Dreaming out loud

So I mentioned in my previous post that living in a foreign country can sometimes be pretty overwhelming.  Although there are a lot of things I appreciate here, sometimes I find myself feeling frustrated and helpless.

Anyways, art has always been some sort of release for me.  Feeling like I created something that's entirely my own is a really good feeling, and a relaxing way for me to let out any anxiety from the day.  Sadly I haven't been doing as much art since I moved here which is partly why I wanted to make this blog.  Making cakes, drawing, painting, sculpting with clay..any sort of art is fine by me.

I was in the train listening to an album by one republic and noticed the title in my little screen. The album is called "dreaming out loud" I just started imagining some stuff and wanted to put it on paper.  I used the same face from the sketch I did in the previous post and changed it a bit.

I don't think it's quite finished though..there are a few more things I want to add...
Have a nice and stress-free day.

Love, li

Life in a foreign country.

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed living here I have to remind myself to close my eyes and breath...
