Ok so today was so crap.
A little bit of background knowledge because otherwise this blog will make no sense at all, at the moment I'm on a Government Program working in Florence, Italy. I applied because me and my boyfriends had a falling out and I thought getting out of the country for a while would do me good.
Well truth is I'm two months in out of three and this place is torturing me. I am so depressed I cant put it into words, I've had depression but nothing like this. Its like Italy has sapped all my emotions, I sit and stare into space. I have no motivation, I don't feel happy or sad at all just blank. I walk around constantly in a daydream, I'm a walking danger to myself, I walk in front of cars, vespas, buses etc... not realizing.
My housemates are wonderful, nice people, one problem. All spanish. Now I studied spanish for 5 years but that doesn't at all prepare you for the fast speaking colloquial spanish, I cant understand or talk to them.
Anyway today was crap, like I said, I drew one page in my sketchbook, which ill attach for you guys. The references are Waikiki (set of the day) and Nessy, I hope they don't get offended. I'm an illustration student not a camera, often my drawings will bear little to no resemblance to what I'm drawing
as much as I wish it did.
Love from Florence.
