Previously, daisy taught me to use the symmetry tool
I skipped the ghost here but I practiced grayscale
With jellyfish I learned using layers, practiced sketching, juggled the colors with various alpha levels - also upgraded my canvas size.

Anyway, in Istanbul, it’s not always cats and dogs but also hedgehogs, and apparently tortoises!!
I learned that the hedgehogs enjoy cat food, lol.

(Btw, I only encountered tortoises at the west coast of Turkey. It was a surprise to see one in Istanbul (and down to South, we have turtles 🤓))

The day before I visited the museum, I saw a tortoise in Istanbul for the very first time.
To entertain myself, I made the joke “You’re way too late to the class”. I find it kinda funny that I saw the painting the next day. Tortoise-struck.
Here’s the said tortoise

Hepsi Pera Müzesi’nden - All displayed (or, exhibited (?)) at Pera Museum, Istanbul.

Hehe, maybe it’s not the way how I tell. Though, I enjoy “promoting” my life experiences (first to myself), otherwise, with negativity and complaints, life becomes unbearable (to me. If anyone can manage it, do it). I’m that type of person who focuses on joy.

Anxiety shall be away!

It is a great place to be raised as a teenager. Everyone is unique, doing their best in their (smtms self-created) jobs. Even if it’s a minor detail, we find our style to make something in our own way. (Lovely) For me, first and the best place to learn about your limits and the sense of community.

But where on Earth is “wherever”bcs in Turkey, I cannot simply order from a bookstore :( or, Germany, as well (I don’t live in a large city) :((

For me most of my orders just get stuck at customs that requires me to pay custom fee and it’s not negligible :(

I love this picture. My tshirt represents the 5 years of my high school. A seagull in the egg, growing in the 1st year. And flies away from the nest in the last. We’re called “seagulls” hehe. I always look back at my teenage years and cannot thank enough how much it contributed to me in the long run
