Cover sketch

Project:)

The above sketches are from a life-drawing club I attended. The model had the most beautiful eyes and a 'classical look', all of which I tried desperately:) to capture on paper. The face turned out alright, but I wasn't quite able to draw her full figure the way I intended... I noticed I had a tendency to draw the figure the way I envisioned it in my head; instead of observing the model accurately.



This sketch will become part of the earlier mentioned 'Solaris' illustration. I drew and inked her today, and added some color and shadow very quickly to see what it would do. So more to come!

Solaris

I recently read 'Solaris' by Stanislaw Lem, and now I'm working on an illustration for the story. Some sketches..:

Updates

I feel stupid for never updating this blog, but more so for drawing so rarely. It comes naturally to me, but then I hardly ever practice! In the mean time, a Rudolph Valentino caricature I made a second ago, a life-drawing from nature and some photos I collected from newspapers because I like them.

Practise #3

Practicing #2

And yet another exercise...

Practicing

I'm practicing to draw portraits/caricatures/etc. again, but I seem to have lost some facility. A sketch and added some color in PS.

Kes

I finally picked up drawing again. I made a sketch of Kes, a character from the 'Startrek Voyager' series. More to come!

Prague & Vienna

With a friend I spend a long week in Prague and Vienna. Such beautiful cities! Some pictures I shot:

'The shadow of the wind'

I just finished reading 'The shadow of the wind' by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and enjoyed it immensely! What a book! I made this sketch some days ago of how I imagined Bea (excuse me for the blurry quality). I hope to pick up drawing soon, as I'm now flooded with all kinds of work, except the one I like the most.

Finished!!!!!!

I took this photo the moment I completed my Psychology internship-paper...completely crazy with exhilaration.

I shot it with the iMac I recently purchased, which I plan to use for my illustrations.

Clouds

I'm slowly starting to draw more and more. I purchased a Moleskine-sketchbook and find it very handy! Here are some clouds; more to come!

Almost finished with my internship-paper, then 2 more months of internship, then finished with my Psychology studies!!
I would very much like to publish some illustrations soon!

Caricatures

I made a caricature of myself and my father when he sat in front of me;)

Photoshop exercise

I made this to exercise a bit and play with different styles.

New painting!

A friend of mine asked me to make a painting for her birthday. I finished it the other day after month's of work with long intermissions. But I'm pleased with the result!

You've got mail

A postcard I made !

a new scribble..!

At last, now with Christmas, I have some time to doodle a bit.

New post

Sketching from photos is great to exercise (done with an inkbrush)!
