My last day in Madrid! Sasha (my boyfriend) and I are leaving to Barcelona in 5 hours. I'm so excited but nervous. It's gonna be an improvised trip, we still don't know all the details, probably we will have to sleep on the seaside in our sleeping bags, and meet some cool or weird people on our way to the organic farm not far from Paris where we will stay for more than a month.
ADVENTURE TIME!
Last picture from Madrid, this portrait was ordered by one telephone company Megafon.

i was frustrated about my colored pencils, because my shitty scanner was sucking so much when i had to scan what i had drawn. so i decided to use a scanner from my university, Epson Perfection V750 Pro. the result is wow, it's just perfect. you can see all the traces and colors are just like in my notebook! suddenly i felt so happy, because i love colored pencils so much and this news mean that i can go on drawing with them.

last two weeks we spent together, my mom and i. she left yesterday morning, and we had such nice days in Leon and then back here in Madrid. i made this painting when she went to Torrevieja for two days. this girl looks pretty much like her, although her hair isn't that long. it's interesting to rediscover oil painting, watch myself establishing a dialogue with it.. for example i had to fill entire surface of the canvas, the thing usually i do not do. 

my new business cards!! i decided to go on with colored pencils, i like how they look when printed. 

 so, i tried oil painting, for the first time in 14 years, i was only 6 when i used it, so i don't remember that much about it. though it was so much fun, and so curious and very different. and now i've got to wait for infinity till it's dry.

i called the german embassy today, and they said i had to came back to Russia to apply for a german visa. papers, problems, papers, problems. anyways, i'm so so excited i'm going to the HAWK university on erasmus! my german is getting better every week, and this thursday i'm going to my first german language exchange. so nervous. 

2014, International Family Farming Year. a new project for my graphic design class.

one afternoon in an imaginative park. what i usually do at my fundaments of design class. it's so dark there, i feel i need some sun, need to go out. 

okay, so i imagined what people usually do in a park. and yes, i love doggies.

i was just thinking of a story about a man and his dog. i'd like to make an animation of them sneezing, one straight away after the other. however. i hate how much time it usually takes to draw even that simple animations, so i had to leave this idea. anyways, i could not stand not showing everyone this sketch 'coz i felt it had something.

Sasha, Oscar (a baby of our friend and roommate Kate) and i spent an evening at the park nearby our house. Oscar doesn't usually cry with us, that was other kids who were doing this. thanks to their tears, i draw a picture below. cats, tears, babies, sand in the mouth.  

cartel sostenible

here is another university work. a poster for sustainable social change. m, m, i'm pretty glad with what i've got at the end. though i didn't show the teacher the phrase underneath the main sentence, she's a bit boring, i don't thing she would like it.
