Life lately

 

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing great! In this side of the world summer is saying goodbye and a autumn is slowly showing up.

Summer is a good time to disconnect a little, catch up with reading and hobbies, take some time out to spend with friends. For me the best plan is going out to eat:)

I have been working less because with my pregnancy I am soo tired, I have never in my life sleep so much. When i am not sleeping, I keep working on coloring books, more products for my small shop, and also improving my drawing skills. I love to try new ways of illustrating (gouache, watercolors). I am always practicing in my sketchbook new characters or how to show a specific feeling for example. Practice is the key. You can see some of my sketchbooks here

I haven't been travelling as much as I wanted to because with my pregnancy I tried to stay close to home. It's coming to an end, I feel like I have been pregnant forever, it is incredible all the physical and emotional changes you go through. I am blessed that I could take time out to really enjoy it and rest.

I have been catching up with reading! I looove buying books, but it was time to start finishing the ones I started. So these last months I have read "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin, about friends that work in the videograme production business, I learnt a lot about it and found it super interesting! Another amazing book I read is "The Cost of Living" by Deborah Levy, where she talks about marriage, divorce, motherhood. I found so on point her perspective and the way she describes her feelings, it makes you feel empathy and aware that you are the one that has to create a life you want to live. if you like this author, you will also like Paul Auter's "Winter Journal", it's the same style, they describe the world through their lives and routines. I added the links to buy the books on Amazon, if you use them I get a small commission:)

I think this is it for now! I will try to stay in touch more often so I don't forget any important facts or tips to share. Thank you being there! Until the next post!!
