In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped. She is tired, and she lives in an apartment nowadays, as such, she does not do the Christmas stuff as vigorously as some years before, alas.  There is no such thing as forsaking the long holiday tradition just because "times changed", whatever that means. No. Jus...

Sketch of the week! In which we talk about the trees with snow!

Hello to you! Happy December and Christmas season! And also good evening and welcome to the post of today! Lovely to see you, dear reader, and amazing to be here, writing this post! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope everything is really fine! As for me, I'm happy to be here! Classes are soon coming to a close and I'm so happy it is Christmas time! I can feel the healing effects of Christmas season well, and they're amazing. It's been too hot here lately thoughm what a dry year, what a really strong summer! Really, this makes me dream of Snow and winter way more than I should, specially because I say I love cold all the time, but I'm wearing my sweater when it's like 22 Celsius, that's the curse of living in a tropical place, you cannot stand the heat, but you die on the cold as well. Lovely month of December, so many colors and decoration, truly splendid!
Today is sketch of the week day, yahoo! And I made a really experimental sketch recently, I wanted to make it snow on my imaginary forests, I wanted to make trees covered by snow, it was really hard, but I plan on doing a lot more snowy sketches for this christmas season! Anyway, for today, the experimental trees with snow is what I have to show to you, lovely people!


So this is my very experimental Christmas trees, covered with lots of snow, in a very snowy place, where the ground is frozen and the wind blows strong and really cold. It is not fall season anymore, we're definitely on Winter! I mostly decided to mix Green, Gray and some shade of blue together in this different sketch for me, and maybe a prologue for more weather and snow in the future. One of the trees got a bit messed up, but not all the trees have to be standard right? In nature, things are not perfect, this is definitely the case for this small tree. I'm using a different kind of paper as well!
Just another homage to my favorite season! And I also made some imaginative red details on the trees, I thought it would go well with everything! Maybe it's so hot in here this time of the year, it makes you dream about snow indeed, you can't even wear socks anymore because it's too hot! In comparison, I miss the winter of this year, though it was a very dry one... Well, anyway, it's lovely one way or another!
So, this small sketch is what I have to offer to you today, on this really hot December night! Hope you're really having a good day and things are amazing for you. Thank you so much for reading this, you're the very best, and I see you guys on the next post! Yay!!
