Hello,
This will be my first personal post on this blog, exciting!
I’m going to talk about something that has inspired me lately. (To be honest, I’ve been obsessed with this so much that it has leaked into my art) That something is a person called SoKo.
SoKo is a French musician and actress. You may know her from one of the latest viral videos ‘First kiss’, which is about 20 strangers and their first kiss together. She’s one of the participants and her song is played in the background.
The thing that inspires me is her way of loving, especially her love-story with Keaton Henson. Keaton Henson is a musician I listen to a LOT and I love his music, it inspires me as well. Keaton makes the most painful love songs…ever. He sings about his painful love. I’m absolutely amazed by the feeling I get when I listen to his songs, the emotion I feel is overwhelming!
Recently I have found out that SoKo one of Keaton Henson’s ex-girlfriend and it made a LOT of sense. For some reason she is exactly like the girl I imagine in my head…the girl from the songs in real. That’s an aspect of SoKo that just amazed me. Finally an image from my brain is….there! It’s real!
I’ve done a little research on her, and just really grew fund of her and her way of loving. The aspect she “always get dumped”, even though she is amazing and that she’s always the one who ‘loves more’ or ‘wants it more’.
It made me realize there are more things than just looking good and being nice, there is something I don’t understand of love. SoKo turned out to be a ‘muse’ for me while drawing.. I like drawing her.
If you’re interested in their love story here is one of the songs they wrote for each other.
(It still confuses me, but alright)

(but I think this is Keaton’s real view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6-QvBz9_lY)
If you like heartbroken songs, take a look at Keaton’s album DEAR, those are one of my favorite songs!
The story is just so... emotional. I feel guilty enjoying this story, but it inspires me to put more emotion into my art as well, and I just feel really attached to the people. So drawing SoKo feels nice because it seems like I know her a bit, it’s just becomes a bit easier for me to draw her.
I hope my babbling about something that inspires me can give you a better view of why I keep drawing this chick, haha. Please share stories of things that inspire you! That could be other stories, people, places, etc. it’s all possible!
=) Have a nice day~!
With love,
Numana
