Olivrouw )
Eh.

Not too fond of this one, but my teacher was okay with the 'openness' of it *grin*

Environmental issues )
...

TV-turnoff day )

Varkensflat )
I hated the first version of this, but by now I actually quite like this!

10:40 pm - Picture dump!
Lifedrawing )
Note: This drawing is +/- 1,80 m by 1,10 m. Left hand and foot are weird, but over all, I'm very pleased with this picture. Great model, too.

Koei! )
Have to practice ink drawings. Damn ugly cow, by the way *grin*

Sleep )
More ink drawing practice.

Pages from typography book )
Not all of it fits under the scanner. There's more, but I like these pages best.

7:28 pm - Het leeft en zit weer op de kunstacademie...
I made photographs because the scanner here is acting weird, but this means the colors are off and the pages are somewhat wobbly.

Sketches for illustration on our generation. )

We have to make this book thing for typography... )

What, where? )
Self-portrait *grin*

We're pushing ourselves... )
Illustration for an article on our generation.

2 lifedrawings )
Black conté, me like.

Pages from another book thingie )
We had to sit down some place, write down what you experience with your senses, and draw what you see, but elaborate on that. Last time my writing filled half the page, so I decided to stick to just a line this time. Like the first best, even though pencil coloring isn't nearly as bright as pastels. That pinkish stuff was our carpet, by the way.

7:29 pm - Updates!
Stressed )
Jah.

Lord of Nightmares )
Well, hum, he scares me?

Jump! )
With the new pencils my mom got me. It's a rather small picture, which means it's messier than it could've been.

All this in RSI-breaks *grin*

current mood: busy

Library )
Messing around with india ink again. It didn't exactly work out the way I planned, I really need to practise with dark and light and leaving stuff out and such, but oh well, my mom really likes it so I even put it on the site.
By the way, I didn't sketch this first or something... this is the sketch *sheepish grin*

Nervous? )
Expanding on some previous little sketches. Did most of this in the train and then messed around some with colored pens at work.

Playing around with ink wash. Drew more, but most of that isn't quite presentable *grin*

My mom, painting. )
*grin* Yah, her hand's too big, but she kept moving and twisting around! Toootally not my fault.

Isabel and Vos. )
Two original characters. I keep on forgetting what color Isabel's hair is *blush* Either blond or light brown. I think I made her a blonde eventually. She's brownhaired here, though.

Vos caught a lite sneeze. )
I uhm, drew this before I realized Vos is in fact, as his name suggests, quite red. That's what I get for changing around the coloring so often.

1:44 pm - Comic time!
Laser Lovin' )

There are so many things wrong here, starting with the fact that I can't draw guns worth shit *grin* But it still amuses me to no ends. The boyfriend at the time and I lasergaming. Was entertaining, to say the least. We may have played out James-Bondish scenes. Then again, we may not. I'm not telling.

No references used, obviously. Might just do that next time, it'll probably help *grin*

6:14 pm - Lifedrawing!
So my mom and I went lifedrawing for a day! Oh, I've missed that.

Van, two, tree, seven peektures! )

Charcoal and the colored ones in pastel. Loads of fun! I've never lifedrawn anything in color so this was uhm, amusing *grin* Two different models, as should be clear...

Edit: Oh, please tell me which of these I should put on the website!

5:41 pm - Doodle dump!
Activities throughout the day. )
Uhm, yes, that's me. I figured it'd be good exercise to draw various poses.

Is he going to be )
'Illustration' for a poem I wrote (which you can find in [info]aerell *grin*).

Various doodlings )
Left to right, top to bottom: tryout for an illustration, my version of a closet drama (don't know if you can see but the sweaters are embracing. It's a scandal!), another pose (I do own those PJs, but there are never birds on my bed..), a sexy christmas lady with some weird lines, and one of my professors (screwed up the eye, but otherwise it actually looks like him).

Ik weet het niet )
Frustration on the left side, some stressy peoples on the right (know the feeling like someone is throwing a fit in your stomach?), a representation of our dog when he's pissed (we think he looks like a Gremlin when he does that), and uhm, kitty. And mice. I really like the mice *grin*

4:29 pm - Moremoremore!
Doodles and sketches )
With a weird witch and her weird cat, more sketches for a poem ("I dance like I've got diamonds at the meeting of my thighs"), weird nonsensical doodling (that is a tree, sort of!) and, uhm, an elephant.

Gypsy )
Gypsy for Maartje. Fiiiiinally finished it (a while ago actually but I wanted to give it to her in person, not on this site). Not too happy with the feet and the face, but oh well, I can't keep on editing it so I declare it done. At least it's colorful.

6:16 pm - more class doodles!
Snakes on a... er... heep? )
Okay this is real doodling so I don't even know why I'm showing you this except for the fact that it did take me precious minutes of my class to doodle it in the first place!

Once more inspired by Sebastian's love for the creatures *grin* )
If I ever get to it, I might try and paint it. Should make for a colorful picture! And fun to paint.

Soledad )
This is an actual illustration (okay, well, a sketch for, if I'd ever make a real illustration out of it) for the poem "Soledad" by Robert Hayden. Loved the imagery, tried to do something with it... if I ever do make a decent illustration out of it, I'll figure out some way of showing the inside of his dreams around him.

This is the poem, by the way. )

I really liked illustrating a poem, mostly because the imagery is already there (makes the job easy, doesn't it?). Think I'm going to do this more often, just for fun!

Semi-finished illustration! )

Help! Ik vind de ink wash leuk en het idee ook van de tekst, maarrrr het plaatje op zich niet zo lekker, uiteindelijk. Schets was leuker. Waarom? Tips! Moet ik het lichaam of de achtergrond toch donkerder maken?

Sketches for an illustration )

Hmm what do you think? It's an article on how the catholic identity of our university is disappearing(/forgotten), so I figured I'd draw something that is fraying, unraveling... But I fear it's a little too obscure. Kim thought maybe I should draw his legs as well...

Oh, the end result should be done in india ink and maybe photos of the hands/face, not sure. Share your ideas, please!!

Oh ja, de Ballie zoekplaat! )

Pas op, groot. En ik zie nu pas dat deze versie nog niet geknipt is, oeps. Dan zullen er wel meer dingen niet kloppen. Goed. Ik vind 'm te groen, zou er bij nader inzien wat meer asfalt in gooien, maar ik was er zo ontzettend lang mee bezig geweest dat ik 't allang goed vond.

Te vinden zijn onder meer:
Mislukte bierkratklimpoging
Wielren EK (of WK of wat dan ook)
De Ondergang moet verhuizen
Kraken van postkantoor
Radboud 85 jaar (hoogleraren in de stad, vreemdsoortige versierselen)
Phocas heeft geen botenhuis meer
Judith, Kim, Lammert, Colin, Maartje, Gerdinand, Paul, Sebastian, mijn moeder, Martine, Ballie, Wally, mijn Nijmeegse vriendinnengroep aan de drank
Dispuutmensen die deuren intrappen en er tegen pissen
Porno op de tandheelkundefaculteit
Wethouder die gepepen wordt (eigenlijk in de fietsenkelder)
Een bazinnetje van Ovum Novum die opgesloten was door baasjes van Carolus Magnus
Batavierenrace
Nijmeegse Vierdaagse
StuKaFest
Etc, etc

Food crisis )

I was doodling on the theme of the food crisis for an article in ANS, and decided to ink it... Might just as well color it to make it a little bit more interesting, but hey, it's not my illustration to make.
