Silhouette. | DBTC 38

It was that time of the week again, last saturday. The day to be creative in my everything-is-possible-you-just-have-to-try sketchbook. And this was another week of being rather happy with myself in the end.

I got the rough idea for this from a picture I saw on pinterest, but it ended up completely different. In the picture it was a wood palette, where the silhouette was outlined with black, which left the silhouette itself filled with the pattern of wood. I really liked the idea of doing a silhouette inside out, but I didn't want to do it on wood, as that couldn't go into my sketchbook when done.

So I did a thing with watercolor.

I put some colors together on the paper, smudged them around a bit, splattered some more color on and let it dry.
When it was dry, I drew the figure on and got my black paint out. After outlining the figure with a small brush first, I started to fill in the blanks with black. I left it to dry and I was ready to feel proud. It came out as I wanted it to and there is no better feeling then that. May or may not make another one or two. Different colours, different techniques, different faces, this excites me.

Have a nice life,

   the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant.
   We definitely added to his pile of good things."

Intern.

The new internship has started. This time I'll barely be at school for 5 months.

I'm an intern at a furnishing company in the marketing department to take care of everything graphic. My first week has given me excitement for the next 22. I can see myself walking around here as a part of the company. Pretty happy right now.

It is going to be a very busy period, though. I don't only work as an intern 40 hours a week, but I also have my usual job one day in the weekend and my last internship company offered me a job, which I will do in the evening hours after internship days. Not sure if this is a good idea and if it will work out, but only time will tell.

I'm excited.

Have a nice life,
Xoxo

Sziget '14 | 10-day journal.

>DISCLAIMER this is probably going to be a very long post. It is litterally going to be my diary from Sziget. I'm not expecting this to entertain you in any way. This is more just for me to look back to in some time. This blog makes it a bit more easy to find. So if you're not looking for a gigantic 11-day diary blog post, happily scroll along. Thank you, Love you Bye!<

Sziget 2014.

I think festivals are great. I went to my first full on (whole festival plus camping) festival last year with two friends and I loved it so much. I told myself I had to do this more. So this year I went to my second: Sziget Festival in Budapest.

Sziget Festival lasts 7 days and is held on Obudai Sziget (Sziget means Island in Hungarian) in the Donau. It doesn't only host some big music names but also has a lot of art shown over the whole island.

My musical favourited were, hands down, A Day To Remember, Bastille and Macklemore&Ryan Lewis. I enjoyed all those gigs greatly and they will be charished for a long, long time.
Jimmy Eat World was pretty fun as well and the little bit that I've seen and heard of Tom Odell was pretty damn good. On the last day I quite liked The Kooks and Calvin Harris, only I, sadly, wasn't able to see the big finaly with the fireworks.

The rest of the festival was greatly enjoyed as well. There was a lot to see ~for example the Luminarium a big balloon building you can walk through~, to do and to experience ~I bungee jumped~, there was great choice in food and the food was pretty damn good as well ~Zing Burgers are fantastically good~. The paying method they use here is quite handy, you get a pass you can charge money on and you just hold it in front of a scanner thing and you payed. The only things a not so cool about it were the charging, the lines usually were very long and the charging took quite some time, so you couldn't just 'go and charge your card' and it's a bit harder to keep up with what you payed and what's left on your card. Apart from that I loved it. Oh, and all the prices are Florint, so you do have to do the maths every time you want to buy something plus a lot of things in stands are only written in hungraian and a lot of the people working there aren't very good at english, so sometimes ordering something could be a little more challenging.

The festival is great. It's long, very long (7 days!!!!) (You can read about how tired I was here (you get a pack of Salted Caramel TimTams squished into your mailbox if you've read that whole blogpost) (Not really but I love you if you did)) But it's great. 

So much music, so many experiences. A lot of love from me. 90% would reccomend. ~You do have to be up for not too much sleep in a loud enviroment.~

Have a nice life,
Xoxo
