I wish my computer was not acting weird today.

Can you spot the self-portrait?

photo update

I got some new yarn to start something new with crocheting. You see the first chain in the top picture.

And I tried something with cutouts, but this self-portrait came out a bit weird. It's so cheerful in a way.

and I finished this big ballpoint/ink drawing, it is A2 actually. It is an enlarged movie still, but I have not seen the movie and I cannot remember it. The actress is from a Dutch show called "Wie is de Mol?", that's the only thing I know.

Just some mixed sketches. Some of these are drawn when I got my haircut. Which you can see in the only self-portrait in the middle page.

scarf/blanket

A while ago I was knitting a big scarf. It turned out this big that I could use it as a small blanket too. Anyway, here are some pictures of it. The scarf has many colors as you can see.

+ a profile shot of me. It is kinda hard to wear this as a scarf really. It is heavy... for a scarf I guess.

It was VERY light outside.

It had like 150 stitches in a row, that is a lot I think! Next time I am trying to make a sweater, with less stitches.

new year

starting this new year by opening my sketchbook. Yesterday I stayed up until 2 am which is harder than it seems. I am glad the fireworks are almost over now.

adventures of my spoons sculpture and biro drawings

If you visited my blog before, you may remember this sculpture. I finished it now (in other words: ran out of plastic spoons), so I took more photos of it for school.

as window decoration

It is almost like a robot, even though it does not move.

After that I took it apart to take it with me next class. There I will have to rebuild it, I hope it is not broken by then.

I also made an A3 biro drawing featuring myself. I felt like it was time to create a self-portrait without any references.

I also started on a new drawing, here you can see it will take a while because of all the details.

self-portrait class

Yesterday's class theme was self-portrait and we had to make line drawings of ourselves. We had to work on huge A1 papers again, so I had to fold them to take home. I also just got a haircut so I could draw my new hair! First drawing was too small so I had to start over again.

The last assignment was to use the frottages into the drawing and accentuate some features. I chose hair, eyebrows and the mouth. Too bad of the fold, it was not supposed to be there, but in the train you really want to have some compact papers.

school work and such

For sculpture class I have to make a sculpture at home, with a chosen material, and you can see the result so far in this photo. I have to add some more spoons and then I will take some more photos of it and ... transport it to class. That will be an adventure, it is hard to transport this on the bus/train/bicycle, which I use to get to school.

I also finished a new painting, which I will take with me for judgement day. This one is inspired by Las Vegas and pop culture.

Do you remember the scarf I was knitting? I finished now, and here you see me wearing it. :> It has been ages since I took a photo of myself haha. I am more suitable to be behind the camera I think. The scarf is kinda small though, so I guess it is more suitable for summer.

observation

This was some of my homework!

oil pastels and paint

Currently working on that ^
