So i thought i would HURRY up and do a new drawing, just to get that akward self-portrait a little down on the front-page. The painting on the left is by HANNA WAITE – I really like her paintings and their contrasts, and decided that i wanted to “copy” it off to the best of … Read more
It is strange how different your drawing becomes when you put it up there next to the original. Here i need to use a much softer pencil, to get some darkness into that room! – i’m a bit ashamed to realize aswell that the blade of light is strangely off in another angle, and that … Read more
This one i did yesterday but i had to wait for today to have decent sunlight for taking a picture of the drawing. We’re still at Can Lis – this is one of the window openings from the living room, opening up to a view of the sea and the sky. Can Lis is all … Read more
Here’s another drawing of Can Lis that i did yesterday. The photo i got off from utzonphotos.com This one didn’t take very long – obviously because the sorroundings of the house are very simple in detail.

Yeah, it’s pretty much in the title. Friday was a long day – i work a night shift on fridays and got home around 8’o clock in the morning – then i slept the whole day, and while in a zombie-like state whole of saturday, i comcpletely forgot about onedrawingdaily.. Just a few days into … Read more
This is another photo from Algiers, from the old city-centre the casbah. I’m drawing this in quite a small format – 14×8 cm – so it’s a small drawing relatively quickly finished. Putting up the drawing side by side with the original photo, it’s clear that i haven’t been careful enough with the perspective and … Read more
So this is my first post, and i start by posting the first four drawings i have done in the last three days, and as you can see, there is room for improvement! 11/09/14: Yesterdays drawing is of a square in Algiers. (and it’s still based upon a photo that i’ve taken at some point). … Read more
