I've missed doing some old, messy paintings using a palette knife. As it is a bit messy, though, it's harder to put into the schedule. So it's been a while since my last acrylic painting. Not anymore, though. This is my first acrylic painting in about four months: To be hones I just wanted to…

I've come to realize that my sketchbook in many ways has become my comfort zone. In my sketchbook I draw people. They are often outside, in nature. Looking at birds and having a nice time. Or maybe a short walk into the city (but never too far away from the trails). I like doing these…

Another day another sketch 🙂 This one is showing some kind of bus stop, although there don't seem to be any road.. I guess they'll have to wait for quite some time. Hope everyone is doing good 🙂
In my last post I'd just finished a pen drawing showing a busy cafe street. It looked like this: It was not all done, though, as I wanted to add a stroke of watercolour to it. It took me about one and a half hours laying it, making sure I didn't paint across the lines.…

I want to pick up my micron pens again, after almost a year for them lying in the dark in my drawer. I've been doing pen drawings in my sketchbook with my sailor fountain pen, but that's with water soluble ink. Now I want to add some watercolour to finish the drawing off, and that's…

I really liked this digital drawing I made a while back: Therefore I decided to make another version of it, using the same colour tones and main design. It ended up looking like this: The colours may have ended up a bit more faded than in the first version, so I don't know which one…

If you don't have any other option, this may be the marketplace you end up visiting: I drew it in my sketchbook in about half an hour using a sailor fountain pen, and are quite happy with how it turned out. I got some more practise drawing people using a pen as well. So that's…

It wasn't really my intention, but this sketch ended up much like a scavenger hunt. There is a lot going on, but it may be hard to see it at first glance. It may have something to do with me cross hatching too little of the sketch. Anyway, hope you are all well. Stay calm…
