I had such a blast picking up the acrylic paint again in my last session, so I decided to have another go at it right away. Using acrylics I find that a looser style seem to suit my technique best, as I struggle to paint close details and make well blended color. Anyway, I really…

It’s been a while since my last painting session. A lot longer since my last painting session using acrylic paint. So I decided to pick up my palette knife again. I didn’t really have a plan for what I was going to paint, I just wanted to use the medium again. So I spent a…

I've never really drawn a cat before. I've had a go or two using a cartoonish style, but not one where I've tried to get the anatomy and proportions right. This is neither a cat or dog, but kind of a cat, I guess. It's something close to a cheetah. This is the pen sketch:…

I've never drawn a bear before. Despite their massive posture, there just don't seem to be a lot of features behind that big fur. I found a bear in one of my tutorial drawing books, though, and decided to have a go at it. This is how it looked: Considered this is my very first…

The anatomy is so different compared to humans, and there's something unique about every animal. This is some kind of rodent I found in a tutorial book and decided to have…

I wanted to draw a blue zebra, so I drew a blue zebra. The eyes are dark and kind of scary, which was not my intention. The thin pen lines make it all a bit more interesting, though. I decided to add them the day after I considered it finished, but wasn't really that pleased…

I've seen some other people do it in my area, so I decided to have a go at it myself. I'm talking about getting some of my work printed on some mugs. I did some searching on the internet, and decided to go with the company Smartphoto for my order. I did the design work…

As I mentioned in my last post, it felt really nice picking up the pens and markers again. In the last six months I've spent most of my spare time doing watercolour paintings, which has been a blast. I've seemed to have forgotten, though, how fun other mediums can be as well. So I decided…

I've been spending a lot of time watercolour painting the last six months. Simply because it's so challenging and so much fun! What I recently discovered, though, is how fun it is to do a marker drawing once in a while. It's quick, easy to manage in regards of supplies and very therapeutic when it…
