colourful flowers & classroom doodles.

Recently, I found myself sitting in a classroom with a piece of scrap paper near by. 

                 So naturally, I decided to doodle.

I always find myself drawing either faces or flowers, but I can never take them seriously.       I enjoy making characters look cartoon-esque and colouring in flowers in bright highlighter shades. 

I find that there's something fun about doodling aimlessly, there's no deadlines or specific thing you need to draw. You just draw. You just be creative and draw something! 

I have a school planner full of doodles and people often ask me if they can look through it.

 It makes me sad when I hear people say "I wish I could draw!", because what's stopping you? 

It's easy to pick up a pencil and paper and just draw! It's a great way to express your creativity and use your imagination. It's just about enjoying yourself.

BE CREATIVE!

Peace out girl scouts,

Skull Sketches - Mexican Day of the Dead Inspired

I love the ideas surrounding 'Day of the Dead'. It's a Mexican celebration in which people remember family and friends who have passed away. Instead of being a miserable and mournful festival, it's bright and colourful! 

I love the candy skull patterns, they are so beautiful yet very simplistic.

In art class, we are studying the culture, so I thought I would post my drawings.

Skull Sketch-
Made using a 3B pencil.

   I am really happy with this sketch. I love how the flowers sit in the eye-sockets of the skull.

What do you think of my sketches? Do you like the candy skull patterns too?

An Introduction.

Hi.
My name is Fran and I created this blog to showcase my artwork. 
I've been interested in art since a very young age and I've recently taken to painting quirky 'tumblr-esque' characters. I get my inspiration from many different places such as magazines/books (I read teen vogue and lots of books), music (I listen to all different genres) and the internet in general.
This blog is generally going to remain anonymous. I made this decision because I want people to focus on my artwork rather than who I am, but my personality will definitely come across in my artwork and blog posts.
I am planning to fill this blog with my artwork, inspirations and the occasional rant, so stay tuned for more.

Thanks for visiting! =^-^=
