And Back to the 90’s We Go!

I’ve teamed up with the fashion savvy thefreshprinceoffits to create some undeniably 90’s outfits.

Their tumblr documents the hottest trends of the 90’s with particular focus on the one and only Fresh Prince of Bel-Air! Now, with my somewhat…lacking…drawings and his way with words, we hope to send you down memory lane with these outfits.

This stylish fit is based off of Will Smith in Fresh Prince.

I was born at the end of the 90’s, 1998 to be exact. That doesn’t mean however, that I’m not a child of the 90’s. The styles have lived on, and will probably continue to. All I ever think about when I get dressed is, “Is this 90’s enough??”

Probably not…

Be sure to visit thefreshprinceoffits for the rundown of every piece found in the outfits and where you can get them to fulfill your 90’s aesthetic.

My absolute favorite! I’m so fed up of skinny jeans.

While you pick out your next 90’s inspired outfits, put this playlist on, and turn up the volume!

Greatest hits!

Until next time!

What I Think About Inktober So Far

So, currently we are on day 15 and I have something to say…

Okay, all jokes aside, Inktober isn’t that bad, but it’s not all fun either.

For me, art was always some unattainable dream. I never felt creative enough, passionate enough or skilled enough to pursue it. Yet here I am, producing art as consistently as I can manage all because of Inktober. I mean, who would’ve guessed? Certainly not me.

Inktober is really lighting a burning hot fire under me to finally do something I had always though of. Even though I stress out over what to draw, I have not given up on a prompt yet…well…except for day 9; we don’t speak about day 9.

I’m pretty proud of everything I’ve done so far, including day 9, because I made myself chuckle a bit. I will take this time to direct you to my Instagram, Facebook, and Imgur, but of course, I’ll give you a bit more reason to by sharing my two absolute favorite pieces!

The Magic Man himself for day 7’s ‘Enchanted’.

I had Christmas on the brain for day 11’s ‘Snow’.

In all honesty, and let me not say this too loud before I blight myself, I’m quite enjoying seeing my art skills develop and I look forward to being thoroughly stressed out by future prompts.

Feel free to tell me about how Inktober has been treating you lately and maybe we can bond over shared, negatively positive experiences!

Until next time folks.

Oh No; I missed Inktober Day 2!

Aaaand, nobody cares! Inktober isn’t, or should NOT be, about stressing yourself out trying to post everyday.

With that being said, I did do a quick doodle for the 2nd day’s prompt of ‘Mindless.’

Will I do today’s prompt? The cards say……stay tuned because they have no clue whatsoever.

Some mindless ghosts for Halloween!

Speaking of Halloween, I should mention it’s my favorite celebration next to Christmas, so expect some ghastly, albeit cute, Halloween sketches (hopefully).

This month of Halloween (yes, I did say month) I’m really looking forward to watching some cartoon specials.

Ring any bells? I can’t believe this premiered in 2014!

Are you guys as pumped for this season as I am? Are you dressing up? Personally, I’ll just be at home, looking like this…

Until next time, ghouls!

Cartoon Cartoons!

Hey there, Soraya The Tired here! Ever since I can remember, I’ve been doodling. Whenever we lost electricity (which was way too often) my dad and I would play a game. We would each say a character from a cartoon or any object that came to mind and draw it. After we would compare and laugh about how horrible we both were.

My childhood was bursting to the brim with cartoons. Some of my favorites included Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends…

As Told by Ginger…

Kids Next Door

And so many more (Spongebob Squarepants, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, The Powerpuff Girls… a girl could go on and on and on!)

These cartoons opened my eyes to a whole new world, where nothing was too silly and so many styles existed that there was no wrong way or right way to draw.

Jump forward to present time, and these cartoons still occupy a large space in my heart. Now, instead of waiting for the lights to go out, I draw any and everywhere imaginable, and (don’t let my teachers know) during class.

My most recent set of doodles!

I don’t think I have a set style (I’m kind of all over the place) but I always have fun creating these cute, sometimes ugly, characters. I hope you guys enjoy them too!

With this blog, I hope to share my art with you guys, hopefully get some feedback, some recognition, maybe even a few “this isn’t half bad”s would be welcome.

Let’s just assume this is me with perfect eyebrows, less tired looking eyes and manageable hair

Until next time!
