Self love

It's Valentines Day and I felt like doing a very simple water colour painting for the sake of self love! Everywhere I go I just see all that romantic stuff for couples... Completely wrong focus in my point of view! ;)

I'm really into water colours lately but there is not much time so I made it easy for myself:

1 colour

1 brush

And painting myself was ... a little bit strange. 

Seeing and painting my own features was like getting to know myself a little bit better.

An interesting experience after all.

I think, I will do this again after some time. It was fun and also a bit like a special kind of meditation.

Finally I made it to draw my boyfriend himself. 

I did that drawing in a rush, maybe that's why I'm not really comfortable with the result...

Sometimes I should stop being that perfectionistic ... ^^

Imran

Yes, again a present. :P

Imran is one of the closest friends I ever had, though he lives in London...

I thought I scan my work in different states of creating. 

I actually find this pretty interesting, looking at it after some time, seeing how it became a complete drawing.

I edited the scans because scanner and pencil aren't the greatest pairing. That's why some of the pictures have a darker background than others.

Maybe there're better ways of editing them without the whole picture becoming darker but yeah, I'm no professional concerning digital art. I prefer the good old paper-and-pencil-way (who would have guessed ;) )
