A few days ago I got inspired to try out a relatively big-sized work using pencils only..I'm no pencil drawer, at least I haven't been till only a short while back. I've been doing some pencil works lately, but drawing with markers and painting has more been my thing.. so even though I've been using pencils in a small scale for a couple of months now, this was highly an experiment..I started this work off with no specific intentions. When the work was pretty far already, I realized that it sort of started looking like a head ! This was after I already was completed with the eye which I started from, the nose and the hand and even the ''neck''. Anyway, without any longer jibberish wobbling about the work, you may move on to see the stages of the work below:
It's been an eventful day, which I'm quite happy about to keep myself busy:) The day started off with the fetch for my driving license (I've been driving with that temporary 1 month piece of paper and today went to get the two year one). Yee let's all have a moment of excitement.
My brother asked me to cut his hair also, after seeing what I did to his wife :D I was pleasantly surprised event though his hair would be way harder than that sri lankan hair, which would forgive many possible mistakes that cannot be seen from the thick and curly hair. Anyway, challenge accepted.
Let's hear a joke Juho cracked while I was cutting his hair:
"Ha-ha, you're walking on my hair!
That should be a status update! People would be like 'whaa' because they don't know you're stepping on the hair that's dropped on the floor!"
...

Anyway.
With a company of Fenix-drink, some candy and a cucumber, I shall get on with the TOK essay (oh yea, all the IB fellows out there reading this, sigh.)
Today's the last day of Keshia being in Finland.. Hence the extremely imaginative title for this post. No but seriously, this woman has inspired me so much throughout the time she's been in my life since 2010, but during these 1½ years in Finland I've seen so much inspiring things happening in her and around her. Thank you for everything:)<3
Soon my brother will be joining her in Sri Lanka, but I've been privileged to spend the whole of yesterday with her at home when the others were working! So what these two awesome ladies came up with after a small discussion while drinking our morning tea and coffee; we decided to make Keshia's long dream of a short hair true! Whoo. So I cut it (fdksafsa) with 0% experience, if some small adjustments in the department of haircutting aren't taken into consideration. These are some of the results that followed our photoshoot inspired by the new look:
It's got all rainy and cold in Finland, but still no snow. I somehow wish that the snow would come but on the other hand, no. Is it just me or does it actually feel warmer when the temperature is the same with snow than without it?
Today I went for this tour in the Aalto-arts university, meant for the peeps doing their final year in high school. I must say that it was really interesting to get a brief glimpse into the art fields they offer.;)
I also got home unusually early today (4pm!!) and that shall explain the pictures below - i actually had time for them! Not that I wouldn't need to do something more productive but.. procrastination.
If you haven't tried coffee mixed to hot chocolate yet, you must. 2/3 of hot chocolate, and 1/3 of coffee (Y). yes.
My thoughts for the few days may forever lay under interpretations, but these are pictures that were taken two nights ago. I hope autumn isn't treating anyone badly, surprisingly I'm quite enjoying it:o
The pictures that can be seen below are taken due to explainable fog, which the beauty of it along with the city lights, could not even fully be captured with a camera. I hope you enjoy them though:) and the new layout of my blog!!! YEe.
