This is my first blog post, and I would like to tell you what my idea is with this. I have been drawing for some years now. It has been an on-off relationship. Drawing is fun, and I want to use this blog as a playground for all my drawing ideas. A place to gather my drawings, to learn and get better.
I have mainly been drawing with normal graphite pencils. When I started out learning, I wanted to draw realistic, but mostly my focus has been cartoon drawing - like the classic Gag-a-day you find in newspapers. I find this very fun. Cartoons is not about realism, it is about expressing ideas in a humorous way - so other people can understand what you mean.
I have been playing around with different medias over time. I have not been a big fan of color. I like the old style drawings in black and white. Shadows are created with lines, dots or just by colouring areas with black. As a result, I like to play with ink. I think ink drawing can give a specieal feeling. The problem with ink though, is that you can very easy make a mistake that is irreversible.
Lately I have been playing with Posca pens. This is very fun and I love drawing with them. This has come to stay!
I hope you will enjoy my playground, and feel free to give me feedback - both good and bad - so I can get better.
