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.

I didn’t plan on celebrating it or do anything special, mostly because I haven’t got the time. But for some reason, I’ve made a ton of sketches the last couple of days. Let’s call that a celebration! To be honest – I’ve neglected my free pet-sketches as well as my commissions a little these last few days, and as you can see, most of the above sketches are of humans! It’s been a nice break. The humans I found at reddit or more specifically at “redditgetsdrawn” where people put up their photos for people to draw. I DID manage to do another commission drawing too, however I’m still a bit behind schedule. This is number two out of a total of four that I meant to finish for last weekend – so I better speed it up a little 😉

Anyway – should you be interested in seeing my other commissioned drawings, please have a look at my “Portfolio of cat, dog and pet-portrait commissions“.. I’m trying to make that site come a little alive so… Tell your friends!

See this one with the other dog drawing at my portfolio site tclausen.net

these were my 624th-637th drawings since September 9th 2014!

Four drawings in a new sketchbook. Three cats and two humans this time !

Drawing of Tom Cox with his cat in ballpoint pen

Here’s what I’ve managed to draw the last couple of days. I managed to squeeze in a few human portraits too. I’m really happy to have broken in a new sketchbook – this time with watercolor paper. For some reason it’s much more enjoyable to draw on proper paper. I also just finished another drawing … Read more

Portrait of Juan Carlos Varela, the president of Panama

This is Juan Carlos Varela the president of Panama I’m not too happy with how it turned out. The hand, the mouth and the ear is off. I need to draw really carefully when drawing portraits, it can’t be as sketchy as the other things I do, which is a little annoying. See the rulers … Read more

Drawing of Shoko the Siamese cat in ballpoint pen

Here’s another cat for you! This cat’s called Shoko. Shoko’s a siamese cat who asked me to do a portrait. It seems that i get a lot of visits on my blog from very intelligent and self-aware cats, and I must say that I’m really honored! Shoko’s ears are a little smaller in reality I … Read more

363 Portrait of Trương Tấn Sang

This is Trương Tấn Sang, the president og Vietnam He’s part of my “Rulers of the world” series – atleast I think that he is to be concidered as such. I can’t really figure out if the premier minister or the chief of the communist party “outranks” him – if someone has an opinion about, … Read more
