I found this figg-leaf on the Time Nexus foto blog. It reminded me of my visits to Algeria where these trees are everywere – with the sweetest, most delicious fruits just haning ripe for the taking (if it’s in the right season anyway) – I have sence bought imported figgs here en Denmark – from … Read more
I stumbled upon the blog of Alison Warner who makes some really beautiful aquarel paintings. Her original is (obviously) the one on the right. When i asked for permission to use her aquarels for making some studies, she suggested that i draw and paint things from real life rather than copying the works of other … Read more
This is the third time i try do do a self-portrait from the same photo. There’s still some things going on with the proportions, and although i got some nice pointer from mir365, I’m still making some of the same mistakes – but i think that the overall impression is getting better. I start to … Read more
You wouldn’t believe it, but I’m in a hurry! So i’ll just quick say that this is yet another aquaral after an original by Maxine Dodd (on the right) – the paper didn’t take wery well this time, and i thing it was because i had removed some pencil with an eraser.. It’s not good … Read more
This photo i got from the photo-blog Time Nexus – a blog with tons and tons of great pictures. I wanted to do something with leaves, but the one i chose, turned out to be much more precise than what i wanted to test. But it doesn’t matter. As usual, I’m in a hurry, and … Read more

Five days ago, i did a self-portrait that can be seen here It didn’t look a lot like me! – I got a comment from travelsopher who posted a video with some helpful pointers, and mir685 gave me some pointers regarding the proportions in the drawing. So i thought, that now that a few … Read more
After the drawing i did this morning, i felt like drawing another elephant. I found this excellent photo by Susan Portnoy and i decided that this time, i’d do a pencil drawing. I’m not too happy with my drawing, and i’m not quite sure what went wrong – Maybe i should sharpen my pencils and … Read more
A few days ago, i stumbled upon the blog og RIK REIMERT. He had just posted some photos of an elephant that he was drawing very metecilously with a black pen. I have always sort of shyed away from using pens, stylos or other kind of materials that you have to be precise about. With … Read more
