Draw My Life



There have been a slew of Draw My Life videos on Youtube, and so many of you requested that I do one! I hesitated for a long time because actually, I'm a fairly private person and very careful about what I share on Youtube or on the Internet in general.

I changed my mind on doing this video many times, but then I realized that I don't want to portray myself as someone who is "perfect", as someone who doesn't have problems and issues just like the next person. Sometimes I feel like there is such a struggle to always look and seem flawless on Youtube, but it's really not who I am. I mean, I have gone through dark periods of life, had both amazing and troubling experiences, and faced challenges that I struggled to overcome. And most of all, my life doesn't revolve all around beauty and shopping. Before Youtube, I did a lot of traveling and soul-searching that shaped me into the person I am today. I wanted to share that previous life with you.

You can watch it below, or see it directly on Youtube here.



Here are some more drawing excerpts - the video is in watercolor!

    This was wonderful! The best draw my life I have seen. I also watched your Asia video and I'm really itching to go travelling next summer after I finish my studies.

    I was thinking about doing the interrail around Europe. I'm from Ireland but haven't seen a lot of Europe. Do you know much about this system, or know anyone who's done it and could give me any advice? :)
