Finding ways to be relaxed after a tiresome day | Sending my love to the Moon🥰

Hi Friends!

Today is actually a bad stressful day for me from the morning. We had the final presentation and viva in a subject in today morning. Though it is a group work, some group members’ contribution was so less. But still we managed to do the work on time. We had to do 5 group reports before and this one was the presentation and viva related to those reports.

We made our slides and practiced our parts earlier. So we were in a good mind for the presentation. But when doing the presentation, a thing that should not be happened has happened by one of the group members and I was the one who was affected by that. I was so hurt because that one deliberately did that fault and it was not the first time he did that kind of things. So from the morning to the evening, I was so upset and hurt whenever I remember the thing happened.

I watched two episodes of a drama but it did not help me to relax my mind. So after having dinner, I thought of drawing a picture hoping it would help me.

I have not gifted with the talents of drawing from the birth or learnt it. But I like to see and appreciate others drawings. Specially my sister @sandu comes to me when she draws a painting asking whether it is good. But from the childhood, I am weak in drawing. However today I felt like draw something. What is the wrong of doing something though we don’t have skills in it, if it gives us happiness?? So I started drawing my painting.

I have watched many videos of drawings in youtube when I was free and I have some ideas on my mind about it. I got their basic techniques but this drawing is my own work came from my own imagination.

I have a pastel box which I had bought earlier, so this was the time to open it. What I needed was some pastels, a paper and a pencil.

First I coloured the background in the colours as I prefer.

Then I blended the colours using a piece of paper. I have watched this technique in videos. After blending the background looked nice.

Then it was the time to draw something in the picture. I haven’t planned anything, but I got an idea of something interesting in my mind immediately. So I draw a sketch of it first.

Then I coloured it with a pencil.

But I felt that the pencil was too light so I went to sisters room searching for something darker to draw them as I knew that she has those kind of things with her. She gave me her all pencils and pens so I come back and chose the best one.

Then I darked the figured that I drew using that pen. As I hoped, it came well when it is darked.

I wanted to place some white drops on the picture but I could not find a white pen or something suitable for that.

This is the picture I drew looked at the end.

I know this is so simple and easy. But the relief it could give to me was not that small. It refreshed my mind and made me happy.

Now I am writing this post and hope to go to the bed after that. But if I did not draw this, I may have gone to bed with those negative feelings in my head. So I am thankful to this picture.

When looking at this picture, a name for it came to my mind. “Sending my love for the Moon” was it. Isn’t is nice??

So, my moon, this love is for you!!

Thank you for reading!
