Photoshop Brushes, Last weekend in Tromsø!

God evening :D
I'm finished retouching the Noekken pictures I took on Tuesday:) At first I actually wasn't happy with the result, but after some days I changed my mind. Now, I think they turned out really good! The mood in the picture got good. I learned a lot on that photoshoot. I'm so glad I managed to do it before moving to Oslo. No chance in heaven I could have done that in Oslo without the people helping me at the Photoshoot!


I also finished my last days at work. Which is quite shocking. I don't believe it yet. It's just strange. Never going to daycare again O.o A whole new life is starting now. When I woke up on friday morning I though: "ah, Saturday! How lovely! I don't have work." But then, after some minutes I understood that it was Friday and that I didn't have work at all. So strange. I didn't even know what to do. I just sat there for a while. After breakfast I went to the city and bought myself a new jacket because my old one was so ugly pugly;P Then I bought a cookie for my boyfriend, since it was his last day at work, he wanted to buy everyone a cake XD At least he is nice! I didn't do anything for my colleges.
Of course, there is something about work I'm gonna miss. Especially this one little girl that went to daycare. I've always been so fond of her, ever since the day I started working at the daycare. I'm really gonna miss her. She is so cute! I'm just thinking: how is she going to be in one year? How much is she going to talk, and what kind of person is she going to be when she grows up. What are her thoughts in life? I just hope she will be okey:)

On Thursday I had a photoshoot with a girl named Maiken. She's just turned 16 ( I think). But I forget how young she is! She is so mature! The way she speaks and acts. She is not like other girls in her age. She is really pretty, I've always liked her looks. I took some wonderful pictures of her, on a beach here in Norway. Poor girl, she was really freezing! It was so cold outside and she only wore a tiny dress. I though it was cold as hell, hard to move my fingers and everything. I will upload some pictures of here when I get the time:) Haven't got the time to retouch them yet.


When I'm speaking about the weather: where the hell is the summer? There's no summer here. I'm SO disappointed with summer this year. I can't stand North Norway anymore. ALways cold and freezing, always winter, never summer. Why have I survived this ice hole all these past years? I'm really looking forward to moving to Oslo when you look at it this way. Although, the sad thing is that... It's nearly autumn. So... Well, but there's always a next year though. The winter isn't as long in Oslo as it is in Tromsø.

Today I sent all my belongings by air mail. Haha, I'm a little worried about my stuff. I'm quite sure something is going to get broken. I also sent my computer by air mail. SCARY! But at least I took backup before sending it, so I'm just crossing my fingers:)

Other than this I've really enjoyed this Saturday. It's been perfect:) I started the day by sending packages, (as I told you)and afterwars I went home and started a really funny project: Making photoshoop brushes XD It was so funny! I've never wanted to use brushes in my drawings because I haven't made them. My best friend always said: how about making your own brushes? I was like; neeh, brushes are cheating anyways! Making leaves and stuff, I always wanted to draw each single leave and grass straw with one brush, not a finished made brush:P if you see what I mean:P
But now, I'm like: wooow, I AM drawing the brushes, so it's not cheating after all. When I make the brushes, I just makes sure I draw them. Then it's not cheating^^ It's so much simpler, having a big amount of straw's that you've made yourself, just drawing with them. Instead of the complicated way.
I always get tired during my pictures anyway and then I get sloppy and it looks awful :P This is so much easier:D I promise^^ And it's really fun to draw the brushed and thinking how you're gonna do them and plan everything. " Do I need some mushrooms, berries etc. etc." Really fun:) the only thing is that I have to make sure that the result looks different every time. I don't want it to be obvious that I've only used 3 brushes on the leaves for example. So I have to blend everything in in another.

Here's a picture where I've used my brushes:



My last weekend in Tromsø... Really strange! Few days left now! Going to my mum's place on monday and staying to Tuesday.
Oh, btw: I started a new drawing inspired by the word: Misfortune :) I've only made a rough sketch so far:)
