Landscape in Bhutan

thomas-dalsgaard-clausen-2015-11-30a landscape in bhutan pen and watercolor

This is all I got around to doing yesterday. A landscape scene in Bhutan, that I found through “random street view” – I’m not that strong in landscapes and it’s something I’d like to improve, so this site might be a way to quickly finding some more or less useful scenes.

I think that this one could have been a little better with more detailing in the foreground. But how do you actually draw trees and shrubs?

Drawing of a cat in pen

Drawing of a cat in penThis is a sketch I did for someone called Taryn – I like how it turned out with the eyes, and I threw in that black outline that I’ve done a few times recently. I can’t decide if it’s good or bad though – I suppose it depends weather the drawing aim to be realist or not.

Drawing of a cat in penHere’s one that probably lacked a little effort. I think i finished it too quickly, and I didn’t put enough effort into measuring out the sheet of paper beforehand.

Commissioned drawing of two cats in ballpoint pen and watercolor

This is another commissioned cat-portrait that I’ve been working on yesterday and today. It’s in ballpoint pen with added watercolor, and I think it turned out quite all right.

Two commissioned portraits of Toke Talagi in watercolor

Hi everyone. For once, this isn’t a cat drawing! Almost three months ago, I did a watercolor portrait of Toke Talagi, the premier of the little island state Niue, far, far to the east of New Zealand.

Painting of Waffles the singing cat in watercolor and ballpoint pen.

Here’s a cat that Glogirly requested. He’s called Waffles, and i hear that he likes to eat chicken. (And to sing) I got a commentary from someone who thought that by ballpoint-pen drawings could look nice if I added some watercolor. Little did he know that I’ve already done quite a few drawings with that … Read more

Mountain scene in Bhutan. Drawing in ballpoint pen and India ink based on scene from Google Streetview.

Yesterday, one of my followers on the tumblr-version of onedrawingdaily (his username is Emkinkade) suggested that i might try and mix the “line tools” like ballpoint pen with a liquid tool (I’ve got a bottle of india ink). I tried it on this Bhutanese landscape. I think it looks better the farther away you get … Read more
