No mystery

Emotion of the fall
When the cold is creeping up the wall,
And the spirits of darkness surrounds us,
I close my eyes and breath,
As I reach out in pain I see,
There are those who never leave me,
No matter where I run,
No matter how I try to hide,
They follow me silently,
Never pushing me aside,
Flowing warm and full of life,
A feeling of happiness emerge,
Spreading inside my broken essence,
Giving me hope and peace,

Sometimes I wish I could follow my heart more
I would not be here,
If I would have followed my heart from the start,
I would not have faced the things I have faced,
Walked the paths that I've walked,
And seen the things I have seen,
Am I grateful?
Perhaps,
Do I regret it?
Perhaps,
All I know is that while I am here,
My heart wish it was somewhere,
All the way,
Over there,

Shadows
As the dust from the struggle clears and covers the ground a new path is born,
Into the mist in leads with promises of a better way and another life,
Exhausted and broken I stand with only my own life hidden in my hands,
Tempted I look into the distance where the road leads,
Lifting my precious fragile life close to my heart I whisper to the wind,
I do not dare,
Still my feet start to wander onto the misty road,
Shaking with fear I see myself taking a path I never thought I would take,

Scoooore!!
Or I mean hole in one.
Some time ago I was suppose to go golfing with my flatmate and two friends. So they went to meat me in front of my building. But because I am a bit slow they send my flatmate in to get me. The thing is that when he is in one elevator on his way up I’m already in the other elevator on my way down. A classic isn’t it? When he gets down again we both notice that we have forgotten to take our passports with us (we need them to get over the border from
After that little delay we finally manage to cross the border and go to the golfing area. When we walk inside to pay we notice that it is really quiet, too quiet. In fact there are no people around at all and then, we see a note with the opening hours. They closed 5 minutes before we got there. Unlucky I would say.
To still finish the evening with doing something fun we went to eat at a tapas restaurant in La Linea. The tapas were delicious and the finishing meat plate really finished us off. It was a mountain of meat and even though we were four people, three of us manly men, we could not finish it. Later when I got home tired and filled with meat I got inspired to draw this little picture.
Ps, The man on the picture is one of the employees at the golfing range that was playing after working hours.

On one dark day
....she asked the clouds to gather. By touching the sky with her hands she let the light gather above her head ready to let it spread over the world. For a moment, with the power bursting through her body tearing her human side asunder, she felt no fear and no remorse. In that moment she was ready to fight together with this world.
Some days ago I was really pissed over something (sorry can’t tell you the reason because it’s very personal). I was so angry I did not know what to do with myself. So I ended up in my bed with tears running down my face, drawing my anger away. Afterwards I dried my tears and looked at what I had created. Somehow my drawing is better when I am very emotional. I think I draw too much with my heart. It did however feel really good to take something bad like my anger and make it into something good. But even if this is one of my better pieces it can still get a lot better, especially my skill in drawing hands and feet. They are just so damn hard to draw.

Ah!! Evil lives in my mailbox

Yes you are right Kim...
It has been to long since my last update. The last couple of weeks a have tried to sketch at least 5 minutes every day. Although I have only sketched 5 minutes 4 days a week. Which is still pretty good compared to before.
My awesome friend gave me a awesome tip to a site where you can train your sketching abilities: http://www.posemaniacs.com/.
Among other things they give tips on how to draw fast and have pictures of humans i different poses. So this is what I have been training with the last couple of weeks. In the method I have been using they show a pose for 30 seconds and then they switch to another pose so you have to be quick. I am still pretty slow so I always skip the hands and feet. And for some reason it is always easier for me to draw women than men. It could be because I get distracted by all the manly muscles on the model. But hey, I am a straight young woman after all so things like this are out of my control.
I have now been practising for 4 weeks and I think I see a tiny, tiny improvement so far. Anyway here are some random pictures from my sketchbook from the last weeks. I hope that the next time I update the sketches will be better.
PS. Who is the lord of power? ANDNING! During one of my Taido lessons we learned that breathing in only through the left nostril makes you use the right half of the brain more and the other way around. And since you mostly use the right part of your brain while drawing I tried this trick and it actually made me sketch better. Sadly I can't remember which pictures a draw before and after this trick anymore so I can't show you.
