Inspiring songs.

Today I'll leave you with another song of Omnia that I love and that I usually listen to while drawing. I advise you to listen to it 'till the end, because somewhere in the middle of the song, it completely changes. That's one of the things I love about Omnia, you're listening to a calm, peaceful song and suddenly it changes  completely without you expecting to, to a more energetic one. This song's called Richard Parker's Fancy and it's absolutely beautiful.

It's drawing afternoon today ! And if I don't finish it today, tomorrow is drawing day too. :) The sketch is done and I'll start now with the details (shadows, light, etc etc). This week's song is a calm and romantic one and I obviously like to draw to the sound of it. It's tittle is Perfect for Me, by Ron Pope. Please enjoy !

Anyways, changing the subject now... I am very GLAD to let you know, that Avan Jogia, yes you read it well, Avan SAW drawing I made of him ! (don't know Avan ? Don't know which drawing I'm talking about ? CLICK HERE !) After trying to make the drawing get to him so many times, I finally did it and when I least expected. I shared the link to the drawing sometimes in a reply to him on Twitter, even when he was live tweeting with Twisted fans under the tag #Twistedchat, but I didn't get lucky enough until 3 days ago. I went on Twitter some hours after publishing once again the link to the drawing, and to my surprise, I saw that Avan faved the tweet ! You can't imagine how proud I am. This just comes to proves that your hard work always rewards you somehow. This was the best reward I could get.

In English, it reads: ✩ Avan Tudor Jogia has marked your tweet as favourite.

Filipa, 

                        your tweet was faved !

Surprise, surprise.

Still have a lot to work on. I have a deadline to finish the drawing I'm currently working on, it has to be done before September 19th. That's the day I start my Aikido practises again, and the drawing I'm working on is for my sensei, but he has no idea I'm doing it. It's a surprise. :)

After that, I have at least three comissions to do, if I'm not mistaken. For friends, family, and people that have seen my drawings and wanted one too. I'm really happy. I just hope that when I get back to school I have time for everything. And for the blog too, even though I haven't posted much lately. :/
Hope you are still with the blog. In the meantime, I'll leave you with a pic of me working on the sketch of the drawing I mentioned I was working on right now. :)

Inspiring songs.

Hi everyone. I know I haven't been posting much lately, so I'm sorry (I already lost count of the times I say this at a beginning of a post lol). I am glad to say that lately what's been taking my time is some requests and some comissions I got. I'm really happy that people like my work just enough to ask for a drawing. And some people gave me a lot of suggestions of who to draw next and how to improve my technique, so thanks everyone ! It feels really good to have feedback for something you work hard for. :)

Anyways. I'm not sure of when I shall post again with a new drawing, and I'm not sure if I'll have people's permission to post the comissions I'll make here, so I thought about posting something different and that I could update every week.

Every week I'll share with you a song that I usually listen while I'm drawing. Songs that inspire me and ease my mind to work.

Today I chose one of my favourites ever. It's called Fairy Tale, by Omnia (one of my favourite bands, you should listen to them !). The lyrics are not theirs, it's actually a poem written by Lewis Carrol. And let me just add, it's breath-taking. This song soothes my mind. I easily stress when something doesn't turn out the way I want to, and this song helps me to control stress too. 

I'll leave you with the song, the lyrics are on the video. :)
