I want to draw - I have to draw!

This little blog should – in a perfect world - function as a peek into my personal little trip down the road of drawing. I can guarantee there will be plenty of road rage, steep learning curves, crying and thumb sucking involved.
If you scroll down you will see some of my begging steps (hahahaha I'll let that stand - Freudic slip - but I mean *beginning*). Since I never really did any drawing prior, I don’t have any old drawings lying around to share either - unfortunately.
My starting level was nothing, stickmen and general straight line challenged, with an newly added circle handicap – good fucking game.
But I’m determined I will learn this, whatever the cost.

Just upload you newb!

It's not that I'm not drawing, it's just I'm lazy and it's too damn easy to skip updating the blog and just go for a quick facebook post. Habbits and all that jazz!

Wanted to paint a sensation of having the "scatterbrains"!
sea of random thoughts

Some gesture drawings and quick sketches.

A... thing, not sure what it is, but I can't finish it for shit, prolly due to me not knowing wtf it is, but it just sorta popped out of some color mixing.

Pratice, pratice and pratice. Trying to figure out the basics once again ><

Trying not to forget to draw with pencils from time to time, though I'm getting bad at keeping up with the good old 2B. I blame "ctrl+Z".
Also the constant "You have to draw from life!" rant is getting a bit annoying for me. I'm to shy to just go out and sit my ass down and draw ppl in public, so it just turns into stuff like the first two pics... a box and a pillow - how inspiring!



I started on an Purple Tentacle drawing on my wall here - which I immediately regretted! ><

I wanted to try and understand, and work on a more comicbook style of drawing, that whole field is like... very confusing to me. But here's my take on a perfect Danish day of summer :P

Got shittons of more to upload, but don't wanna turn this into a huge wall of doom, so that can wait a day or two I think ><

Down, Down-forward, Forward + Punch (ups and downs, sometime you move forward and throw a punch as well)

So it's not all bad, managed to turn my downward spiral into a casual Sine curve.

Anyway not alot to write, so I'll upload some drawings instead. It's mostly quick sketches which aren't supposed to be finished or cleaned up, just bum bum bla bla next... (the red lines in these quick sketch/studies are usually traced - when I stumbled over something I just can't understand I try and trace the referance and compare, sometimes that helps me spot where my biggest mistakes lies)

20 a day


I did some cartoonish drawings for a friend as well, which tbh are those which turned my mood. They forced me way outside my comfort zone and I was 99.9% sure that it wouldn't be something that I would be able to finish, but turned out even with big frustrations and doubts I sorta enjoyed making them...

Kinda annoyed with this coloring, but I just don't know wtf I'm doing when it comes to combosition, coloring... lines, shapes, forms... shit I never know wtf I'm doing. :)

And some... filler stuff, Tinker Pin-up just 'cause and a failed attempt to draw my old Undead Priest from WoW - didn't know wtf I wanted with it so just turned into some dark buhu shit. I really need to have a clearer vision wtf it is I want to do before I start, I'm not good at just hoping for some idea to spark while I'm working.



Tinker, Tinker bell pin-up


Okay 'nuff talk.

FML (FUCK MY LIFE!)

I can't describe in words how shitty this drawing process is making me feel... Everything is just shit so why not share some.














Not a single fucking thing works for me lately, I'm really pissed off and utterly depressed at the same time... FUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKK!!!!!!

Self portrait of FU! :(




Ugh blug promise is a promise.

So cold outside - Merry Christmas etc.

A few more updates.

Tried to draw Bubble... is that what his name is? the green guy from Bubble Bobble :) Anyway the first one is one I did a couple of months ago and then a few pics from now, I should have spend a bit more time in the end with things like the bubble at least, but well business as usual "should've, would've, could've".

Been playing a bit of League of Legends lately, some would argue too much. Wanted to do my take on a Hip Hop Tristana, but ugh it sorta went sillymode at some point, I don't know what happens but often I loose track of my original idea and my first "sketch", it's like something getting translated over and over each time loosing a bit of the meaning, that's how I feel about it at least, I don't know if I need to keep my start sketch somewhere closeby so I constantly see it or it's just something I will have to live with.

The Dresden Files Fan Art Molly Carpenter Lady Winter
Been reading the latest Dresden Files - Cold Days, by Jim Butcher and felt I just had to try and paint my version of the *SPOILER* :P new lady winter a.k.a. Molly Carpenter.
Now I could rant about that whole experince and it would take me ages and I don't really wanna do that now, but I will when I get the time since I want to upload the whole process gif as well, it shows just how fucking stupid I work from time to time, but hopefully it has been a learning experince for me... *it better fucking be!*

Fucking eyesight! wtb cyborg implants kkthxbai.

Yeah, back to my eyes being all shitty again ffs, haven't been able to do alot of work past week so gg - hope it's just a mild attack and it's nothing which will leave more scar tissue... -.-

Anywho, a couple of pics.

Some Roman general armor sculpture thing, I think the ornaments on the chest was suppose to be seahorses or something like that at some point, but the sculpture is fairly battered, so couldn't tell really. I couldn't really finish the base of it, what went on below the drapery was simply impossible for me to see at the distance I was sitting - prolly 1.5 meters away... yeah fuck my life!

Been feeling very insecure in how I go around drawing, I hate the sense of drawing like some childrens book with numbered points "connect #1 with #2 etc." If I measured out enough points with high certainty, then wtf am I really drawing? I want to draw from fantasy and I don't feel like I'm challenging that by doing "arcitetual drawings"... Anyway long story short, tried to draw this sculpture with just curves and see how that turned out, it turned out fucking bullshit!
Same sculpture different position. I tried to limit the things I would try and measure out normally. If I remember correct I think it tried to get the height and width correct by doing the normal box shit, then I tried to find the correct height the crotch or what u call it would be placed and then the breasts and try to build it up from that, but yeah I must have fucked up the measuring of those parts because the distance between her breasts and crotch seems way to far, but only spotted it after I rendered it so fuck that shit not gonna erase 2 hours of painful drawing to cut away some centimeters ! ><

Some pages from the sketchbook, mix of fantasy and observations from sitting at the museum. The attempts at drawing from life are pretty fucked, I think I'm slowly coming to the conclusion I simply can't do those, at least not of people, my eyesight is simply too bad for making out even the simplest anatomy at a distance, I was trying to quick sketch a choir who was rehearsing at some point, but I have to guess about so many things, like how the person is seated because I simply can't see the difference between what's legs and what's chair/handbag or bowling ball... it's absurd -.-







I'm sorry if there are like a million of spelling mistakes and errors in the text (or more than usual at least ;)), but cba to sit squinting at the text just to work up a headache.
