Freak out!

Mood swings.
I think everyone, especially teenagers, know them. One moment you're completely okay and then, out of the sudden, you're all sad and moody and don't want to do anything.
Well, today was exactly the opposite. I was really moody, because I was late for school and I studied 'for nothing', but in the afternoon I suddenly became happy. The weather was so nice and I just wanted to jump and scream and run around, but I also wanted to do something creative. That turned out like this:


I made this spotify playlist with happy music and then I started. Nothing organized, just putting random things on some canvas and don't think about it! I did everything in the garden, while wearing two sweaters and a scarf :)

The meaning of this is that you just have to freak out sometimes. For some people that means getting completely wasted in a club with loud dance music and for some people it's just having a little playbackshow in their garden while painting :)

How did you guys enjoy this good weather?

Inspiration

Hey guys! Long time no see!
Today I want to tell you something about inspiration. I get inspired by many things, such as music, art, but also words people say or little things that I notice during the day.
I also get inspired by artist and someone who has really inspired me is Hannah Pixie Snowdon. She is one of the most reblogged faces on tumblr, but she's actually a tattoo artist and Bring Me The Horizon's singer Oliver Sykes' girlfriend.

  

 Hannah has a specific style of doodling that I really like, so I decided to draw something inspired by her style. It became this tattoo design. 



I really liked it, but I wanted to make it more in my own style, so I used more shadows in the next thing I drew, which is a bit inspired by this pic. 



Looking around for a nice dress, I found this pic on tumblr. I got the idea to use it for a flower and after some boring lessons, this was the result. 




As you can see, inspiration can be everything! You just have to add a little fantasy!
