C'est un petit defis

Hiya there folks! How are you doing?
Sorry, I wanted to post this yesterday, but the heat here doesn't let me to think what to write, and you know I always like to write a description when I post important pics. Since Friday I arrived to chiapas to celebrate my mom's birthday, and I'm going to stay here for like two weeks, which it would have been greater if I had bring all my stuff with me. I'm silly though! I packed all in the backpack....all except the most important things: my tablet and art supplies! So I guessed it was going to be a really bored time
But even so I forgot my mouse and table, I just didn't wanted that the fact of not bringing my tablet or even my mouse spoil the day. So...you guess, it's a painting or a photo?

Hehe yeah, believe it or not, it's it's a painting I did yesterday, and it's digital! I  was trying to test "Fresh paint" for the first time. Cos in this computer my photoshop gets stuck, and that was the software that was included with the laptop, and worked. But since I had no mouse, I did it with the fingers...and now my finger hurts! but I'm so darn happy with the results!!! What I love about this software it's that it looks like real oil painting And a funny and curious fact, it's that it's as difficult to paint with it as it is with real oil paint
Bon voilà, et le tittre c'est parce que c'est un petit defis....de faire hymne a la joie! la vie!

Ops  I mean, c'est un petit defis de faire un paysage! Sorry but every time I see or heard the word "defi" it reminds me of this song www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrBQii… ! Because this is the first time I heard the word, when listening to it *chuckles*
But yeah as I was saying, the title it's cos, this indeed was a little challenge that I did....Not just because was made with a software that I have never used and with my finger in the pad of the mouse. Also because it's inspired on a person who...Who I loved a lot and considered more than a friend, more than a part of my family....a part of myself. A person who I miss and I haven't seen since a good time ago....
I wouldn't talk about why or anything like that. I myself don't know ...What makes one person to lost contact with someone who they consider part of their family, part of themselves?!.....that's what he used to say of me....Well, I'll not talk about what happened cos he wouldn't have liked it. He was very reserved about his personal life, and me too. I just wish....I wish I knew where he is now, cos I do care about him for real....I wish I could be able to know at least if he is ok....

Well, anyways, I made this cos, I would like to thank to this person the fact that he knew how to inspire me to do artwork. He never forced me to do this or other thing or went mad about the kind of art I did or didn't. He was really wonderful when talking with people heheh. Some time ago I remember that he told me that if I would like to do a little challenge, and draw something I haven't drawn before like a landscape for example.  
You know I usually only draw characters or people. I don't do (or I would say almost never? )  landscapes or "backgrounds" when drawing because I get easily exhasperated when painting them! But the way he said it made the idea look so exciting and cool, so I wanted to take his challenge since he mentioned it, but my work and other things that happened later didn't let me to do it, cos I had no time/inspiration at the time....Until now!
I would like to post a quote of what he said, you will see that his use of the words it's extraordinary! ^^ 


"Et Est-ce que tu accepterais un petit défis ? Je te demande d'essayer en sketch de réaliser un petit paysage (à ta vitesse et en fonction de ton emploi du temps et toi de ton côté tu me choisis un thème sur lequel tu voudrais me voir bosser ( bien sûr que ça reste dans mes cordes) ? Puis une fois qu'on a tous les deux finis on se MP pour se fixer une date ou l'on publira tous les deux en même temps. 
C'est qu'un petit jeu mais je pense que ça peut nous apporter beaucoup.

J'ai lu ta page de journal et je comprends ce que signifie pour toi cette langue, comme une épée et un bouclier, un combat pour faire vivre une partie de toi même. Je comprends si tu as besoin d'aide pour comprendre des mécanismes du français sur lesquels tu bloques n'hésites pas à me demander. Je ferais tout mon possible pour t'y aider."


Yesterday I had both, the time and the inspiration to take the challengue, so I did it, and as he said and I though, it was really fun and it gave me a lot of practic in art!
I'll always remember him and keep him in my heart because, he was very deep of a person...a person who always was thinking, who had a lot to say and always had complex opinions of the things, on himself and the world arround him. Like I do.
He was also very sensitive and appreciated the good use of the words, just like I do! Also he was one of the very few (or maybe the only) people who understands what french means to me!  And yes, it's just like he said, french for me it's like a sword and a shield, a fight to give life a part of myself! :')
I think it would be really amazing if he could come back so I could tell him what I'd like him to draw...but well, it feels like this will never happen...at this point, I just hope that whenever he is, he can see this and know that I kept my promise. I'll always care about him and love him deep in my heart! ^^ In a part where nobody has never get to enter, just him....
Also I hope you like this of course
