Day 25 - Tea and Stars

I'm very happy with my drawing for day 25. :)

 I found a great blog with very inspiring pictures the other day, and one of the pictures inspired me this drawing. :)
The blog is Marguerite Gisele. And here is the original picture:

I love getting inspired by pictures over the internet! It's not the first time it happened to me recently. I stumbled upon this picture by Love Elycia :

And did this:

It's fun to do and the result is always so different from the picture. I should do that more often. :)

Now, it's cutie pie time :)

Day 23 - Little Artist

Yesterday's drawing. :)

Day 11 and 12 - Fun Fair Girl, Geisha and Ballerina

I tried to catch up with my water color drawings. I did 3. I'm not really happy with them but I have more ideas for my sewing so...

This is the one I did for Day 11.

Day 12.

Day 12. I just hate this one... I wanted to paint a tutu. The drawing is just awful.

Here's the drawing I'm the happiest with. It's pastel on canva. :) Pastels are fun!

Today's Work. The purse is the best I've done so far! Everything is straight and in place. :)

And here's a picture of my nails :p Just because! :p For once they are all even! I used my favourite nail polishes, the golden one and the gold glittery one.

I feel weary tonight...Probably because I work so hard every day on my shop and the results are so far from steady.

Well, tomorrow I'm seeing my gal pal Estelle; it will do me good. :)

Next week I planned to go get more fabrics, because I used up all of the velvet. I use it to make bags. I want to make more bags!! And shopping for fabrics is so much fun.

Most pictures were taken by my boyfriend, he wants me to credit him. :p

It's done now. 

Day 6 - Enid and Stuff

Today was a pretty great day. I got to do all the things I meant :)
First things first, here is my drawing of the day! Inspired by Enid Coleslaw I guess :p

I started making pretty neckalaces with my drawings. It's not the first time but this time I completely mastered the printer! Ha!

I also made a bunch of brooches... I like this one the best.

And now, after a quite productive day, I'm off to watch the Mummy's Return and eat some delicious home-made soup :)

Day 5 - Portrait and Reflex Camera

Today I actually didn't do a whole drawing, bad me! I've been really busy shopping....  Yep, bad me again...
I bought a camera... Knowing that I bought one last week makes me even naughtier!!! Well, this time it's a reflex!
It was second hand and it was a steal!(250€) I couldn't resist. Especially after I took this first picture in the store to check it out, I was in love! I had to have it! I've been wanting to have a reflex for so looong!

It's a Canon Rebel T1i. :)

I have seen so many great pictures taken by this camera on Flickr! It's 5 years old but it's pretty awesome! 

Here is the one I bought last week :) It's nice to have the option to bring along a tiny camera. It's also a Canon. I love this brand!!! My first digital camera was a Canon, one of the first Ixus, and I used to take pictures during concerts with it and they were pretty neat for such a small camera! 

Me after my purchase, all happy on the streets of Paris :)

And for now, the drawing of the day, and I have to be honest, it kind of sucks... :p

And if I wanna be even more honest, I actually only did the outline today...The whole drawing was actually done yesterday. When I say I'm bad! But hey! I didn't have the time today! Shopping is a full time job :)

During my shopping spree, I found a bunch of books (3 by Chrichton, I love him, he's genius! One by Hawthorne, I was looking for this one, and my boyfriend got me one as well :) The wind-up bird chronicle by Murakami; I LOVE when he buys me books!! We got a few movies as well.

I also got a load of pens... and yarn, exciting, uh?

Let's stop for today with this picture of 'bouche rose' (pink mouth as I call him), the cutest of the cute.

Day 3 and 4 - Drawings Mermaid and Twin Girls

Ok, si I decided that March was going to be a drawing a day!

Here is my drawing for March 3

And here's my drawing for today :)

I'm reading this book right now, The White Forest By Adam McOmber, and at point he's talking about this hidden portrait of a Lady with black flowers in her hair... Got me inspired for today's drawing(s).

I should do a post on the books I'm reading as well :) That would be nice to keep track of this as well :p

IT actually looked more promising without the coloring that it turned out to be :/ I don't really like the result with the colors.

That's it for today!

I decided I would do a different 'event' each month. I already have an idea for april and I can't wait!!!

For now, let's stick with a drawing a day :) I need to fill up this sketch book of mine :p

Day 2 Drawings - Water-soluble Color Pencils

I didn't feel much like sewing today, so I drew instead...

I used water-soluble color pencils by the brand Caran D'Ache for these drawings. They are so much easier to use than watercolors. This is an very good brand, the pencils are high quality. When I was a kid I had a box that belonged to my Mom when she was a kid and the pencils were still in great condition.
I do all of the outlines with a black ball point pen.
I bought this box of water colors about a year ago and gave up on them because they are so hard to manage and the colors I have are just not that great, but they are awesome to paint the background of my drawings! I used to do it with fountain pen ink, and it was quite a drag, to get the cartridge open, then put the ink in a little plate or something... Now it's much simpler with water colors and I love the result.


Here is the first drawing I did today.

Then I wanted to make the same girl but with more colors. Here's the result.

THe last drawing I did is my favourite! As you probably noticed I love doing portraits! I'm obsessed with female faces. Even the felt jewelry I make consists of 95% of girl portraits :)

Here's my drawing step by step.

It feels good to draw again!! :)
