“Little intruder”-my entry for the handdrawn competition at The Gathering
made in MS Paint for the drawing competition at The Gathering. “Just talk to her already!”
I sometimes use my friends' Facebook pics for inspiration. This is sweet Caroline.
I live in Norway, so a simple bus trip often provides me with already perfectly composed images. naturally framed by the window. This is what happened here.

A value/light/color study of a city at night.
Reference from here
This one was about Color and Light. More precisely I read and took notes from one chapter of J.Gurney’s book. This part is about different sources of light.
Direct Sunlight
In direct sunlight there are 3 different sources of light: sun, the blue sky and reflected light from illuminated objects.
You can think of the skylight as…

My first handmade watercolor sketchbook
I have been very frustrated lately that it is so hard to find good watercolor sketchbooks in Europe. I realized I had lots of paper and cardboard I wasn’t using, so I decided to invest in a few tools for making my own. So far it seems like a very wise investment.
I used a wonderful tutorialfor most of this by Otterluv. However I added a few things to help when on the run (a pocket at the back…

The Artist Workout, Ticket #7 Yeeey, more speedpaint. I made this one in a bit under 2 hours, since there was quite a bit of perspective there.
The Artist Workout, Ticket #6 Speedpaint time, once again. A bit shy, but I am starting to include some personal elements. Kind of influenced by reading about broken color. Little white forest monsters
The Artist Workout Jar, Ticket #5
This time it was studying, taking notes and applying what I learned from a chapter of Color and Light, one of the most useful books for a painter, by James Gurney.
Chapter 1. Tradition Painting analysis: Noonday light casts shadows directly downward, avoiding drama. Impressionism uses broken color – the placement of adjacent strokes of contrasting hues, which mix vibrantly in the eye A color…

Tuesday Tips - Life Drawing Exercise: CONTOUR LINE One of the most straight forward tip I have about Life Drawing. It kind of goes against what most life drawing instructors will tell you. The first thing you’ll hear is “Draw from the inside.” A contour line on a figure drawing is about the most superficial way to approach it BUT, it will help you tremendously at finding a clear silhouette. By the way, no one says you can’t slightly alter the silhouette you are looking at. If there’s a way to make it clearer or make a better statement, go for it. Drawing is about making decisions, not just copying what you’re seeing. The same way other techniques will help understand how the body functions, using a contour line as an exercise will help you find proportions, angles of the body and general appeal in your posing.

The Artist Workout Jar, Ticket #4
The Artist Workout Jar, Ticket #3
Today’s ticket was “Speedpaint”. The goal is to do around 30 of these with photo reference in the near future, then start riding without the safety wheels and go all crazy creative in 30 mins.
I had photo/painting ref from here. Took me 55 mins and way too much browsing through my brushes.

The Artist Workout Jar, Ticket #3 Today's ticket waaaaas... drumroll..."HANDS". Such a painful subject. I actually looked through Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Hands…
The Artist Workout Jar, Ticket #2
Well, the ticket I picked today was all about limits and how, usually, they can inspire creation. I had to make something using just two colors (hues). I went for blue and red, since it’s a combination I fell inlove with after seeing something of Eyvind Earle. This was just a messy warmup here, slightly inspired by the place I live in.

"All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it." — C.S. LEWIS
One of the problems I run into a lot when teaching story structure is the question of originality. People want to know how they will ever be original if they follow the time-honored principles of structure.
When people say these things, I know that they are far more interested in the glory and praise of creativity rather than the roll-up-your-sleeves work of it… Read More

The early years of an artist’s development are often spent hammering out basic foundation skills. These will serve as the core of all that they create. During this time, the artist should not be terribly preoccupied with questions of style, vision, direction, brand, etc. We have to stand before we walk and bypassing the basics rarely does anybody any good in the long term. Of course, it’s the style and vision of other artists which inspired most of us to become artists in the first place, so the temptation to follow in those footsteps (with or without doing the necessary prep work) is always lingering… Read More
The last paragraph in particular was very enlightening
