Oh, I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair, in '77 and '69 revolution was in the air...

2012-02-11T02:27:00.008+02:00

I went away for 4 days which turned out to be 10...Here are my unposted drawings!

Among others!

Mmm...donuts...

Day 7 and day 8: Draw your favourite movie and your favourite animated character

2011-10-27T02:09:00.002+03:00

Come on! I mean, my favourite movie? How can you choose? On the top of my head was Dogville, so I did this. The character choice was also difficult. Let's call this "draw one of your favourite movies and one of your favourite animated characters", shall we?

Decoupage shoe boxes

2011-10-26T00:41:00.002+03:00

Looking for ribbon-storage ideas? Little Birdie Secrets had a great one! I just took two hideous shoe boxes and turned into these hideous decoupage thingies with my friend M. The napkins are from Zara home and the knitting needes were old and crooked. Cost: Zero!!!

P.S. I need a good camera!!!

Day 5 and Day 6: Draw your best friend and your favourite book

2011-10-25T02:13:00.002+03:00

Yesterday I did not have a camera, so I'm posting these together.

L.

Because I love Edgar Allan Poe, and this is one of my favourite short stories of his ("The Black Cat").
See you tomorrow!

Day 4: Draw your favourite place

2011-10-22T20:18:00.001+03:00

And it's no other than Plaka!

See you tomorrow!

Day 3: Draw your favourite food

2011-10-22T02:01:00.002+03:00

Not only the food, but the whole recipe as well!

Medium fire is essential if you don't want to burn the pancakes! Also, turn them when they start making "bubbles" at the top. Enjoy with jam, honey and cinnamon or merenda!
See you tomorrow!

Fabric on the wall

2011-10-22T00:26:00.002+03:00

Another idea I got from the internet, is pieces of fabric on canvas. I didn't have any canvas, so I used shoe boxes!

Map coasters

2011-10-21T21:17:00.002+03:00

Found this idea at Martha Stewart's website a long time ago.

So, today, I gave it a try.

et voila!

Day 2: Draw your favourite animal

2011-10-20T18:09:00.002+03:00

Well, I don't love a particular species, but my favourite animal is of course my dog Joey!
P.S. I really gotta get that camera fixed...

Yesterday I sketched with colour pencils, but today I used aquarelles. Also, I was looking at a picture of my dog, I want to let you know when I have a model and when it is pure crap-hem, I mean- imagination.
See you tomorrow!!!

So true!

Day 1: Draw yourself

2011-10-20T01:27:00.000+03:00

As always, seeking inspiration!
See you tomorrow!

Do your homework!

2011-10-18T05:29:00.001+03:00

Yeap!

2011-04-13T18:10:00.002+03:00

Last Saturday, at Comicdom Con:
Manga artist Sonia Leong, creator of Manga Shakespeare : Romeo and Juliet, told us a few basics to drawing Manga. Just awesome.

A few notes:

...and some doodles:

there was also a Batman exhibition. The Dark Knight is one of my favorite comic characters...

And some work in progress...

This blog should be called a series of unfortunate events. After my laptop died, my camera commited suicide! Then I was trying to start all over again and I fried the html code of my template. Oh, well. Now I am back. Preparing a quilt for my bed.

The pillow case I made last year (massive achievent, Martha Stewart, beware!)
