“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. It’s what sunflowers do." - Helen Keller
I had the greatest need to have a hug couple of months ago, I was all alone in my apartment and I couldn’t meet my friends, siblings or parents at all because of the corona isolation. I felt so lonely and sad back then so I decided to do some sketching (I really had to put my feelings on paper) and voilà!
I’m so happy with the result even though I almost lost my mind while colouring the flowers (I really dislike doing backgrounds, especially repetitive ones). So that’s why it took so long to get this art piece done but I think it was definitely worth it! And I’m feeling a lot better now too : 3

“Claus & Lucas, the Sunflower Twins”
A slightly older sketch I decided to colour for the celebration of my mum’s birthday. She always loves the drawings I make despite her lack of knowledge about the series I usually draw fan art from. I haven’t drawn or coloured anything for her in ages so now I thought I definitely should, since I’ve had quite a lot free time due the current situation of the world.
I still hate drawing backgrounds though, so I must apologise the boring, blurred mess I created this time.. Well, this was meant to be a bit more simple piece after all, so I guess it’s good enough.
(And I know that the stripes on Claus’ shirt are more blueish tinted, cyan coloured to be exact, but I just didn’t feel to correct the mistake.)

“Anything could come true, as long as we prayed from the bottom of our hearts.”
I was feeling very sad and anxious a little while ago, so I ended up drawing this. I feel much better now though, so there’s no need to worry!
Right now I’m just experiencing frustration because this didn’t end up the way I actually imagined it to be and I wasted so much time on trying different things and nothing seemed to please me in the end.. and I actually started to dislike this at some point, mostly because I know that I can do better than this.
Also, I think this is not a surprise for any of you, but I really do have hard feelings for drawing backgrounds. I know it’s necessary if you want to improve your artwork and skills but I just find background drawing remarkably tiresome. But for now, case closed.
