So here's a self portrait I did,
The words in the background are from some song which I can't recall the name of

New Art: Curiosity

Hello~
Yesterday I finished a piece which I started earlier in the week- which was mildly inspired by the work of Audrey Kawasaki (the fish, at least).
It's my attempt at more collage-like works, where I draw the main components on good marker paper, and then cut the out and paste them onto textured/interestingly colored backgrounds. With marker I've found that it's difficult to create good looking backgrounds, and plus there's always the chance of the marker bleeding and ruining the drawing.
If you aren't familiar with marker being used as a medium, it's not the traditional "crayola" marker or something like that. The ones I use (Copics), are an alcohol marker, and the colors are absolutely beautiful and they give a somewhat water color-like effect, which I love.
The drawing
I am quite happy with how it turned out- I especially love the fish.
I hope you (possible) readers out there like it~

Hello!

Hello everyone~
I have decided to create this blog in order to speak about interests which I have which don't really fit into my beauty/fashion blog {link to it}. I assume that the subscribers which I have there won't be as interested in posts about books which I have recently read, so I figured I would make a separate blog for such interests so I won't have a bunch of comment-less posts on my other blog~
On here, I plan on posting about books (reviews of them and such), art (both my own, and inspiration), and possibly cooking (though I don't have as much time as I would like in order to cook)

Some info about my self: my name (well, pen name) is Sakura, I am currently a student, and I really love to read and write. In the past two years or so, I've become more passionate about drawing, and I do that quite often. 
I don't know what else one is supposed to write in a self introduction, so for now, ciao~
