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.

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!

Showing you my art pieces

Hey internet!

Ich habe zwar eine extra Seite dafür gestaltet, allerdings habe ich gemerkt, dass man auf den Blog-Seiten keine Kommentare hinterlassen kann. Aber weil ich ja sehr gerne wissen würde, was ihr denkt, stelle ich sie ab jetzt auf die My Art- Seite und mache Blog-Posts darüber. 

I know, I created an extra page for my art, but I just realized that you can´t comment on anything that´s on these pages. But I really want to know what you guys think, so I decided to post about my art on that page AND to create extra posts for you to tell me what you think from now on. 

Take care!

Drawing and Painting has been my passion for years now. When I start drawing or being creative in any way, I get kind of obsessed and can´t stop until it is done. Haha, do any of you know that feeling? :) 

I want to share some of the things I recently made.
For anyone who is interested: I use the faber castell Graphite set for my pencil drawings&co and for the colored pictures I use my amazing Prismacolor pencils that I got for christmas last year. I am in love with those! Seriously.. They are the best coloring pencils I have ever had and I love drawing with them! I am actually (almost, I am still practising) able to draw hyperrealistic. ❤

Enjoy!

    Dieses hier habe ich erst gestern Nacht (9. Januar 2015) fertig gestellt. Ich habe erst das Graphit Set von Faber castell benutzt um sein Gesicht zu skizzieren und es dann mit meinen Prismacolor Stiften ausgemalt. ich dachte, es wäre schön, wenn man sehen könnte, wie es entstanden ist, also habe ich ein .gif gemacht, auf dem man es sehen kann. Wie findet ihr es? :)
  
This is one I just finished yesterday night (January 9th, 2015). For this I first used my faber castell  Graphite set to Sketch his face and then colored it with my new amazing Prismacolor pencils. 
I thought it would be fun to see how I made it so I created a .gif that shows it.
What do you think of it?
