Showing you my art #3 ┃ the girl on fire...

Hey internet! :) 
I told you I had an assignment in my art class that I had to finish before I could draw anything else, and a few days ago.. I finished it!! :) Yaaayyy :D so happy about that. I mean, I really enjoy drawing. I really do. It is one of my favorite things to do. But somehow it is different when it is an assignment. I mean, then I HAVE to do it. Do you know that feeling? It is the same with playing an instrument. I love playing the piano. A lot. But when it comes to taking lessons again.. no. Because then I have to practise and I HAVE to play even when I I don´t want to. I do not enjoy things as much when I have to do them, even though they are one of my hobbies. It is weird. o.O ;D
Anyways, I wanted to show you what I drew for my art class.

The assignment:
Make an expressionistic self portrait, that shows one (or more) of your characteristics. 

That Doesn´t sound that hard, does it? And it is not. I mean, it is not hard to come up with ideas. I had plenty ideas. I had so many, that it was hard to decide what to do. But in the end, I did the one I liked the least, because it was the easiest. I didn´t quite know how to make most of the ideas I had.. :( That always happens to me.. I have a really really good idea and I can´t wait to do it, but I have no idea how.
Anyways, here it is:

The red - grey - orange - yellow cloud above my head is supposed to be an explosion, just in case you didn´t know. My mum didn´t.. :´( xD
Oh well, it is an expressionistic potrait anyways, so I guess everyone can read their own things into it.
What do you think; what did I want to express with that? :) Tell me in the comments below and I will tell you if you are right. haha
I sketched it with pencils and then colored it with my Prismacolor pencils. :) Love them.

Have a great rest of the day.

Art Journal #4 ┃ Depressed Boho - Queen

Hey internet!
Es ist schon etwas länger her, dass ich etwas aus meinem Art Journal hochgeladen habe. Deswegen wollte ich das heute mal wieder tun. Ich habe in letzter Zeit nicht ganz so viel mit meinem Art Journal gespielt, deswegen habe ich auch nicht so viel zu zeigen. ;)

It´s been a while since I uploaded something from my art journal. That´s why I wanted to do that again today! I haven´t been playing a lot with it, so I can´t show you that much today.. ;)

I am really obsessed with Boho chic and stuff like that at the moment. That is why I created this page, I just love how it looks. It is so beautiful and simple. :) 

I was feeling depressed when I made this, that is why it is so "dark" xD sorry for that. 

Yeah, that is pretty much it. Sad, huh? haha
Oh well, I have a lot going on at the moment so I Don´t have that much time for myself. But I am going to try to get more done in the future. :)
Hope you like it.
Have a great day,

xoxo, Anika

Showing you my art #2

Hey Internet!
I know I postet this one on my "my art" page already, but, like I told you before, I would love to know what you think of my drawings! Please tell me in the comments! <3 p="">So, this time I drew Cara Delvingne, the gorgeous model. I love her!!
Here it is:

It looks pretty yellow in this picture.. It must be the lighting because it is a little different in real life. ;) 

It is a Prismacolorpencil- drawing again, like the one I showed you last time (Dan Howell, aka danisnotonfire from YouTube). I really enjoy drawing with them, because they are so soft and you really can draw realistic with them. So, if you are looking for some good color pencils, I highly recommend getting those, you will love them!
I am planning on drawing a lot more hyperrealistic stuff, but right now I have to focus on my school project first. You know Expressionism? That is an art movement from 1905 - 1925, where artists expressed their Feelings and thoughts and emotions in an art piece. And what we have to do is a self Portrait, that describes us. So that is what I am doing right now. At least what I am trying to do, because I have an idea, but I just Don´t know how to do it. Well, we will see.
But yeah, I am planning on drawing more. The people I am going to draw next are probably Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf (both german TV stars). So I am looking forward to that and I can´t wait to finish my art class project and start!
Until then, take care!
xoxo, Anika

Art Journal #3

Hey internet!
I am not in school today because I am a little sick so I had time to create another page of my Art Journal. It is about reading. I love reading. Do you? What do you like to read?
I am going to make a Top10 or maybe even Top100 Book - list, since there are so many good books to read!
Anyways, this is my new Journal Page:

I hope you are having a great day! :) And that you are not sick like I am. 

Bye! 

Art Journal #2

Hey internet!
wie geht´s so?
Ich für meinen Teil hatte heute einen total entspannten Tag, nur 7 Stunden, dann zwar noch mal zum Zahnarzt um meine Zähne mal richtig reinigen zu lassen (jetzt fühlen sie sich aber auch total schön glatt an und ich glaube sie sehen sogar einen tick heller aus :D), aber dann war endlich Feierabend. Ohne Hausaufgaben oder lernen. Top! Jetzt sitze ich vor meinem Laptop, einen Kaffee daneben stehen, schreibe einen Blogpost und höre Disney Musik.
Jetzt aber zu meinem eigentlichen Thema: mein Art-Journal.
In letzter Zeit komme ich nicht so oft dazu, mich in dem Tagebuch auszutoben, deswegen sind es eher unspektakuläre Einträge.

how are you, guys?
I had a really relaxing day today, since school ended pretty early (I only had 7 classes today). After that, I only had another dentist appointment to get my teeth cleaned (now they feel sooooo smoooth it´s increadible and I actually think they are a bit whiter.. haha), but then I could finally call it a day.
I didn´t have any homework or studying to do! Yaay. Now I am writing my blog post while drinking caramel coffee and listening to disney music (of of my obsessions.. I just think it can be really relaxing and I love disney!)<3 .="" :d="" am="" are="" as="" disney="" i="" music="" nbsp="" obsessed="" p="" with="" you="">I really have to get to the point: my art - journal.
I haven´t been able to play with it a lot lately, that´s why the pages are a bit unspectacular, but here it is:


Diese Doppelseite habe ich vor ein paar Tagen gemacht. Ein paar inspirierende Worte, wenn man mal wieder diese Zeit hat, wo man überhaupt nicht mit sich zufrieden ist. :) Hilft ungemein!
Also, wenn du mal down bist, in den Spiegel schaust und einfach überhaupt nichts an dir schön finden kannst, wenn du das Gefühl hast, du bekommst nichts auf die Reihe, … dann nimm dir einfach mal Zeit für dicht selbst. Setzt dich hin, gehe in dich (und sei ehrlich mit dir!) und schreibe auf, was du an dir magst. Danach fühlst du dich sofort besser. <3 p="">
I made these pages a couple of days ago. I was feeling kind of down (you know, feeling self-concious, thinking you are not good enough, not pretty enough, that kinda stuff;), so I wrote down some inspirational word, some things that I love about me. That really helps a lot.
So, I recommend that, if you are ever feeling self-concious, if you look in the mirror and see someone you really do not like, when you feel like you can´t get anything done and if you are just not able to find something good in you, then take some time for yourself, sit down, do some soul-searching :D (and BE HONEST with yourself!) and write down what you really like about yourself. You are going to feel a lot better, I promise. <3 p="">
