Art post: Golden Stars for Christmas

Hello readers!

Merry Christmas!

I wish you all happy holidays. Today I'll show you what I drew for Christmas this year.

This time I finally wanted to use the golden stars that I've bought last year.

I began to draw at the beginning of December. Nevertheless, I finished it yesterday. I'm so slow.

As always, she wears colours that I love very much and also the blouse is basically one of my blouses.

Here are some pictures:

Art post: Two sides with candy

Hello readers!

Today I want to show you two drawings on which I've been working for a long time.

As usual. I'm so slow. >_< I showed the finished outlines in August 2012 here. :D 

The colouration was done a while ago. I thought both would look good with a frame.

So I gave them both one. They are very different. The colour scheme is very different and also the theme 

and idea behind both drawings are very different. But both are done with multiliner,

 coloured pencils and copic marker. Oh, and by the way, they are on the same piece of paper. :D

 Well, here are the results. ^_^

 

The image is an attempt to draw pastel purple, pastel blue and pastel pink hair with candy as hair accessories. :D I wish my hair would have these colours by nature.

I drew this to show the contrast between unstyled (left) with no makeup or hair done and fully dressed up with makeup, circle lenses and hairstyle (right). The whole thing is inspired by my own “normal” look and the look when I wear Lolita.

Thank you for reading! ^_^

Art post: Starry sky

Hello readers! (^__^)/

 Today I want to show you a new drawing. I've been working on this picture for a long time. Well, that's not entirely true. I believe I began to draw sometime in late 2008. And that in 2010 the outlines were done. In between, I didn't touch it for longer periods of time. At every step, I was afraid to ruin it. Haha, but that's always my problem. Especially when it comes to colouration. I'm never really satisfied, but here I'm quite happy with the result. And also, I'm so glad that this time the scanner hasn't ruined everything. ^_^

 The clothes she wears is something I like personally. Blouses with bowtie and the colours red and blue, as well as the partially visible top in military-style is something, I love very much. Now, the hat isn't really my cup of tea. I would draw it differently today. But I still like her clothes.

Hope you like it. ^_^

Moonlight Melodies

Hello readers! (^_^)/

Today is a holiday and I finally write an entry, I wanted to write for days. As already mentioned, I worked on a new header. As always, I drew terribly slooooow. I took my time, especially for the colouration.
But then, the drawing was finally finished. (^___^)

Unusually (for me) I'm satisfied with the drawing.

First, I wanted to use a photo of me for the new header. Some of you may see my FBM entry.

And you may remember this picture:

I really love my blue Milky Planet, but in my old header was the biggest picture a photo with Holy Night Story, which I love too. And just a photo for the new header...no. So I decided to take this photo as a reference for a drawing!

Hello there, first sketch!

More details...but some things changed to the finished drawing. The print is inspired by APs Holy Night Story.

When I was in the middle of the coloring process, I almost gave up. >///<

Detail of the head. At first I thought I messed up her hair. But luckily I could correct the colour.

Here it is! There is no background, because in the header this part is transparent. Unfortunately, I have failed at this point. It's not well done, but I'll continue to look for a better solution.

I hope you like my new header! (^_^)

And why Moonlight Melodies?
Because I've been using the name Louyse Lalelu for a long time. The "Lalelu" is from a lullaby for children. And it fits perfectly with my first name. Usually lullabies are sung in the evening or at night, so the blog name should have something to do with the night. It should sound dreamy. And there should be two words that go together. Moonlight Melodies by Louyse Lalelu. I think it's a good name. ^__^ What do you think?

 Thank you for reading! (^_^)/

50 facts - Just some numbers.

Hello readers! (^_^)/

Found this tag on YouTube. Usually I don’t participate in this tag things. But I really enjoy watching this videos and reading some facts about other bloggers, that's why I decide to try to show you all a little bit more of me with 50 facts. It wasn’t that easy as expected.
Maybe it's super boring, but I hope it’s also somehow interesting. I like these tags, because sometimes you can see that other people also have some funny or strange habits.

I don't want to write down blogs which should participate. Everyone can join or not.
 There's not much Lolita in the 50 facts, I'll make an entry for the Lolita tag.
 Eventually. Soon. The answers are more difficult. ^_^

 First, I planned to post from now on everything in English and German. But then I didn't feel like it. To translate everything into German would be too much work. >///<

1. Master of Arts. That’s what I am when I've finished my current studies. Sounds cool, doesn't it? To be master of something is cool.

2. Poupee and tumblr appear first in my list of most visited pages.
3. My hair has always been long. My mother just cut the tips.
4. I like going to the dentist.
5. I'm talking to objects. (What are you fu&%§?ing doing, Blogger? Why did you change the f&$§?ing font size?)
6. I'm a city girl. But I really like nature. It's fun to take pictures in nature. But it's also fun in the city.
7. I learned English after school. In school I had bad grades and a teacher who told me that I'm just not able to learn this language and that I never will get better.
8. Since elementary school I learned English, French, Russian, Latin, and also a few simple things in another 5 languages.
9. I believe the time is something subjective. Whenever I need more, it's too little. Yeah, it's something Wibbly-Wobbly.
10. Maps, world maps and globes are great. I also love them as "pattern" for bags and clothes. And I've some maps on my walls.

At the moment, everything blooms. That's pretty. But the pollen allergy is a little annoying.

11. I'm deeply in love with science, but I decide to study something in the field of humanities.
12. I’ve a turtle. He’s a boy and my little child.
13. Currently I’ve 20 different types of tea at home, but I love good espresso.
14. My brother has two sisters. Poor thing.
15. I'm kind of obsessed with gold prints. It's clearly evident on my wishlist of Lolita dresses.
16. No clothing is better for men than suits.
17. I love food. And photos of food. Foodporn! Yeah!
18. Language is a kind of a personal obsession. I love well formulated language and well-written texts. This is also the reason why I'm constantly worried about my own texts. (This relates more to German. My English isn't good enough.)
19. Just give me good dark chocolate, and I'm your friend.
20. Often I behave somewhat boyish and many girlish things aren't not really my cup of tea. Sometimes I'm a little afraid to be a bit too boyish.
 

I finally wore Day Dream Carnival. It's beautiful. I really want to take good pictures with it.

21. In school, I got a note on my school report that I draw too much in the lessons.
22. I love piano music. Unfortunately, I'm terribly bad at playing the piano. But that's okay. There also have to exist some listeners for all the music.
23. I've a love-hate relationship with the Internet.
24. The same goes for book film adaptations.
25. The name of our first guineapig was Merlin.
26. The name of my turtle is Great A'Tuin.
27. Sometimes I drink a cup of hot vegetable stock in the evening or at night.
28. Dogs scare me to death. I've Cynophobia. It's my worst phobia. I'm also afraid of heights. No, that's not true. Actually, I'm afraid of the depth...You know what I mean?
29. I got my first camera from my grandparents when I was in elementary school. Since then, I see life through the viewfinder.
30. Train journeys are so relaxing. I also like to drive by car. The only vehicle that I don't like is the plane. All the metal in the air is not natural. No really, how is that even possible?

This is a detail of the drawing for my new blog header. I'm so slow. Hope I finish it soon.

31. I draw since I'm able to hold a pen.
32. Nail polishes are beautiful. I bought some of the colours only because I love how the polish looks in the bottle.
33. I'm a TV junkie.
34. I like to see good looking people. That sounds creepy, but it's the same, as looking at a good painting, beautiful flowers or pretty nature scenery.
35. My room is full of books.
36. My favorit colour is blue. And green. Can't decide.
37. In school, I was one of those quiet-uncool-but-not-too-stupid people.
38. In the rare moments when I use paint and when there's something to drink standing on the table at the same time...then I dip my brush often in the wrong fluid. Or worse.
39. I hate to make calls. I really hate it. Even with people I like. Haha. By the way, for a long time I had no mobile. Even now it's sometimes months off and unloaded somewhere in the corner. Okay, it's useful as watch.
40. I can spend hours watching makeup tutorials, piano players and sometimes other stuff on Youtube.

It's a dream! Really, it's gorgeous. <3

41. I'm allergic to sun. If it's really bad, I look like the Michelin Man.
42. I'm also allergic to most sun creams. Not a good combination.
43. Autumn is great. Like this season the most. Spring is also nice.
44. My eyes are brown and green. It's a funny colour. I always wished to have my mother's green eyes.
45. I love book and film references.
46. The fresh green of the plants in spring is something special. I like it. Another!
47. In elementary school I wanted to be an archaeologist. Or at least I wanted to do something with historical artifacts.
48. I've 3 rings that I wear almost every day.
49. Sloths are cool. I would like to be one.
50. My shoe wardrobe consists of one half VANs, and one half Lolita and chic shoes.

One of my favorite VANs. I took this picture last Tuesday. It was super sunny. >///<

Thanks for reading! (^_^)/
If anyone really reads all this. XD
It's so much text, sorry. Oh, by the way, don't take everything too serious! ^____^

Art post: Music in the air

Hello readers! (^ - ^)/

Now that's an entry without the theme Lolita. Very unusual for me.

 

As I wrote in one of the last post, I draw a lot at the moment. Unfortunately, I don't finish something. 

I'm dissatisfied with everything. o(≧▽≦)o Even when I look at my old drawings, I don't like a single one.

But basically it doesn't matter, because drawing is just a hobby.

It would be bad if I were an artist. But I'm not, so yeah! o(≧∇≦o) 

This drawing was easy for me. What a surprise! It was finished very quick. \(^-^)/

However, there are various "finished" versions of my music picture.

 I don't like the finished picture the best, but one of the "unfinished" states.

I don't know why. But I like often the "unfinished" drawing better than the finished picture. 

That is also the reason why I take pictures of a lot of unfinished states.

Afterwards I see when I messed my drawing up.

 Something else I don't like are titles. I hate looking for a title for every single picture.

 Therefore my titles are always terrible. But without isn't good either. For all online galleries you need titles.

Usually you can't upload the picture without. That's not good for me. (-_- )

 Okay, enough of that.

Here are some pictures of the work in progress:

These are not good photos. Sorry for that. (-_-)

Does anyone know which piece of music I used? ^-^ The one who knows it gets  .... well, nothing. 

But I would be very impressed! ^v^ It's a little hint in this photo.

I really like this version.

This is the first finished version. But I'm not happy with it.

The second finished version. I like this better.

 When I was younger (with 8 - 13 years), I drew a lot of pictures like this.

Long, long hair and long, long dresses and many wavy lines.

(◡‿◡✿)

Maybe someone noticed that my blog has a new header. (^_^)

 That's what I wanted to do for a long time. I was never really happy with my header.

And I'm still not happy with it.

 But it's okay, isn't it? What do you think?

Or do you like my old one better:

Thanks for reading!
