This is a “not so successful” 8-double cat portrait that I was commissioned to do – It’s got some problems here and there, so I’m going to start over on this on this one once I’ve cleared a few other things out of the way.
Sorry about the absence everyone! I’ve been busy!

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?

Another Reddit gets drawn sketch! – This time of a little girl. I didn’t quite capture the cute little expression. Babies are so much harder to draw than wrinkled old men!
Come see some more baby sketches

Same principle as the one I just did -quick and loose, and with some watercolor for spice. I think you need to do a lot of these before they start looking right.
It goes without saying that this is yet another Reddit gets drawn sketch!
It was my 754th sketch since 9th September 2014
Again a Reddit gets drawn sketch – this guy wanted to have a drawing made of him holding his camera. I wanted to try one of those really quick pen sketches with loosely added watercolor to make it come alive. I often see people making those, and really love how this minimal attack can give really nice results.
I think the last time I tried doing something similar was when I tried to copy some great watercolor cyclist sketches by Maxine Dodd very very long ago.
I actually drew this so fast that I accidentally dipped my watercolor brush in my coffee. But never worry. It tastes just fine.

This 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.
Here’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.
And lastly – this is a portrait that I just finished for the winner of my recent pet portrait giveaway
The cat in the picture is called Cuzz-Wuzz, and her “mom” is a cat-blogger over at DashKitten.com

Come see this one at my Pet portrait portfolio too!
These two are drawings are what I’ve managed to produce since my last post! The first one if another one of my free pet sketches whereas the latter is a new commissioned drawing that I worked quite intensely on yesterday to get it ready to ship as soon as possible. The original photo had the dog wearing a bright red.. Dog jacket? (I’m not 100% on the terminology here) – that I decided not to include in the portrait. It also has the dog posing on the beach. I opted for a plain blue background to keep the focus on the dog. I hope you all like it!

Here’s my most recent commissioned drawing of three cats. The owner wanted to get them all together in a painting as a keepsake, but since one of them has passed away, the composition had to be made out of individual photos.
I’m fairly happy about the result, but I have yet to hear the owner’s opinion !
Come see this tripple-portrait of three cats on my portfolio site as well!
This was my 671th drawing since the 9th September 2014!
Hi everyone! Here’s the latest batch from me. I keep busy with drawing (almost) every day. I still have a ton of those “free sketch requests” – mostly cats and dogs, but I was quite happy to see a photo of a cute baby girl in the mix as well! She’s cuter in the photo … Read more
