Tryout

Another try at making a drawing using only a few colours.

Another cityscape

Drawing cityscapes really makes you appreciate the town you live in! I added some colour in PS.

FRET ALERT!!

More work!

Today I set out to practise more on drawing cityscapes, but due to the cold weather my line was 'shaky'. I coloured the sketch in PS.



I often collect interesting photographs from magazines of newspapers. I like the dramatic pose of the woman!



Two images from 'Gloria van Goes'; an old comicbook written by Paul Deckers and illustrated by Piet Wijn. Piet Wijn was one of Hollands greatest comicartists.

New life drawings

The first one's a random sketch, the other two new life drawings. I plan to practise more on how to draw large layouts.

Explorational sketches

Earlier I was looking for the right design of a 'somewhat depressed mom', for a project I'm working on with a friend. Here are sketches of family-pictures for the same project. Notice the mom is still happy here..:)




+ a random sketch I like...

Life-drawings and postcards

Some life-drawings from tonight's class. I made postcards for my ex-housemates, ...and because I find hard to separate from my drawings, I scanned my favorites. Here are a few of them (all are referenced).

New magazine-sketch

Lifedrawings and a magazine-sketch

Yesterday's lifedrawing-class was very dull, without an inspiring model. My 'catch for the evening' where these two 1-2 minute sketches. Also a sketch from a magazine; I discovered a nice way to 'underpaint' a sketch using a light brush/marker-pen. The top layer is done with a brush using black ink.

John White Alexander (1856-1915)

A postcard with a painting that immediately cought my eye. Painted by John White Alexander, titled ' Jesse Steele reading'.

Lifedrawings

Today I joined a lifedrawing group; we drew all day, with a few intermissions. It was very tiresome, but good practise. Here are some of my sketches; all were done in 1-3 minutes.

Mr. Hyde

I recently read 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson. Here's a sketch of Mr. Hyde. The book is quite a page-turner!

Two crazy elves

Depressed mother

Remember I was trying to design a depressed mother? Here are some more of her sketches!

New lifedrawings..!

Illustration #8

The girl from the previous post, inked and colored.

Sketch

I haven't been able to ink this sketch the way I like. It does not work well with my light-table....

Illustration #7 Wolverine

More sketches from life... and one doodle

I try nowadays to always keep a sketchbook with me, in case I spot something interesting. And maybe I have a chance in the near future to sketch at a ballet-school!
