My Cat Is Always Sweet To Me :3

I found this in the internet, isn’t  this picture great?

This is the sunset that was yesterday in front of me.

I'm glad that I took a photo of it. I mean, look how beautiful this is! >.<

And because I drew it with nothing but a mouse, it turned out fine, right? Right...? Ri...ght?...............

I don't know .. xD

I'm not a professional, so don't expect that my sketches look pretty, but I post it anyway ‘cause it’s fun! xD

First of all, thank you very much for your great efforts and your many tips. I take everything you wrote very close to my heart, thank you very much. I've already tried to paint with watercolors, but everything is always vague, as you said, because I just didn't have the right paper for it. So I’m going to buy myself a real watercolor sketchbook. I already have brushes and all that stuff, but they are so worn out that I will probably have to buy new ones. I also love to just start drawing in my old little sketchbook without knowing what you are actually doing and at some point a nice drawing will come out. I have already painted a lot on canvas with acrylics and have often oriented myself on videos.

So this thing with Bob Ross or other artists that I can orientate myself on is a very good idea. I often look on the internet to see what I could paint and sometimes I watch videos. I didn't know Bob Ross then, so thank you for this :].

I also got the idea to paint with ink. Not necessarily with colored, but with normal black one. I still have a lot of them.

I also look for the tablet, I don't want to spend that much money because I have to try myself out. (If you know what I mean ;) ) But I'll definitely take a look at this Samsug tablet, because I've already heard that it is supposed to be very good. Thank you in any case, you really helped me a lot. I really appreciate that you made every effort to help me.

Of course you helped not only me, but also many others.

THANK YOU :3

Have an amazing day!

Ellie  ^ ^

Addendum: Actually, my mom just came to my house and told me that she knows Bob Ross. Unfortunately not personally, hehe ;3 But just now I did understand how famous he actually is. HAHAHA, well now I know him too, so.. ;D

Does anyone have any tips for my drawing dream?

Hey you out there :^

I would like to practice my hobby of painting even more than I already do. I love to paint with pen and paper in my old little sketchbook, but I would like to do more now. I would like to paint as beautifully as, for example, heikala or snakequeen7 do it. (I follow them here on Tumblr - what you people are invited to do as well, they paint really magically beautiful ^^) I generally sketch very messy and with a lot of lines and strokes. I have read that Heikala also uses colored ink for painting instead of watercolors. That’s very smart and I think I’ll give it a try. I’m also thinking about starting to paint on a tablet. Because as I said, since I sketch very “messy” it might help to draw on a tablet with a special app and an electronic pencil (idk how that thingies are called :] ), where I can also use special color effects, etc. How do you see it? Do you have any tips and tricks for me? With drawings you simply bring a piece of your imagination to life - you make it a little more realistic. And I would love to be able to do it as well as many guys like me who like to paint and draw in their free time.

Have a wonderful day

dreamy winter ❄

I love to hike through this beautiful landscape. Through the snowy forest, past the frozen lake over the white fields with a beautiful sky above. You cannot stop nature in all its beauty. She's unpredictable ...

O dear!

I haven't posted things in a while now, simply because I'm very busy at the moment. Now that the new year has started, my studies have also started and I have to study a lot. In the bookshop I work in, which is down in the valley in the small village, I also have a lot to do at the moment.

Please forgive me :) I'm still active on Tumblr so don't worry

In my free time I'm currently reading a lot about astronomy and stars and herbalism. Or rather, about healing herbs, oils and elixirs. I am very interested in this. I'm reading also a lot about psychology right now.

In general, I just read a lot. xD

Have a wonderful day Ellie :>

Once when I was a little kid I ran away. Far away in the mystical nature on a late summer's day. In the deep and big forest. Because at that time I was a little child and the nature around me was so big, I could sit on the mushrooms. I got as far as the old lake, which was a great achievement for my little legs. I fell asleep there after I was so exhausted and when I woke up I saw my mom in front of me. She wasn't sad or angry, she just smiled at me, kissed my forehead and gave me a tight hug and we went home. Sometimes my mom reminds me a bit of a witch ... But of a good one ':)

I love Aurora's music♥

It's just so thoughtful and dreamy - and I love to think and to dream. Sometimes I get lost in thoughts and dreams...

This is also one of my all-time favorite melodys and songs...

You should listen to it!

Nobody actually knows, why she’s always looking into the distance like that... :]

Gifts, gifts and more gifts - ’cause we’re just before Christmas ☃

The time to search for gifts begins. I really want to give all my friends and a little gift for Christmas. I love giving gifts. I just like the excitement of choosing something nice or funny and someone and giving it to them as a present. I'm always so excited whether the person likes it or not and you just try to give them a feeling of appreciation with the gift and make them smile. When you give gifts you always show the appreciation you have for this person and that you have thought of them - for example that you have thought about what this person might like and then made the effort to find something convenient. Even if it's just a very, very small gift. It always means a lot to me when someone makes the effort to give me a little present and thinks about what I might like. For example, my pen friend recently gave me a small pendant with the pearls in the colors of the Hogwarts houses as a small pre-Christmas present. She wrote to me in the letter that I could attach it to my cell phone. I was so happy about it. My pen pal is a real artist and we're both really love the Harry Potter stories. We're both in the same Hogwarts house, too. We're two ambitious and cunning Slytherins.I could tell for hours why I feel so comfortable there, but I would probably never come to an end ;D Anyway, I think it's great that my pen pal has made something so beautiful for me with such fine craftsmanship. Above all, it also has this emotional value - that we both love these Harry Potter stories so much. We love to talk about it. I will definitely make something nice for her too. Something very special. I want you to be at least as happy as I was happy about your gift. Just like with my friends here. At the beginning of the weekend I will go to the Christmas market in town and look for little winter delicacies and christmassy things that I could buy. But I'm sure I also make something or paint. I already have so many ideas! Besides I would like to give my family something very special! Because they always try so hard to give me a nice present - and that's exactly what I want to do too for them. I will definitely do something nice for them. I like to do handicrafts. I am looking forward to christmas. The more I write about it, the more I get Christmas mood! However, the thoughts of my grandma still cloud me. I miss her so much. She would actually have been with me at Christmas. Because of this, I'll probably not get into the Christmas mood like i was in the last years. My thoughts are with her so often. How I would love to hug her. Ugh ......;<

Anyway, I hope you have a beautiful Christmas time. Ellie:>

Studying is always hard - but I want to do my best before Christmas - we can do that!
