I never wanted to draw. I never thought about drawing. I always envy people who made good art*. 

Once upon a time, there was a program called photoshop on my computer. I barely used it, only to restore old photos and other minor editing. Nothing advanced. One day, I decided to experiment and explore the program a bit more. I wanted to create something, something to be proud over. A piece of work you've spent a lot of time to create. I started to watch some space themed tutorials on youtube and other websites. It sure took some time. But later on, I created my very first planet in space. It didn't look professional, but I was proud (sort of). I continued and ended up with a picture like the one below. This is when I started to create

Space



Castle
After trying out creating space themed art, I tried some photo manipulation. But I only made one piece (I can't remember if I made something else). I really like the "yellowish" colour on this one



Monsters
Later on, I tried using the pen tool in photoshop. It was really weird and it felt like I was on a spaceship with unknown functions. This is when I started to make vector art. I started out with tracing small pictures to learn how to use the tool. Then I started to create my own art. Simplicity is what I went for. Clean and simple. Since I am really bad with details, I decided to keep it really simple while it still looked appealing to me.



Dango
Once I started with vector art, I made several art pieces. It was hard to stop, I had so many ideas. Some pieces I haven't finished yet. It was fun



Hourglass
Some of my art in my gallery was made when I felt good or sometimes bad. We all have good and bad days ^_^



This is my latest work. Made in April. Haven't made anything since then. We could say that I got this thing called "art block"? Or my creativity just went swimming in the bottom of the ocean. Whenever I start photoshop to make something, I close it. I nearly didn't finish this art piece below. I'm not sad or depressed, It's just hard to create something (=

Since I'm writing so much already.... Short life update.
I've been trying to find a job for a year, but with no luck. I had 2 internships though. One that I left and one I enjoyed. Next month I'm going to start school. I'm going to become a "teacher". The education lasts fir three years.

And I would like to thank some people for making dA such a great experience for me. I haven't talked to some of you for a very long time. But you deserve to be in the list since you're all awesome in your own unique way. I'm always open for new conversations with everyone! I hope I didn't forget someone:

Thank you for reading

Have a nice day


*Any art can be good. It's just your personal opinion that decides if it's good or not. "Bad" art can be good art for someone else

lycka till c:
jag tog en paus helt enkelt. men jag har ansökt arbetstillstånd (national insurance number). så jag kanske stannar och jobbar i england
söka jobb i sverige känns väldigt hopplöst ibland. jag förlorade iaf motivationen snabbt. ingen support what so ever

men jag är en lone wolf, satteh...

Your struggle to find work really hits home with me. I've been looking for a part time job for a year now. I wish you well with school! Also, thank you so much for the mention. Made my day!

Thank you!

Problem with finding a job really sucks. I thought I had one before, but the employer completely ignored me. He never answered to my mails or anything else. I applied to school so I would have a second way out. There is a very high demand of preschool teachers now here in Sweden, so I hope I get a job after school (=

I wish everything works out well for you
