today i was thinking on how it all started. all these stuff about drawing and blah blah. no actually i wasnt thinking about that, i think i was thinking about how i wanted to share sometimes my days by writing about them, and that i could do that on internet and i thought like hey! i could have a blog. and then i reminded... but hey, i DID HAD A BLOG.
yes, i had a blog. back in the teenage years. when i was in school and then... i sort of left it littl by little. just because life. i used to share things about my life, things i did, just the day by day, nothing that amazing. and today i got to the idea that maybe once in a while i could do that again. from time to time when i feel like sharing (when not hehe).
fun fact. the drawing stuff (and by that i mean, me drawing) started because i had all these posts on my blog and i felt like there was something missing to them. like something that could complement them. i think i got the idea to add drawings when i saw some other blogs that had too and i felt like heeey! i want this. and as im a bit perfeccionist i started to want to do it very well and then the rest is a bit of story (that i could talk more about again some day). drawing started as another way i felt like communicating that wasnt in words and it got to evolve into something more. life can be so mysterious.
today i felt like sharing something that i was thinking on doing but didnt in the end. the thing is, i try to practise yoga from time to time, just to keep the body healthy and stuff, and i wanted today try going to a park here in my town, where they offer yoga classes for a very small price.
but then i just didnt go because, even though it is in fact a small amount of money, i thought it was a bit irresponsible of me to go (because in the end its not just the money for the class but also the money to get there by bus, maybe eat something, and it all sums up) if i didnt had actual money to do so.
i really felt like going to this place because, even though i can do yoga at my house (i can watch videos and so, and i have the implementation to do it) i really wanted to go out and actually share with other people the moment. but i finally decided not to do so.
anyway. in the future i still have it in my plans, but i guess it wont be for the moment. i need a job, money and then, you know hehe.
but! even though i didnt go to this specific park to do yoga, i did go to a park near my house to draw some time. and it felt quite nice too. just a little cold.
thanks for reading, guys (:
This is my outfit from when I helped my friend painting her flat. I put on my 15 year old jeans that already lived through some painting sessions. Putting these on again felt kinda nostalgic. Do you also have some clothes that are 10+ years old?
This gave me an excuse to use different techniques and I will apply the things I’ve learned to other projects of mine.

Based off the Swaziland people. I'll come back to making a cleaner illustration (with a touch of lovecraft). I really like the head piece that they got. Makes me what to get red ink. #LeStrange #dereklestrange #lestrangeart #girl #traditionalart #pen #blackink #oldschoolart #swaziland #lovecraft #coachella #sketch #sketchpad #illustration #palmsprings #darkart #art #Ink #inked #mystic #noir #draw #journaldrawing #human #strength #penandink #universe #woman #fashion

Crossing Tower Bridge, Aug 2022
When we started, we didn't know we'd get this far. We weren't trying or planning or looking ahead to what it could be. We were simply living from one moment of joy and pain to the next, unraveling each other, layer after layer, to uncover the core components that make us us. Many days, many nights, mountains of rock and wave, cliff-side roads and bridges man-made, we've wandered, hand in hand, fingers interlaced.
