Just a squirrel celebrating Autumn!!

but I'm not the only one.
Quick sketch in my sketchbook

Cats + Books + Succulents (all I'm missing is the cats, although I can always draw them)
These drawings are for a custom order for Nuts for Paper planner.

A sketch of me in my happy little corner in my living room. This is were usually sit and work, but also spend endless hours on the internet (and sometimes even playing Sims 4).
I also read and draw in this spot. It can be messy, but I'm working on it.

And filled the first page with a drawing about it! It was also a comeback to paint with coloured pencils. And also a comeback of cartoonish self portraits in one of my most common outfits (my three shades of grey outfit - completely NOT related with any Shades of Grey book)

Este ano participei novamente com uma ilustração para o projecto Histórias de Ajudaris.
O texto que me calhou foi escrito pelos Alunos do 4ºB do Agrupamento de Escolas Marcelino Mesquita do Cartaxo - EB1 n.º 1 José Tagarro. O texto fala sobre sermos diferentes e sobre sermos amigos (apesar das diferenças que possamos ter.)

Podem encontrar a ilustração que fiz o ano passado aqui.

Em baixo a versão a linha. antes de colorida.





E a versão a lápis

Now it's time to ink it! Illustrating friendship and different people. #workinprogress #pencildrawing #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #illustration #friendship #animals #squirrel #cat

Some time ago I've shared my to-do-list in my instagram account. And it was one of those days that it seemed that it was endless!!
Once in a while, (it doesn't matter if it's morning, afternoon or even night) I have to stop for a second, before attack the piles of work and then this comes to my mind - but first coffee... and cookie or two ;)

Do you ever feel like time is running out? Lately I've been feeling like that a lot.
Sometimes all we need is take some time off to re-balance ourselves.  Otherwise if we let stress rule our daily lives we will burn out very quickly!

Do you have suggestions for these patterns? Feel free to let them in comments!

After a long silence, I'm back with my challenge. I'm many weeks behind but, I haven't gave up yet.
The 15th Pattern is all about Fancy sunglasses! Although I barely use sunglasses because I need ones that have graduated lens, otherwise I'll start to have headaches. So I got use to just bare with sun in my eyes.

What about you? Do you always carry your sunglasses?

I love sneakers and walking is the only "sport" I actually enjoy without losing a lung. Maybe I should grab my own sneakers and walk more.

What's your favourite type of shoe?
