Tea Time
I drew this a week ago. It featured a scene from my book. I am in the process of jazzing it up, in order to publish it. Sure, the writing should speak for itself. However, pictures are worth a 1000 words, as the saying goes. Anyhow, the scene depicts a weird dream of the protagonist. He dreams of all his brothers and sisters. It is a way of keeping in touch with them, like one of those psychic connections. Still, they are separate enough not to feel each other’s pain. Well, I am putting too much though into explaining their...
Much Ado About Graphite
This is one of the last high quality pencil drawings I ever bothered to make. I stopped making pencil drawings as soon as I got to University. I was working on making my first graphic novel. As such, I did not have time to spend on leisure drawings. The drawing features my two favorite Yugioh cards. It took me like a two months to complete the drawing. You can see all the fancy details and the like. One can easily say that I was a bit of a fan. One has to like something a lot to pour a lot...
Italian Little Girl circa 1170s
A few days ago, I drew this little number. She is an Italian girl from the 1170s. The actual source is a little earlier, from the 1880s. Around that time, there was an interest in medieval culture and knights. As such, there was a lot of paintings on that subject. A lot of care and attention was placed in the rendering of those historical outfits. Painters are usually a good source for dresses and the like. All of them painted from life, using models and the actual outfits. These days painting from life has become a little more expensive. There...
German Girl from the 1100s
This is quite the cute German girl I drew. I was using my new skin color pencils. They are a little fatter than the usual pencils I employ for my drawings. It takes a bit to get used to it. I was not too much into having another series of pasty faced maidens. Drawing skin is one of the hardest things to manage. It is even more annoying when dealing with white people. They have way too many reds and picks to work with. However, I was in the mood for a change of pace so here is the girl....
Christmas Girl from the US circa 1900
This is a little drawing I made a couple of weeks ago. It has been a while since I posted new drawings to the website. The outfit of this maiden looked pretty interesting, and so I drew it. The original maiden was from the US, and the date is the start of the 20th century. A lot of things have changed over the past 100 years. Thought lately, it all feels pretty stagnated. Nothing seems to have taken a great leap forward. I guess it feels like this since we are living in this time. Take a couple centuries and...
