11 tired sketches and drawings!

November 15, 2015 by Thomas

A quick sketch of a happy dog!

This is a pencil perspective that I’m using as a means of visualization on a project I am making in architecture school.

This is the same deal. View from a roof garden.

And here’s a cat sketch. I’ve been really busy lately, so I might have skipped a few days in between some of these

Another cat in pen. Playing a little with the background

This is the third out of three dog sketches. It didn’t go really well as you can see – it took me three attempts to make something I eventually was happy with!

Second attempt – a little rough.

And here’s the third one. I think that the sillyness of this pose helped bring out something positive in the sketch as opposed to the two others!

Another one that I’m not too happy with – Very soon, I’ll be having more time on my hands to actually draw something that’s not rushed every day !

A cat!

And finally – here’s a commissioned portrait of Henry the boxer, that i just finished. I hope you like it! If you’re interested in seeing more of my custom pet portraits – please head over to my other site, tclausen.net ! – I’ll post that last one over there shortly.

These were my 725-735th drawings since the 9th September 2014 !

Five drawings – After a few slow days

November 4, 2015 by Thomas

A quick dog sketch that I actually think turned out quite ok.

This one went a little bezerk, but I still think it has some of the atmosphere of the reference photo

I’m not really happy about this one – bad spacing on the page, and the wild sketchyness made for a bad drawing rather than giving it that “feel”.. There’s always tomorrow!

I’m more happy about this one !

And then the last one – a commission drawing of two cats!

These were my 720th-724th drawings since the 9th September 2014

Quick sketch of three crazy cats

October 19, 2015 by Thomas

I just scanned this one, so I thought that I might as well post it!

These three cats belong to the Mad Cat Lady – go take a look at her blog!

If you would like the chance to get a free sketch too, please send me a photo through here

This was my 716th drawing since the 9th September 2014

Two sketches and a commission drawing

October 18, 2015 by Thomas

Hi everyone. I’m checking in with three new cat-portraits. Two are sketches and one is a commissioned cat portrait in pen that is slightly overdue. I hope that the owner will like it!

I haven’t got a lot of inquiries for my commissions lately, but I do have two portraits on my to-do list that I hope to be able to work on during next week. If you know a catlady, catman or maybe a doglover and you don’t know what to get them for Christmas (f you celebrate that sort of thing) – then do consider getting them a pet-portrait! Read more about that on my pet-portrait-portfolio-page, http://tclausen.net

An update of 9 Sketches

October 15, 2015 by Thomas

This cat is called Dawn. Dawn can be found over at the blog called “Life with dog and cats”. When Dawn’s owner saw the sketch I did, she published a blog post about it, that you should go see here: Cat Art: Portrait of a Cat Called Dawn, by Thomas Clausen

Piece of cake!

Here’s a cat called Zee who can be found at the blog “The Chronicles of Zee and Zoey”

A dog requested by a facebook user!

This is a cat for a Twitter user.

This is a pencil sketch I did of a hunting dog called Thunder who lives over at “Two Brown Dawgs” – The left eye is perhaps a little off, but that’s how it go when you draw too quickly. I do enjoy to sketch in pencil though!

This is a cat called Cody! I did one of Cody 6 months ago, but without too much success, so I promised Cody’s owner (from the blog “Cat Chat with Caren and Cody”) that I would do another one – so here it is – six months overdue! But better than the last one.

And this is one I did for the editor of “Old Tat Mag” – A British fashion magazine who’s got a feature out about cats! I’m too late to get in their printed version, but I think there’ll be a blog-post about my cat art endeavor! one of these days.

And for the last one.. Well this one is slightly out of the chronology, but I didn’t write a date on it, so I’m not quite sure where it fits in. I’m working on a commission for someone, but I’m tossing this one. It didn’t turn out good enough for me to ask money for it, so I’ll give it another go with another photo.

That’s all for now!

15 sketches of cats and dogs from the last few days

October 9, 2015 by Thomas

Hi everyone!
I’m still out there drawing! I’ve missed a few days here and there. I’m pretty busy with schoolwork – so this is just me trying to stay afloat with (almost) daily drawings 🙂

689-703th drawings since the 9th September 2014

6 mediocre drawings – will make more of an effort next time :)

September 27, 2015 by Thomas

Sometimes you just don’t feel it. I’m pretty unsatisfied with the three dog drawings above. It’s a result of being a bit too sleepy and or careless while drawing – which reflects in the end result. The cat in charcoal was an attempt for a commission drawing. I haven’t done a lot of charcoal before, but when someone requested a charcoal portrait of her cat as a commission, I went with it. I think that I’ll start over with a drawing in ballpoint pen, since these work a little better for me 😉

I don’t have a lot to add – but I hope that I can post something that I’m a little more proud of next time!

8 new drawings – one is a commission drawing

September 23, 2015 by Thomas

Drawing of a cat called Merlin in ballpoint pen

Here’s another batch of drawings. Some of this and some of that. The last one is yet another commissioned drawing that you can see on my “pet portrait artist” site!

Other than that, there are some cats, an overly excited football (soccer) fan, that I’m pretty happy about, a perspective drawing – (my arch enemy is perspective drawing) and some odd portraits from Reddit gets drawn!

Hope you like them!

11 drawings and sketches from the last few days

September 19, 2015 by Thomas

Another few days have gone by, and I’ve done 11 more sketches. Most of these are really quick, and two are done half asleep (and aren’t that successful) – But in general terms, I’m pretty happy about most of them. I’m having fun with trying out a little different graphical approaches and playing a little with the background.

I’ve just finished another commissioned cat drawing, but this time, I think that I’ll post it separately.

660 – 670

22 Sketches from the last three days

September 17, 2015 by Thomas

Drawing of a brother and sister in ballpoint pen

Oh my.. You must think that I have gone completely bonkers and / or bananas!
Indeed, I have. These recent days I’ve made tons of these quick little sketches, and I’m really enjoying myself, although they do seem to take up a rather big part of my time available. Now that I think of it – these 22 sketches – If they’re about 25 minutes each represent.. 5,5 hours of drawing.. Hmm.. I suppose that’s actually kind of quick for so many sketches, but it’s also time that I ought probably have spent differently thinking about my tight schedule. Okay, let’s forget about that 😉

Anyway – If I start doing this amount of sketches, I’ll need to post them much more frequently. I don’t have near enough time to talk to you about each one in particular, and the time spent on editing, scanning and posting also becomes a bit too much all at once! That being said, it’s really been fun. Most of these sketches are from requests at “Reddit Gets Drawn” where users basically post their photos for a a lot of bored artists to draw! It’s really fun to look at the different kinds of artwork too. Some are really professional whilst others are really fun and all about “learning”. There’s a lot of experimentation going on too, so if you’re into drawing, go there, and try for yourself !

I try whenever I speak about my drawings online to also include a link to my new “Portfolio of pet pictures, and cat and dog drawings” – And that, I just did! Please go there if you want to see some of my more “finished” pet portraits. They’re mostly in watercolor and ballpoint pen. And if you’re a blogger of art or pets, It would be a real help to get one of those hyper-links from you.

That’s all for now. Have a great Thursday!

Oh, and I mustn’t forget to keep the count! These were my 638th-659th drawings since the 9th September 2014.
