Artspiration!

This is another new blog post series I'm starting. These are just some inspiring art ideas to do in your free time!
Doodling and Zentangling: All of us doodle sometime when we're bored whether it's in class, on a plane ride, or when we're on the phone, etc. Why not turn it into an art project? Have you ever tried to fill up an entire page with doodles? It's quite fun and turns out pretty good! Doodles can be completely random or they can have a theme! For the more pattern and design involved people, there's zentangles. Zentangles are a series of patterns that are repeated and combined with other series of patterns. Zentangles are usually done in black ink/Sharpie.
For example:

If you want a DIY post of Zentangles, please leave a comment below!

But, if you just want to doodle, this is what my full 2 pages of doodles that I did for an art project looks like:

I used sharpies for my doodles. For the project, I had to do 2 pages of doodles in one medium. So you could do it in all pencil or pen I hope you enjoyed this post! I'd really like to hear what you think!

Photo of the Day! (POTD)

I am going to start a new post series called "Photo of the Day". What I'm going to do is show some awesome pictures that I took myself or found. If I find the picture I will include the source. I hope you guys like it! Tell me what you think in the comments below!

Spring is blooming! These are some flowers that blossomed from bushes and  trees near my house! I took these pictures myself of course. :D

Quality Makeup Brushes

Quality makeup brushes can make all the difference on how well your makeup looks. Unfortunately, lots of the name brands like MAC or Stila charge $20-40 per brush. By the time you've collected a good set of brushes, you would have spent over $100! Well, Sigma has lots of great and affordable options when it comes to brushes. Their individual brushes are about $10-20 but they have awesome deals on their brush kits. For a beginner I would recommend their travel kits because those include several brushes for $50-60 (depending on which kit you buy) plus a bag/container to store all the brushes in! I know $50 may seem like a lot of money just spent on brushes but it's better than spending over $100 on the same quality brushes. Sigma brushes are very good quality and I have one of their travel kits. The brushes are really soft and durable. They have a variety of brushes for the face, eyes, and lips! I think they're a great investment! 

Sigma Travel Brush Set

What Sigma products do you recommend if you own any? Are there any other brush brands that you recommend?
