Hey, I survived the weekend! Hope you all did too 
I had a nice and calm Christmas at Markus parents. It was just me and Markus, his sister and parents. And the dog. The cat stayed with a friend for the weekend and the snake was home alone.
The tree + presents. On the wall is a photo of Markus as a kid 
I’m crazy busy this week, but I guess that goes for most of us this time of year? 
Tomorrow is the winter solstice which will not be celebrated at all ( 
) since I’ll be too busy getting stuff ready for Friday. We’re leaving to spend the holiday with Markus parents.
Anyway, I hope you all have a happy Christmas/Yule/Kwanzaa/whatever!
See you on the other side!
I love decorating for holidays (any holidays!) so I thought I’d show you some of my decorations this year. Like that army of snowmen I mentioned earlier 
My living room. It’s mostly black, white and purple. I think the British house-hunting show Escape To The Country is on the TV.
I got my hands on a charcoal pencil a while ago and have been experimenting with it. Unlike graphite the sketches actually comes out black, which I love, and the softness makes it easy to smudge to create shades. So far I really like it!
Here are two sketches I find good enough to share:
Keira Knightley. One of my girl crushes <3
Michael Fassbender. Because he has such an expressive face.
I don’t normally draw celebrities so this was a little weird. But I guess if you’re going to experiment you might as well do it all the way – both medium and motif
