5 Types of People at New Year’s

Posted on by maya

hi-guys

I hope you’re all  enjoying the holiday season! Personally, I had all these plans to be super productive but so far have just been eating a lot of chocolate and accomplishing little else. Though I mean, is it even the holidays if you don’t spend 90% of the time watching Netflix and 10% of the time regretting all the time you’ve wasted?

That being said, in between my excessive consumption of ferrero rochers and  candy canes (because I’m classy, but I’m also like five), I did manage to put together this little end-of-2016 post for you guys. Though naturally, I procrastinated as per usual and waited until the very last day of the year to finish it ;). Let me know in the comments below what type of person you are on New Year’s Eve – because clearly everyone in our society falls into one of these 5 categories ;).

Hope you all have an amazing New Year! Of course, being the social butterfly that I am, I’ll be spending tonight hanging out with my family in my pajamas, struggling to stay up till 12a.m. Do you guys have any more exciting plans?

Now, without further ado, here are 5  types of people you’ll see at new years…

1. The Party Animal

This is the person who’s biggest challenge of 2016 is going to be deciding which party to attend on December 31st, followed by which shoes go with their sequins-covered dress. And I’m not going to lie – I’m basically the total opposite of this person, but I know they exist because these people document everything on social media. In fact, I don’t even feel like I need to go to parties because after a few minutes scrolling down my facebook timeline – I feel like I’ve been to all of them.

2. The ‘New Year, New Me’ Guy

We all know that one person that come January 1st, just feels a sudden urge to reinvent themselves completely – and tell everyone about it. Now we’re all guilty of coming up with one or two delusional new years resolutions – but these people just take it to the next level. Because let’s be honest, we both know that you won’t be getting fit, eating healthy and learning to speak mandarin chinese… You know why? Because you say this every year, and it never happens. So stop with this ‘turn over a new leaf’ nonsense and come over here and enjoy this pizza like the rest of us.

 

3. The TV Friend

This is the friend who’s spending New Year’s Eve in their room, with some snacks, watching the New Year’s celebrations happening around the world on TV. Their thinking is,’who needs to go outside, when you can see the fireworks on your screen?’ And actually, I feel like this person may be on to something… food, comfort, wi-fi? What better way to ring in the new year.

4. Clueless Chloe

new-years-3b

Okay, first off if you’re reading this and your name is Chloe, please don’t be offended I was just stuck for a title and needed some  kind of alliteration. Anyway, this is the person that just has no idea that it’s New Years Eve, and to be honest they probably don’t know even know what year it is at all. The rest of us will be doing the whole count down till midnight thing and they’re probably sitting somewhere with an old advent calendar counting down the days till last Christmas.

5.The Sleepyhead

And finally, everyone knows the one rule of New Year’s Eve is to stay up till midnight. But, without fail, there’s always that one person who – every year – just falls asleep at like 10p.m. and wakes up the next morning all confused they missed the fireworks!

Some Sketches

Posted on by maya

hey

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any of my artwork, so I thought today I’d share a few of my most recent sketches with you guys! I drew these with my HUION Graphics Tablet using a digital painting application called Krita. I usually do these sketches in 4 steps/layers. First I draw a quick ‘skeleton’ of my sketch in a light colour, then I fill out the skeleton in the same light colour. Next I outline the whole sketch in black and finally, I colour it in.  Let me know what you guys think in the comments below and which sketch is your favourite! If you want to see more of my drawings and paintings, check out my Artwork page.

Featured Artists

Posted on by maya

Being an aspiring artist myself, I know how hard it is to get your work noticed! So, last week I invited artists to send me their artwork for a chance to be featured on my blog. Firstly, I’d like to say a huge thank you to ALL the artists who sent in their art! I received loads of incredible submissions and narrowing them down to five pieces was really tough. However, after much debate, I finally chose five fantastic works that definitely deserve to be showcased. I also included a link to each artist’s site, so make sure to check them out!

I love the way Isabelle used soft pastel colours to create a delicate, porcelain-like effect for this piece. It’s really beautiful!

Time Machine

Photographer: Yasmeen Noelle

‘Time Machine’ is a perfect example of classic black and white photography. I’d love to have this hanging up on my wall!

frog

Drawing animals is really tricky, but Molly truly managed to realistically capture this vibrant little frog.

Wander

‘Wander’ is another unique piece,  combining abstract art with a touch of detail here and there.

Decisions

Artist: Dawn Lomako

Blog: Brushofdawn.wordpress.com

Another great piece. As soon as I saw this painting, the contrast between the dark colours and bright red immediately caught me eye!
