I used pencils, a brush for blending and a couple of erasers plus the original picture that was taken by my cousin's friend.

This piece took me about three months, because I just couldn't find the time to sit down and actually draw, and to be honest I was kind of frightened to start with the jacket which seemed really complicated! First I was very excited and I finished up with the face and the hair and then I didn't do anything with this piece for about two months. I realized it wasn't going to get done by itself and I decided to do my best to get it done. Once I start drawing I could just sit there for ten hours drawing. Time flies incredibly fast like that! It's so much fun and I really enjoy it.

This drawing was a gift for my cousin, and it was ment to be a surprise, but..I had told my brother, who knew I was drawing this, not to tell the cousin about this. Well, he didn't, but the cousin saw the sketch in my room and made my brother promise him not to tell me that he had seen this. Well, my brother told me because he had promised me first not to tell him. haha! Then when I finally gave the final work to him, he was pretending to be very surprised and I was like I didn't know that he knew. It was really funny, because almost everyone knew about it, but still we pretended like no one knew about it. He still doesn't know that I know that he had seen this before it was done! At least yet.. :D

Sketching Is Like Running Free

 
2011
 
When I captured this moment on my phone I felt so glad and happy. I looked at the photograph and I smiled, I showed the photo to the girls and they smiled and giggled. We were at our theatre rehearsal, practising for the upcoming show. So much caring, so much friendship.

About these two sketches..both of them I made of photos of my friends. It's almost ironic because the first one I drew when I was in the US and she was in Finland and the other one I drew after my year in the US when I was back in Finland and he was in the US. I believe they have no idea about these sketches so if you two happen to see your face here, well..yep it is your face hahaha. I love it how I have all these weird funny faces on my phone of people who have wanted to "fatify" or "oldify" their faces. Thank the earth for cameras and such little big joys!
 
Oh and that man on the background is some man sitting at a coffee shop and his back of the neck looked awesome soo I awkwardly imperceptibly tried to understand its greatness.

Talk And Talk - Don't Speak

Passion for life, passion to live. Honest desire, but lack of strength to deal with it, to find answers.
Should there even be an answer, should it be forgotten.
Living full speed might be an answer, a way to escape. Laugh, cry, smile, shout. Does it give you peace, does it make you satisfied.
Do we blame others for our own misery. Who told you how to have the truth, how to own it.
Everyone talked yet no one spoke. Someone sighed while someone approved. Can't we face ourselves. Could we understand if someone explained.
Could we trust.

Everybody yawn now!

Can't you sleep? Do you feel tired, but your mind just won't let you sleep? Do you want a solution to this all time problem? Open the Internet, write yawning on Google search and look for photos. Scroll down the page and find yourself suddenly yawning. Even a yawning seal will make you yawn. You'll see.  



  





No? You say you didn't yawn? Try again.
