Every hobby usually keeps me interested for two days (second day) :)

Good evening, peopleee. Bedtime has been for a while now, but I am so focused on my newly installed drawing app, I just cannot sleep. You will laugh at me, and that is fine, you should! Either I am crazy or a narcissist, but I actually like this. There is simply no third option. xD

Aaand I rarely truly like what I make, whether it is food and some recipe or makeup (that is where I am especially clumsy) or some creative work when inspiration suddenly grabs me out of nowhere.

What I do with the food I prepare and end up unhappy with? I throw ti to the animals to eat. Voila! The makeup I messed up.. I just wipe off my face and the paper I tried to draw something nice on but got frustrated with, I use to light the fire in the morning and there is the solution. But now this is on my phone, so throwing my mobile into the house heating boiler really is not an option, if you know what I mean. 😅

This app has a million options for types of pencils, brushes, markers, graphite, patterns, everything and anything you want and can imagine. I get that most of you have known all of this, but discovering these options today was as exciting for me as it's for a child opening New Year's presents under the tree.

First I used a dotted pattern to make the background. Pink dots, then darker green ones, then even darker green until I got, guess what, almost the same Windows meadow I mentioned in last night's blog here. 😁 What can I do, I am kid from village, I love nature and green is the most beautiful color in the world!

I added a white irregular shaped cloud in the middle and that is where a kind of grumpiness but also indecision started to catch me, whether to delete everything and start over or to just simply write "Hello dear HIVE friends", post it here and then uninstall the app and move on to something I know how to do and that I am actually good at.

Phahahha, if only I knew what that is? xD

Never mind, I will not bore you with my ad hoc thoughts, I decided to draw some grass, like little pond plants at the bottom of the screen, so that my entire meaningless composition would at least have some sense. Then, a few ideas just fell into place and a hill appeared, a darker "cosmos-like" sky and the fluorescent green marker found its spot and stole all the focus for itself. Isn't that kind of the lovely green? I'm telling you, the most beautiful color in the world! 💚

Should I even ask you what do you think about this silly little "art" - something? I usually do and even when someone tells me they like something I made, I immediately go against it! Yeah, you heard me well. I go with how it's not good ot all or just isn't perfect, how the food tastes bad, has a weird texture, how I applied the eyeliner poorly, how my drawing looks like a first grader's "Čiča Gliša" sketch and is definitely not worth for posting anywhere or to be placed on a wall to beautify home.
I can criticize myself in a second and I'm really good at it. There, if this were a real job, I would be doing it and I'b be a millionaire!

This reminds me of when I bought a new tablet a couple of years ago and discovered this colouring app. I spent hours colouring in the templates every day. Then I saw how creative and beautiful everybody else's work is, I got deflated and then I got bored of it.

Have fun with it whilst you still can!!!

We are both far too cruel to ourselves - feeling like this today. ☺️🎨😻
