This is a request I got from someone who’d like a drawing of her cat Stitch. For once it isn’t a blogger! One of the reasons I take requests is to get a little exposure and “publicity” online, but it can’t all be like that. This little one would have been difficult not to draw! … Read more
As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been working on a commissioned painting the last couple of days. Someone contacted me after having seen some of the portraits on my site, and asked me do do two portraits for him! Crazy isn’t it? I’ve decided, though, that the portrait above does not have the likeness that … Read more
This is the president of Finland, Sauli Niinistö He’s part of my “Rulers of the World” series – see the rest here Original
This is Scott Ludlam – a senator in Western Australia, and thus not a “head of state” – so i suppose that he doesn’t really qualify for my “Rulers of the World” series. But what are you going to do about it? I’m throwing him in as a bonus. See the original photo here

after this photo This is the third one I’ve done today, and I dare say that it’s the best as well. The skin is made up of reds, yellow and brown. I tried blending them on the paper in stead of mixing the paints before applying them. I think it makes for a more interesting … Read more
Here’s a link to the original photo I’m liking this concept of focusing on value, and then choosing whatever colors you want. I think this turned out really good. I tried working with very wet paper. Everybody says that that’s the real charm with watercolor, but i suppose I just never had the courage to … Read more
After this photo – taken from the film “Amores Perros” – a good film! I don’t draw a lot by pencil these days, and it’s been a very long time since I’ve done a pencil portrait. The last one was this one a month ago, and I think that my pencil drawing is getting better … Read more
