a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

Hello dear readers! In this post, I'll show you how to get creative with fashion illustration by decorating it with scraps you can find at your home, such as golden fold from candy or chocolate wraps. The fashion illustration that I'm sharing today was inspired was a runaway look. I can't, for the life of me, remember the runaway look that was the inspiration behind this fashion illustration of mine.

In the end, we should be the ones who know ourselves best.  We should learn when it is time to push ourselves harder and when it is time to take it easy. One thing that I’m certain of is that you can’t improve your skills unless you work on them.  NO PAIN, NO GAIN STILL APPLIES TO MAKING ART BUT DON'T TAKE IT LITERALLY,  LEARN TO TAKE BREAKS TO AVOID INJURIN...
