Pencil sketch

Well nothing much really just some practice made with an old fashion pencil. I'm in no way really satisfied with it but apparently I have forgotten how to use a pencil and I really need to sharpen up my skills.

Speedy

Another environment practice. It has some elements that I enjoy, and others that i loathe, but I set myself a challenge to finish a painting in 30 min and then stop and this is the result.

An apology and a vow

Uh, I really made a mess of the design on this blog,,, however I had fun doing it, and I will change it later, when I start taking things a bit more serious. I am thinking about making a new home page, and I want a consistent design for all parts of it; portfolio, blog and the main webpage.

And the vow. I have promised myself to make one finished illustration every weekend, so the plan is to update this blog on a weekly basis from now on. That is the plan... we'll see what happens in reality.

A slug,,, doing a summersult. I honestly have no idea why!

I'm having a lot of fun practicing environments at the moment. So who cares that I am not very good at this particular discipline yet, when it is such a hoot learning it. About 2 hours no reference.

Badass WIP

A still unfinished piece that I am working on at the moment. I was wondering about the struggle it must be for a male flamingo to keep its masculinity, and this is the preliminary result. The "background" is a "phony" that I painted very fast to cover up the real background - I want to keep the mystery alive even if I am giving away some of it by posting the unfinished work here.

I really think I am getting better with each painting I am making at the moment.

landscape speed painting made in free hand from imagination, but after spending hours working with a view a bit like this.

Doggy it is...

It is a dog and it is in fact a part of a larger piece that I am currently working on. However I needed a new profile picture various places, and I found it a lot easier to cut the head of this dog and make a crude background, than to paint something all new. The name tag says "Horst" my all time favourite comedy-name. And coincidentally the name of my horse.

Just a little digital painting to kick off this art-blog. Made for a contest on a Danish artist board,,, and still not finished, but it will stay like this for a while.
