Lighane's Artblog

Hi, I'm Lisa - welcome to my personal artblog! :-)

What's your love language?

I just found out about the "Five Love Languages" discovered by Gary Chapman. It really helped me to understand which love languages the people in my life and I myself are speaking. We all have different ways to express our love and assume that others feel and love the same way as we do - this can lead to many difficulties and missunderstandings. You have a first and a second love language. For me it's most important to spend much quality time together with the ones I love and to give and receive unexpected gifts that meet my character like my favorite brand of chocolate or a special songtext. <3

Did you know that the people affecting us in our lives are mirror images of ourselves? Of course, there are the good ones like our personal role models, the bad ones that trigger our dark side and the ones who seem to just be exactly like us, so we don't feel the urge to change in any way! My husband and I, for example, have the same age, one younger sibling and it was also the first relationship for each of us! We met on a birthday party 11 years ago - he was writing stories, I was drawing and so we found that we complemented each other perfectly in order to create a manga! xD What about your mirror images?

To let go doesn't mean that you forget or lose something or someone. It just means that you are finally prepared to accept it as a memory which you can leave to the stream of time. Because that's where it belongs and you can move on. To accept and leave the past behind is one of the hardest things to do for me just in case you wonder what all my recent postings are about. Putting my thoughts and feelings into art helps me a lot and I also hope it can be of help for you! <3

We tend to conceal our feelings because we are afraid of getting hurt. The stronger our feelings are the bigger is our fear. However, fear is just like black dust that fills our heart and it can be easily blown away. The fear of being honest with your feelings is nothing compared to the pain that will follow - believe me! It will leave deep wounds in your heart which might take a lifetime to be cured! So, talk to each other, to your loved one about your feelings - it will help! <3

[lighane]

When you looked at me I didn't see the love in your eyes as I was convinced I could never be enough for you... the truth was that I could not be enough for me. Sometimes we are too busy to find out what's wrong with us that we don't even realize the ones who are already waiting for us to let them in!

What I want to say is that we must learn not to shy away from the people who seem to pull us away in the first place - many of them are also afraid of getting hurt!

[lighane]

Love is like a flower that can only grow where we open ourselves emotionally. And yet it almost has become a sin to show our feelings in the public. No wonder that our world appears kind of cold and colorless as long as we are being told to keep our emotions within! Don't be afraid of what you feel and share your thoughts - they need to be heard in order to make the world a warmer place! <3

[lighane]

I've just finished the first three eye pieces! There will be more to come, of course! I was just amazed by your wonderful pics and it was hard to decide where to start! <3 So these beauties are from bottom to top: Natasha Reeves, LovelyLiar and fabledunicorn. I love this possibility of interacting that way with you and really can't wait to draw more of you guys! <3

"The hardest thing in this world is to live in it!" Ever since I was 14 Buffy was my heroine. Her character gave me power and inspiration whenever I felt bad. She was a role model to me and she still is. <3 You all, too, gave me so much strength when I felt down yesterday and I really wanted to thank you and share my passion with you! Now, do you have a special someone, rolemodel or passion that gives you power and inspires you? :)

[lighane]

To find out what Super Villain you are just combine your: favorite color + favorite animal + gender and tell me the result! <3

So I am the "Light Pink Pomeranian Girl" And I guess I have some Pom Poms to fight with! xD

[lighane]

Like some of you already know - I am totally addicted to white chocolate! xD So I thought it was about time to share my favorite yummy and still healthy cookie recipe with you! <3 Try it out if you have time and crave some Netflix-snack! Hope you like it as much as little Pom Yumi! Go ahead and ask me if you have any questions :)

At first you just feel hurt as you don't understand... Then slowly the pain comes before you burst into tears and feel that your heart is broken. Our hearts must be really strong as they can break a thousand times for many differnet reasons and still keep us alive... it's amazing! Please don't feel intimidated by these serious thoughts, it was just a thing that came to me today which I wanted to share with you :)

[lighane]

It's time for another Etsy Sale! I have reduced all of my coloring tutorials and original drawings by 50% and enabled some nice black and white commissions for you! Why? Just because! xD If you are interested in some goodies head over here: www.etsy.com/shop/LighanesClayArt

Hey lovelies! I wish you an enchanted start into the week... or at least a not so though one! xD Have a Mermaid Belle to brighten up your day <3<3 I really miss some good new games and shows... something that brings us all together. What are you into right now?

[lighane]

Isn't he debonair? xD I was thinking about what to draw to get an idea of my new colored pencils from arteza.com best. And after a while little Pigasus came to my mind. :)

I realized how I missed working with colored pencils only and it was great to test them. The thing I liked most is that there is very little smearing which makes coloring so much easier. <3

Oh yes, and today they also sent me the coupon code "lighanesartblog1" for 10% off on all items on arteza.com and arteza.co.uk. Feel free to use it to stock up on art supplies! <3

Pigasus over xD

Anyone else hyped for the new Dragon Quest? I am so in love with Jade! <3 Sadly I'll have to wait a little longer for the Switch version. Do you have a favorite Dragon Quest character?

[lighane]

Remember Alvin and the Chipmunks? I mean the old cartoon show, of course! I really loved it when I was a kid. My favorite was Jeanette so I reserved her a slot at "Lighane's Hall of Fame" xDD Who did you like most?
