observation sketches

These are from life and from photos I found on the internet.

done scanning

and I am done scanning this little sketchbook now. I guess it can go to the pile of full sketchbooks now. These are just random doodles.

skin deep

Title has nothing to do with the drawings. I was listening to a song called "Skin Deep". I love Audrey Gallagher, such a nice voice she has.

digital sketches

At a forum I was asked to post some of my initial sketches. I usually never post something that is still in this stage, so today is a change. Since my blog usually focuses on my progress as an artist, these sketches deserve a place here as well. Even though most of them are very loose.

ink works

For school I finished two ink drawings, here you can see them:

"Maria in the lake"

Taking photographs of these is always hard, I want them to keep the same impact but a photo is much different than the real thing. The first work (I will refer to it as "Maria") is actually A1 and the second one is A2. I only drew on the Maria artwork, the other girl is done with mostly ink washes.

Oh, and finally a picture of two hares I took. These suddenly appeared in the fields and I thought they were cute so I photographed them.

what I drew at work

Note: my job is not really about drawing. I mainly did these for distraction.

intense lesson about lines

Yesterday I went to school for a drawing lesson (a lesson that takes up the whole day, yes). It was about drawing lines. First task was to draw tennis balls from life using charcoal. Charcoal is not my thing, but it went well I guess. We were only allowed to make lines and we had to keep the stick of charcoal on the paper all the time.

This makes me think of the Pepsi logo haha. Anyway, lots of lines. That was what the lesson was all about: linework.

These sheets were big too, these are all done on A1 paper. The biggest format I draw on is A2 .. o_o

Then we switched to a beach ball.

And a basket ball. Which got very deformed xD

Then did not understand the assignment well. We just had to make this:

I had to fold the papers because they were too big for my map. These lines should be horizontal but the fold distorts them.

And some verticals..

I guess this is abstract. I never do abstract lol

Last drawing we had to draw many lines and create something by making everything more black. It got so black that I needed to use white chalk. I felt like Jackson Pollock.

sketchbook post

What I have been drawing lately... Most are some random doodles or people in trains. XD I even was like doing sci-fi again in the last page.
