Art Prints

Just uploaded a bunch of my older artwork to my InPRNT page, go check it out!

Sketching with a new pen

Testing a new pen I bought, Copic Multiliner SP, and I have to say that this is the pen. I'm not the kind of person who immediately wonders which pen or paper the artist uses when seeing a good drawing, like the tools would matter, and I haven't noticed much difference between the pens I've been using before, Pigma Micron or Staedtler or some other brand. But now I know that there is a difference between a good pen and then all the other ones. Glad I found the good one.

Work In Progress

Sketches

Two rejected ideas for an illustration about role-playing games. Third one hit the spot, working on that now. But I kind of like these two and treating them just like leftovers doesn't feel right, so I was thinking finishing them anyways when I have the time.

Trees

Quick Sketch Before Sleep

Work In Progress

 Almost finished ink drawing and some pencil sketches in progress.

Work In Progress

I'm doing a set of small ink drawings.
First I have to make some tests with the line work, I want to do something a bit different than how I usually draw trees.

 First one was crap (one on the left), second one was better. A couple more of these and I think I'll get the hang of it.

Today's sketches

Sketches

Had a little break from drawing due to some graphic design assignments, but now it's back to drawing.
