Monthly update – March 💌

Hello, hello my little beings!!✨

Sorry for the absence, they were a very strange days and weeks…

I’ve still publish new content at my instagram account during those days but in reallity the only thing I wanted to do was cry… And no even that was capable to do. Felt like an impostor most of the time and during the left over time of this I felt angry with everybody to not fit to my expectations.

I’m such a perfectionist person and when people act wrong or when I feel they gonna be hurt because of their decisions I couldn’t be quiet a usually speak to them on the very worse time and with no so careful words… I know it’s probably my fault they become mad with me and then I feel disappointed and couldn’t be able to show my point of view without creating some drama…

Those kind of events make my inspiration run to hide on the most far away place and I couldn’t draw anything without copy. It’s because of that my latest post was about oldies sketches and #dtiys challenges… Sorry, can’t create something real for a while…

But, even with my heart broke on a million pieces and my tears threatening to make an appearance on the most uncomfortable places and time, I’m ready to put my smile back and bring my pencil with me everyday to create some new art. And to perfect my skills too.

Would you join me??

Love,

Nereida ❤️

Hello my little beings! ✨

How it’s been your week so far?? Mine is being… unexpected! Last weekend was full of things to do and socialise and I went to Monday a bit more tired than usual. I’m starting to think about me like an introvert person. IDK, I love to be around people with the same interest as me and the ones who I love but when I spend time with no so affine persons I felt myself a bit drained and low energy… I actually don’t know how to express the feeling… Anyway the thing is yesterday I was so tired I ended up being at bed super early, like 22h or so, but I couldn’t sleep until 12!

Today I went to the gym and I made the wrong workout (actually don’t matter I’ll do the one that was scheduled for today the next day) and forgot to add my bra to the gym bag… I think I need to rest a bit more tonight!!

What’s coming this week… 🌻

Image

As you maybe notice I just upload a new Reel on my instagram page I made it the other night and only realised tha wrong camera angle when I finish the sketch session.. So next one will be better! I just need to find where I could put the hanger!

I also made a new illustration based on one of the sketched girl and maybe I will upload the sketchbook page another day as I got no so much time this week or even creativity…

I’ve planned to go solo to the cinema this next weekend because I feel like I need to spend more quality me time and start to doing the things I love without await to do them with other people, can you relate?

Long term goals… 🌺

I know I’m a bit bore about this but still trying to find my truly me art style. I keep creating thing and sometimes I loved the results and other just feel like crap but however it’s like I’m trying to make my art look more like others likes and no the real concept I’ll love to create… I feel lost right now… So still on the search of how look the “Nordic cute aesthetic” thing but not find yet… I’ll keep you update!!

Talk you later! Love ❤️

Hello my little beings!! ✨

How it was your week? Mine was amazing! I went on a little holidays break to the beautiful island of Tenerife (Canary Islands) and although it wasn’t as sunny as I expected it was a full of experiences trip. One of the weirdest and amazing things that happened to us was it snowed! It’s a very strange thing so of course we boguht some thermal clothes and went to feel it!

Now, I’m a fully back at my day job and to art as well. I’ve though to keep my schedule about the themes everybody around it’s working (february is Valentines month, May is full of flowers and so on) but this kind of content actually don’t motivate me at all… So, even if this is «bad» for my shop, I think I need to being true to myself and keep creating the art I love. Altough my comunnity is very little! I think all you are there for that and not for another more copy of everyone.

🌸 This week…

For this week I actually have nothing prepared in acvance so it’ll be a bit messy compared to previous weeks, sorry. I’m working on a new girl, and probably share the process of this piece so I could be present for the algorithm. I also want to create a new one celebrating self love and self care but I’ve not really worked on this idea so much. The saturday I have an family appoiment but I think I’ll be able to film a bit to post a new reel on Sunday. Maybe.

Image
I’m actually very proud of this sketch! I made in during the flights.

🎨 Long therm goals…

As I told you the other week I’m working on finding my art style and it’ll be a long path. Now I’m reading a new book about this topic (Find Your Artistic Voice: the essential guide to working your creative magic (Lisa Congdon X Chronicle Books)) and IDK if this will work but at least is an enjoyable book.

I’m still trying to figure how to translate into art the concept I got on my head of «nordic cute aesthetic» but I feel like this must be with no so much saturated colours and with lines and maybe a monochrome palete for every piece but hey they would be in harmony among them… Still working on it.

Although I am not working on the same topics as everyone around me, I think that this month you will see much more pink than usual in my work. Maybe it’s because although it’s not my favorite color, I think it goes well with this time of year. It’s not as vibrant as «valentine» red and it reminds me of when I was little and the almond trees were just starting to bloom. Yes, I think that the soft pink of almond blossoms is a color that doesn’t bother me at all. 💐

And I don’t think I’m missing anything, maybe I’ll come up with more beautiful things soon, which I’ll surely share on my instagram! Don’t forget to follow me!
See you soon!
Love, ❤

Nereida.

Good morning my little beings! ✨

And apologize for the delay on the weekly newsletter… This week is such a mess… I’ll be on holidays tomorrow and my flight is scheduled for 8am and there’s so much stuff to be done before that. ✈️

Not only on my artist side and instagram plans, but also at my «real» day-job. As I’m not there for the whole week and it the end of the month I must left ready-to-send all the reports and so on on Monday the 31th the moment I hit the office.

That means I need to left everything super clear for the person who has to cover my work so the day I reincorporate I just need to put all the numbers on and sent the emails! I’m a bit overwhelmed just right now.

And couldn’t be cappable of made the checkin yet so maybe I’m also a bit nervous…

Image

This week… 🌸

You know, I has two post ready to publish but the rest of the time I’ll post my real life through stories a little more, because, hell yeah I’ll travel with the ipad of course, but its hard to draw when you’re enjoying the sunset at the beach, hope you understand me!

Long term goals… 🙈

I think that beacuse this year I didn’t make a Yearly goal’s list’ I’m a bit lost about what I expected about but, I wanna to my art to be seen and the other day just when I woke up from a nap I got a revelation, I want my art to be «nordic cute aesthetic». And no even know what this means and if there’s some niche for that or even how the hell this look but, hei, I think this is the path.

Image

This week I’m a bit into 70s vibes just because is 3month without being surfing and the hippie vibes are on my lastest seen filmography, but all that psychedelic colours give me a bit of headhache… so probably I’ll be back to my minimalistic colours very soon.

And, that all for now, I need to take a break before calling again to the airline.

See you soon!

Love, ❤️

Hello my little beings!✨

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I got so much me-time and Im so grateful for that.

This week… 🌸

On the next days I’m planning to draw a lot of more! Maybe not so masterpieces but practicing a lot. Actually I’m making a pause on the draw for tomorrow just right now. 🙂

I also got some things I wanna to share with you on the middle of the week as I’m waiting if there’s here all I want to show at home for the Wednesday! 🤖

And maybe for the weekend I’ll share a new fan art/dtiys if I got enough time to do all the things I wanna! Also, maybe you also know but I work on a day job M-F… And that make it a bit complex to manage my own time as it takes an hour just on the public transport twice a day! And it’s also the gym because I finally take it serious and started to workout three times a week and there’s more time I couldn’t use to draw and being creative…

So, this is all I can told you for now, sorry, but I promise you some exciting news very very soon!!

Love you, Nereida ❤️

10.01.22 Weekly Update 💌

Good morning my little beings!!

It’s Monday again and I’m on my way to my office. Ok, actually my workplace its a Palace but you get the point. After a whole week of holidays it feels a bit weird to be back at the train… But at the same time I need it, I mean, I love my family, but there was so much Christmas celebrations too close and as an introvert person, I need space and time alone. And because of that I love it so much to go to the work by train.

🌸This week…

Image

This week I got some exicting news! The shop will be update TONIGHT!! (18h Spain time) I’m so nervous about it as lately I couldn’t find the magic touch to make my etsy shop more visible… but I still love to make new art and share it with all of you, so if you wanna glance at it,

Here it is!

The theme of this month is the decadence and necessity of calm and hygge after all the holidays events. So, I designed a girl walking by the solitude after a party by the sunrise and a sticker sheet which title it’s in fact «Hygge». I know i must made it more cohesive about colors and just one theme but I decided to work that way after I made the after-party illustration…. I actually love it so much! ❤️

📸 On instagram…

On my social media channels you can expect a bit more experimental through this week. I discover I like it a lot the digital gouache effect and I wanna to explore it a little more deeply so in addiction the two I already had upload I’m finishing another one (who is not an original character either, but I bet all of you know who is she!🙈)

And I know I’m a bit MIA on tiktok, but you know, I got no material time those past weeks… I hope I could make some tiktoks along the week.

And on the personal side, I got some new books to start the year on the best way, so maybe I’ll share with you my impression about them, would you like this??

As always I’m so so happy with all your support, it means the world for me.

Have a wonderful and shiny week!!

Love,

Nereida ❤️

Hello my little beings!✨

I hope you had a wonderful time on the new years’ eve and so on.

As I told you on my instagram, mine was weird, but a bit in line with the whole year actually.

This is my first weekly update for you guys, and I know it probably pass without anybody being notice but i want to do it!

Every week I’ll write you a little letter with my plannes and hopes for the upcoming week and to make sure you got all the news about my projects!

This first week of the year will be a bit peaceful than usual as I’m on holidays until Sunday, but on the other hand there’s public holiday here on Thursday so it a one less day for work.

I’ve planned to make a new schedule for my artist work and make one full piece per month plus one sticker and one postcard related. And make it a bundle to update the shop. 😊 Some month also I’ve planned to create a sticker sheet about the feeling I associate with the season or something I liked at that time. In addiction I gonna share some much more warm ups, sketches, studios and unfinished pieces so you also can see how actually my art flows. 🙈

This week i’ll share with you guys the latest design I made for a brand new sticker sheet which will be launched on the shop on 10th Jan. And also I gonna want to make another warm up a bit more detailed for the 6th (public holiday here in Spain and a special one) ✨🤴🏻🤴🏽🤴🏿✨ Also want to try a new recipe and be back at gym at some point. Or at least to work out a bit at home, I injured my knee two years ago and being without moving at all due to the pandemic and those things make it being weak and no one want this to happen.

For the end of the week i just want to rest and be ready to go back to the officce on monday… it will be hard! But I always can draw a bit to smile a bit! 😄

Have a wonderful week!

Love, Nereida. ❤️
