But hey, it looks like a person with generally my features. I'm not putting the bar that high when it comes to portraits. ^^<br /><br />Haha, don't take me too seriously about Instagram!<br /><br />You're probably right about why people disappear onto that platform, though. Personally, being able to blab and (sometimes) having deep discussions with random people about subjects is what's so attractive about blogging to me - so I don't think it will happen to me anytime soon.<br /><br />Do you use Instagram yourself?Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-55643660191733966232018-04-14T13:54:52.633+02:002018-04-14T13:54:52.633+02:00Thank you so much!

You don't want to know how many tries it took to end up with something I found remotely acceptable.

I find your description of Instagram interesting. So many crafters and gardeners whose blogs I read seem to sort of disappear onto Instagram, and I always think it is really because it is simpler to post pictures of their work and gardens without having to explain anything, no deep thinking up what to say, just ta da, here is my beautiful work.Atherenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773969634802702992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-62484299145515904052018-03-23T16:26:19.735+01:002018-03-23T16:26:19.735+01:00Sorry to hear you didn't get very far into NaN...Sorry to hear you didn't get very far into NaNoWriMo.

I'm so out of the loop with SWTOR!<br /><br />I do love the texture of birch bark, and I understand how a tree you grow up next to can leave quite the impression. In my back garden, we had a maple tree that I climbed in that I was very fond of. Now maple trees are special to me, too (unfortunately, you rarely see them). :)Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-1929392720466077762018-03-23T15:14:01.549+01:002018-03-23T15:14:01.549+01:00Aww, thank you, that's so nice to hear! Obviou...Aww, thank you, that's so nice to hear! Obviously, it's kinda what I'm hoping, that it gets better when I draw more. But it's really hard to look objectively at your own stuff (I don't really see a clear progress myself, apart from maybe the faces), so knowing how others perceive my drawings is valuable information.<br /><br />I wonder how people find that "I don't care" button when they're taking selfies. I really dread taking selfies, and on the very rare occasions that I have done that, it clearly shows on my face. :P<br /><br />I'm happy you like the drawings of buildings! I really love it, too, when buildings are colourful, or otherwise have interesting details. And I love when they are not perfect, like the building Gebed Zonder End alley. It is in perfect shape in the main street at the front for the tourists, but at the back (where I made the drawing) there was plaster and repairs clearly visible all over.

(Having grown up with a birch right outside my window, I've always found their patterned bark particularly engrossing.)Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-49981090151307314882018-03-22T17:09:40.304+01:002018-03-22T17:09:40.304+01:00I swear every time you make one of these posts you...I swear every time you make one of these posts your drawings always seem better, no matter how much time has passed. :)<br /><br />Not liking to stare at your face for a long period of time doesn't sound stupid at all. I think most people are like that. Well, at least I think most people used to be like that. In this era of selfies I am not so sure anymore!<br /><br />I liked your drawing of those buildings. I don't know why but I just love that kind of architecture. Probably because it is so different from the one in my country.<br /><br />Speaking of architecture, I also liked the De Stijl pictures. Those colors make the buildings stand out more and look more lively, in my opinion. It would be cool if it was something that got more popular around the world as I think all cities could use more color.<br /><br />And of course, I loved all the other drawings and the picture of the train station too. :)Rakunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253609981961681014noreply@blogger.com
