Week 40

My boyfriend is AMAZING at coming up with topics on what to draw. This time a giraffe in a big city, his head up in the clouds, from human point of view. Alright, so I failed a bit with that.


Taking a sunday stroll.

Week 39

I made a deal with my boyfriend that he would give me a topic each week and I would draw it, and vice versa. I was, naturally, fashionably late with the first one.


"A charging rhino with a real monkey on top of it with a spear!"

"Marakatti" was what he actually said, which would translate to something like meercat or guenon in english. Blue monkey is, however sinimarakatti in finnish.

vinter vår sommar HÖST

I suddenly remembered that I have a set of quite overpriced markers lying around.

Personally I'm not that fond of goldfishes.

They know too much.

Smoldering hot.

But out there it's not.

It followed me home, mom.

It was a busy day, this one, and I intended to go to bed early, I did.

A lot going on

Tomorrow I'll be starting a five month period of practical training at a small firm focusing on package design. I'm so excited! Though I like my school, I'm happy to go try put my skills into real use.

I've also got this project going on that I'm trying to work on on my free time. It's interesting and fun, but since my head seems to be filled with pale pink dandelion fluff at the moment, I'm having a bit of a hard time focusing.


Day ten.

On a sidenote, I got a new printer-scanner-copier-thingamajig. Though there was nothing wrong with my Epson, it seems as though this one does the scanning a bit smoother... It's quicker, anyway.

My bubble of happy

Yes, thank you, my new year's resolution of doing a sketch a day is going very well so far. This is the sixth.


Tonight I was practically swamped with contentment. Knowing there were things to be done, yet shutting them away from my consciousness I rolled around in a happy bubble, sponsored by after-workout euphoria and being smitten silly.

Promises broken, promises made.

At the beginning of 2009 I made a promise to draw (at minimum) a sketch a day. Did I, then? Well, no. I started to slip in a few days already.

This year, I'm making the same promise, along with a whopping new sketchbook and a need and will to improve. I want to make drawing a big part of my day to day life again.

Happy new year 2010, everyone - what really drives it home is replacing the oh-nine in your signature with a nice, round one-oh.

Mauno mursu.

Mauno was a very special walrus indeed.

Night of the imperfect doodles

Valkea sokeus

I was inspired.

I'm not the other anything.

I'm me.

Remake.

I'm sick. My dog isn't quite alright either. I needed something to not think about. And there it is!

No perkele.

I had some frustration for dinner, with some anxiety on the side.

Float so softly

Just go ahead let your hair down

There are several reasons why I usually just paint or colour by computer and do the sketches on paper. This one illustrates many of those reasons.

Clear and pleasant thoughts surround you

Somebody to love

Paint it blue

I'm horribly deprived of sleep, so I was supposed to go to bed early today. Bollocks. Kept flirting with Painter instead. Apparently much, much more flirting is required.

We share the same biology regardless of ideology

Worked too long on his snout yesterday, then rushed it to just GET IT DONE today, so I wouldn't have to think about it anymore. So there.
