SELF PORTRAIT

I have never before thought of doing a self portrait, but today I came up with this idea very randomly. 

I didn't want to use a reference photo so I did it just by looking at myself in a mirror. It didn't take me much time, but honestly it was so much fun - way more than I expected! I might try to do this again soon.

It doesn't look too much like me and I wasn't going for a realistic look so I am satisfied with it. The background and its colour represent my state of mind.

Mediums used: tempera and ink.

BANKS PORTRAIT: GODDESS

Goddess, Banks' debut album is finally here - today is the release day! It is beautiful, definitely one of my favorite alums this year along with Ultraviolence, which is my definite favorite Lana Del Rey album so far.

Anyways! Back to Banks, the star of this post. As the name of her album says, she literally is a Goddess. Her voice is very beautiful, her lyrics left me speechless and it all sounds perfect. I totally recommend this album to everyone because it is such an allure. You can buy it on iTunes here, or get a hard copy here.
Banks is definitely an artist that I am very interested in seeing live because she is stunning, and I am without a doubt going to a gig of hers if she decides to tour in Macedonia (which of course I hope she does)
Here is my portrait of her,
Mediums used: graphite and ink.

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

LANA DEL REY PORTRAIT: ULTRAVIOLENCE

Lana Del Rey's album Ultraviolence is officially released today, and because of that I decided to do a new portrait of her. As a reference I took a really beautiful photo shot by Kurt Iswarienko for New York Times.
You can buy Ultraviolence on iTunes now by clicking here. iTunes sadly do not sell music in Macedonia so I can only get a hard copy of the album and I have already pre-ordered the deluxe box set. I am truly impatient to get it so I can listen to all the songs which I assume are breathtaking.

Hope you guys like it.
