Sorry for the bad quality.

What I do in French Class

What time is it? Adventure Time!

Meet my Adventure Time OC, Faye the Shapeshifter :D

Sketches done on iPad

Longing

Every time I see a plane

It makes me think of you

Every time I see it flying across the sky

I wish I could be on it

And make my way to you

But instead I am trapped on the other side of the world

Missing you every second, every minute, every hour of every day

Chained to my side of the world

While you are chained to yours

And I wish I could be free

So I could fly across the sky

All the way to you

Sorry for the bad quality.

Do It Like Arnold Böcklin

The last week of school, my AP Studio Art teacher gave me the task to take an already existing piece of art and change it up somehow. I chose Arnold Böcklin's self-portrait, which shows him with Death playing the fiddle by his side. I don't know why but Böcklin's self-portrait just fascinated me. As mentioned in a previous post, I am fascinated with Death. Not suicidal, just fascinated. It's a mystery no one will ever solve. I believe that for some reason Death is our friend, not our enemy. He is the most loyal friend we will ever have. All throughout our life will he be by our side and watch us. Life will leave eventually and when it does, Death will take your hand and lead you into eternity.

My version

BOOM

I've been having a lot of headaches lately. There's too much on my mind. The problem is: I can't get the things off my mind. I keep thinking and thinking and overthinking. It hurts my head. There's not enough space for all those thoughts. My head's too small. It's gonna explode sooner or later. And if that happens, you don't want to be close to me. Not because of the nastiness of a head exploding but you may get some of my weirdness on you. And you wouldn't want that, would you?

L

To Shake Hands with Death

I want to know what it's like to die. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suicidal or anything. I'm just really interested in what it would be like. As in, do you see your life flashing before your eyes like a movie? Or does everything just go black? Or is there a light you go to? Or does Death take your hand and lead you into nothingness?
If I could, I would want to die. But not permanently. I would want to die and come back to life, so I would know what it would be like. And then, if people asked me, I would know the answer.

Silently Fighting

I can't speak. My lips are sealed. My thoughts are overflowing but they can't come out. No sound leaves my mouth. The thoughts are fighting to become words. But they can't leave. My lips won't speak. The thoughts are screaming, shouting, fighting. But my lips don't give in. I stay silent but in my head I'm screaming, crying. But how would anyone know? They can't look inside my head.

Mornings at the Pool

You may or may not know that I'm a swimmer and although swim season with school has ended, a few others and I still go swimming three times a week in the mornings before school. Sometimes under certain circumstances I'm unable to get in the pool so I just sit next to it and watch the others. And then a thought occurred to me. Since I had to draw in my sketchbook for AP Art anyways, I thought I might as well do something with the time I spend sitting next to the pool watching the others.

"The World Through My Eyes"

We're having a Fine Arts Festival this friday at my school. There are others schools coming to participate as well and our art teacher said that everyone from TIS (my school) who was participating had to create a piece of art to put in a gallery to show the other schools. The theme was "The World Through My Eyes" and you could use whatever media you wanted.
The first time she told me that, an idea immediately popped into my head. It was a globe separated into two parts: one side was dark and wasteland, the other colorful and full of rainbows and unicorns. And in the background was a person with the globe in his hands, smiling. Kind of like an all-controlling mind so to say, who sees the world as his playground and he can do whatever he wants to it.
But then I thought that it may be a bit sinister, so I tried to think of something else. Then I thought, "What if I draw a picture seen from my perspective?" As in, the viewer sees through my eyes and ahead of him would be a path disappearing in the distance and there would be a rainbow in the sky and everything was colorful and stuff. But then I couldn't think of enough things to fill the picture with so I thought, "I'm short, so what if I draw a bunch of shadows of people in front of me, obscuring my view?"
And then I had it. The perfect idea. It was me, on top of the world, sitting on a throne with a crown on my head, as the ruler of the world. And that's how this came to be:

My Way Of Showing Affection

I have a weird way of showing affection. I don't give compliments or praise my... "significant other".  Most of the time I tell him that he is stupid or that he sucks. But while my mouth says one thing, my body says another. I love hugging him. So when I tell him that he sucks, he knows I don't mean it. In my world, the meaner I am to him, the more I actually like him.
But a few days ago, I thought that I should give him a compliment for once since I never do that. So when I hugged him, I told him, "You're pretty awesome, you know." He just stared at me for a while before his lips turned into a huge smile. Then he said, "Thank you! That just made my day."
Maybe I should give him compliments more often. But then they wouldn't be special, right? So I will just stick to my way of showing affection and once in a while, I might give him a compliment.

You know how most couples call their sweethearts "honey", "sweetie", "baby" etc.?
Well, my sweetheart and I kind of have our own way of... conveying our love? We came up with our own nicknames for each other. I call him Heater. Because when I'm cold, I hug him and he warms me up. I also called him Baldie once, because he cut his hair pretty short. And according to him, I'm a leech because I never want to let go of him. Or a jacket holder. Lovely, isn't it? 
I think that's one of the things that makes us awesome. Because there are so many, you know :p

PDA

PDA means Public Displays of Affection such as hugging, holding hands, and kissing.
I am quite fond of hugging people and being hugged. It's so nice. I wonder why schools don't allow PDA. Well, I know why. I wouldn't like it if people were making out on my locker but I accept hugging. Hugging isn't bad at all. Hugging is nice. So I wonder why my teacher always tells me to stop when he sees me hugging someone or being hugged.

Cheek-obsession

People love my cheeks. They pinch them, squeeze them, kiss them, caress them, and tell me how much they love them. It's quite nice actually, if they do it like my friend Alda. And then I think, this is how a dog or a cat or a rabbit must feel like when they are being pet by their owners. But then there are people like this one friend of mine, who just grabs my face and squeezes my cheeks as if I were this ball-thingy you can squeeze to release your stress. And yes, it hurts. But then there's Alda who is all gentle and that makes my cheeks feel all better.

Okay, I think that's enough talk of cheeks for today.

How To Fall Asleep According To Me

Hello there.
It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm really sorry about that but after my drawing challenge I didn't know what my new posts were gonna be about. Then I asked my friends for help and they said that I should just upload some of my sketches since this blog is about me being wannabe-artist. I thought about uploading sketches but then I looked at the title of my blog and it does say "The Uninteresting Life of a Wannabe-Artist". So, I thought instead of some sketches, I could upload some comics or doodles about my everyday-life. I will of course upload some of my sketches, too, if i deem them worthy of being shown to the world.
So today, I will tell you the easiest way to fall asleep (for me). And the answer is: my math teacher. I have no idea why. I can get 10 hours of sleep, be wide awake, come to her class, and fall asleep as soon as she starts the lesson. I think it's her voice. It just makes me go to sleep.

Day 30: A Congrats Banner For Finishing The Challenge

Finally! I finished it! And it took forever!
But here it is - the last Day for the challenge.
And that is a forced smile drawn on duct tape. Because I know I should be happy I finished the challenge but I feel like a failure because it took so long.
Well then enjoy :)

L

Day 29: A Place You Want To Go

I'm a failure. And one more day to go.
I've always wanted to go to Tokyo or Japan in general. Japan fascinates me. It just has a very interesting culture. I love all the traditional clothing and buildings and everything. It's very beautiful. And they have Ninjas and Samurai! I'm also a big fan of manga and anime and you may have noticed that I have a manga style of drawing. I can do realistic stuff too but drawing in a manga/cartoon-ish style is more fun and easier too.
Ah, I just love Japan. I've been wanting to go there since forever.

L

Enjoy :)

Day 28: Anything You'd Like

Oh wow I suck.
Something I'd like are superpowers. Because superpowers are awesome. Oh, you wanna know which powers I'd like? Okay, I'll tell you. So, first I want to fly like Superman does. And then I guess healing powers like Wolverine. And all the telepathic/telekinetic/mind-reading powers like Professor X.
The world would be so much more interesting if I had superpowers. Then I could wear an awesome costume.

Enjoy :)

Day 27: Someone You Love

Getting closer and closer to the end. 

So Day 27 was Someone I Love. And someone I love is my awesome friend Alda. (go check out her blog: Moments In Time)

When I moved to Albania in 2010 and went to my new school for the first time she was the first one to talk to me. She was my first friend here and I think things would've been very different if I hadn't met her. Even though she can be scary when she's in a bad mood, I love her very much :)

L

Enjoy :)

Day 26: Something You Don't Like

Okay, so now instead of giving you everything at once, I'll post the last few days on their own. I hope you don't mind.
And here we are, Day 26: Something You Don't Like. And the answer is: Spiders.
I absolutely do not like spiders. They're scary, have eight eyes, eight legs, and are just ew.
So, I think that's what Ron from Harry Potter and I have in common :)

Enjoy the yucky spider.

The Missing Days (part 3)

And the missing days continue. Sorry for taking so long.

Day 22: Something You Miss

Yes, I do miss drinkable tap water. I'm far too lazy to always be buying bottles of water to drink out of. I'd much rather just take a glass, fill it with tap water and drink it. I always do that when I go to Austria haha

Day 23: Something You Need

Yeah...

Day 24: A Couple

It's two people hugging :D

Now isn't that sweet.

Well then, enjoy :)

The Missing Days (part 2)

Even though I haven't been uploading since the internet in Capetown was so slow, I have been working on my Drawing Challenge. So I present to you part 2 of the Missing Days.

Day 16: Inspiration

This was a hard one. Seriously. I had no idea what to do. But then I thought about it and came to the conclusion that I get inspired by a lot of things. Names, places, things I see, things I hear. Just, like, everything.

-

Day 17: Favorite Plant

I love trees. And the reason I love trees is because I love to climb them. :)

-

Day 18: Just A Doodle

I was bored during Physics class.

-

Day 19: Something New

I bought this keychain in Capetown. It looks much prettier in real life but whatever. 

-

Day 20: Something Orange

Our XCountry Shirts :D

They're bright orange and they really stick out in a crowd of people. They're awesome.

-

Day 21: Something You Want

This! This is a pokémon called Reuniclus. And because my brother and I have always bought, like, every pokémon game, I got Pokémon Black Version. I had looked at the new pokémon available on the internet before I got the game, saw this one and I knew I had to have it on my team. So I got Pokémon Black Version but it never showed up anywhere. So I checked on the internet where to get it. And you know what it said? You can only get a Reuniclus in Pokémon White Version. BUT I WANT IT!

I hope you enjoy.
