she gave me these aquarelle colors!

That was really nice of her wasn't it? ;-;

There they are~ c:

She also gave me this assignment, or I should probably say she suggested I'd do something to make me inspired...

She said that I could paint something every single day during summer (ofcourse it wouldn't hurt to start now ^^) with these aquarelle colors. They are easy to carry around and doesn't weigh much. I have an idea of going to the park where I live where there's lots and lots of beautiful flowers and use them as reference when I paint :3

I also live really close to a lake which looks really pretty during sunset.

Oh, and I have this gorgeous view from my balcony<3

She also said that I should use small papers and paint on them without thinking of what to draw, just... draw o3o I got this idea later on that I could make it into a collage afterwards c:

You like the way I'm thinking? C'x<3

Thanks! comments are very much appreciated! //

Details! - in my pants o.o

(click on the picture to see details ^^)

I was doodling and then I kind of just came up with this guy xd

THOSE HIPS AIN'T BE LYIN'! ;DD

I was inspired by two things, a bit from Alice in Wonderland (ofc ;d) and this picture: http://nittieve.deviantart.com/favourites/#/d51ec34

It was a while ago that I drew something detailed ^^', or at least in a cartoon-ish way Cx<3

//THANKS for taking a look!<33

Two finished drawings coming right up... right now!

Here's something I started a week ago and finished this tuesday! Hope you like~ ^_^

(click on the picture to see details or go here: http://nittieve.deviantart.com/#/d4zzdxq )

Aaaaand here's the other drawing you saw in my previous entry, all finished!

(click on the picture to see details or go here: http://nittieve.deviantart.com/art/My-precious-300584427 )

I have been drawing, I promise.

Oh, and I'm not going to give you an explanation to why I haven't been submiting anything lately, I see no point in letting you guys know about my private stuff e.e

Thanks for taking a look, and I do appreciate comments!

Thanks!//

So here's a new drawing, finally!<3

My mind has been filled with dark stuff lately,

so here's a dark drawing!

It's not finished yet, but will be soon ^^

The reason behind why I'm not updating that often is because my life is kind of

going through a rough patch at the time.

I'm depressed most of the time, and don't really feel like doing anything, so blogging is definitely

the last thing I feel like doing ><

Now I've managed to collect some energy to write this post, it's not much, but it's something

to let you know I'm alive xd

(Oh, and don't think that this is the only thing I've drawn in the last weeks,

I've drawn quite a lot, actually x'3)

Anyways, I hope you're doing better than me and that you're filled with creativity! Thanks! //xo

おにぎり! (Onigiri)

(click on it for a bigger version :3)

So I drew some Onigiri's yesterday, hah x3<3 It made me feel like eating them up, I really like how they turned out~

I love drawing food actually, you can have a lot of fun with it ^_^

Take care!~

Rainboooow.

Yeah, so this is the kind of stuff I doodle in photoshop xD

Hm, I don't have that much to say really o.o

Bye~<3

Some sketches b*tches!

Oh, the lovely quality ;)<3

(just click on the pictures to get a better view on the details and such) ^_^~

I drew this last year in late November/early December. 

I have, during some time been experiencing some issues with eating. I don't know if you could really say that I have evolved some kind of an eating disorder though. I felt like I needed to get all my thoughts out of my head, and the result was this drawing. No, you needn't worry, I'm not super-skinny or anything, I'm actually pretty normal :)

Even so, still knowing all that I still keep on experiencing some troubles with eating still.

Though I have to let you know, I am working on it and I'm not the only one who knows about my current situation. Most people around me know all about it.

I drew this last year as well.

Now, this is just a sketch so I know that there are a lot of mistakes in it, but try to look past them ^^'

Have you ever just bottled all the problems/negativity etc. and not taken care of it? I've been felling that I rarely really do something about things that come up. I just push it inside the closet and try not to think about it anymore. But just because I push it away and put it somewhere where I can't see it, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Drew it yesterday P:

I really need to practice at anatomy. I haven't drawn as much as I'd like to lately and I feel that as soon as I pick up the pencil and try to draw something I can't get the lines to look the way I want them to. I have issues with getting my ideas out from my mind, through my arm, out to my hand, in to the pencil and on to the paper.

I think I'm experiencing this because I've had this art-block (as some artists would like to call it). It's when you just can't draw. You don't have the inspiration (or, in some cases, you do). But you just can't make it look right/the way you want it to look. It's extremely frustrating, and the most important thing to do is to not give up. You could take a five minute break cuase that's okay. But go back to the drawing board as soon as possible, push yourself through that wall, -that's what I'm doing right now. I don't want to continue letting in this art-block block me so much as it does. I truly hate it. I'm gonna get out my frustration on paper and break down that wall ;)<3

Once again, sorry for the bad quality!

No, I'm not gonna promise to submit better-looking drawings because I know I won't be able to keep it! :)

Darkness

- I drew this about two weeks ago~ ^^ -

I love drawing dark stuff, and lately that's pretty much what I've been drawing. I love drawing cute stuff as well, but as soon as I try to, it won't work. I have a lot of dark inspiration and I'm not sure of why I do. I do have a few guesses though, but still, it's just a guess. I'm not gonna talk about those though since this blog isn't about my life, it's about my art <3

It's almost 12 am in Sweden now as I'm writing this, I'll probably go to bed soon :)

Night ;)<3

First post.

^That's me up there~ c:

This post isn't gonna be that interesting. I was just planning on telling you guys who I am and what kind of drawings that I'll be submiting.
So as the square to the right says; I'm a 17 year old girl -turning 18 in may- who loves to draw. I'm writing everything in english so that more people will be able to understand what the hell I'm writing xD and, I just simply adore English to death<3 hoho. *weird laughter?*
Anyways, my style has changed a little lately. I have, for about 7 years been interested in manga and anime. So there are times when I draw manga, BUT lately I've started to draw more realism, mostly humans and it's mostly just the head and down to the chest. Full body will probably come later I guess, though not right now since I'm focusing on learning the face anatomy ^_^~

When I draw humans or manga, I don't use references. It's all in my head, though I do admit that I sometimes use references, but I will tell you if I submit a drawing and I've used a reference. I'm not gonna take any credit for an idea that I didn't come up with :l that's really unfair and disrespectful to the person who actually came up with it.

I've always been interested in art and drawing. I remember when I was six years old and I was in school (yes, I was in school at age six though it was more like kindergarden >_>) I always stayed inside during the breaks so I could paint instead. I believe I did the same thing in kindergarden :) So, I've practically been drawing my whole life.
I'm a perfectionist when it comes to making art, so I sometimes build up these weird walls that makes me unable to draw something. Which is really irritating .-. I remember once when I didn't draw for 3 months because of that weird wall I had built up. I criticize myself a lot, and want it to be perfect. Though I have to tell you that I'm only a perfectionist when it comes to drawing. I'm pretty laid back and such in real life ^_^


- I think this is enough for now. x'D
I hope to see you here again soon<3 (because if you're reading this it actually means I have a visitor! O: )
