Start of a figure painting in oils. This is a copy of my teachers painting, i have to do this one before i get to paint the figure myself in color. So its sort of a master study i guess.

Second one is the start of my new still life, only 2-3 hours in or so, just blocking in the shapes.

Things from life and from imagination.

charcoal and chalk drawing + the drawing traced on transparent paper to be used to transfer the drawing to canvas.

Painting is fun.

Here are some new and old photos i took while drawing so you can see the process..

This is what I’ve been doing at school in January, part from the two smaller charcoal drawings on the greenish paper which I did before christmas. I included a few pictures of the studio where I work and the project I started today, an awesome skull which I am going to paint!

The eye is my first oil painting. Painting is awesome!

The large figure is a work in progress that I started yesterday, we have the model for another 4 weeks but I should be done before that, and maybe get to paint him aswell.

I should really do this more often, lots of fun and takes less than an hour.

Here are the drawings I did for school this semester. One figure drawing in charcoal (the younger male), two in charcoal and chalk. One cast drawing in charcoal (the eerie looking boy), two cast drawings in charcoal and chalk.  Next up is oil painting, can’t wait!

I haven’t been sent the pictures of my school projects yet, expect them to be posted this week though. I did however manage to scan some pages from my sketchbook and some quick figure drawings. I have filled quite a few sketchbooks and done several hundreds of quick 30sec – 10 min gesture drawings this semester but I don’t think its fun for anyone to see all of them, but heres a little excerpt.

For several reasons i have been unable to update the blog for quite some time. I’m preparing a huge update in the next days with all the stuff i’ve been doing this semester. Anyway, I did some quick 30 min environment studies tonight that I thought I’d share.

Heyo!

Here are some quick life drawings from school (sorry for the crappy quality)

The start of my new cast:

And heres a couple of of pages from my sketchbook:

I’m feeling sick so I staid home from school today. So I have some spare time to upload a few pages from my sketchbook.

Some “manimals”

Some more manimals

Crazy tower

I’m trying to optimize my lunchtime by spending 10 minutes eating, 40 minutes drawing and 10 minutes watching starcraft 2 on youtube

Heres what I did today..

It’s been long overdue, but it’s finally here. An actually designed website!
I’ve felt so ashamed passing the link to the old site around, I mean come on, a webdesigner should have a prettier site than the default wordpress template.

So hope you guys like the new layout! And as usual, i wouldn’t dare make a post without images! Here’s a few pages from my sketchbook.

Hey! I finally got some better pictures of the two last drawings I did before the end of this semester. So without further ado…

Finished second cast:

Animated process:

Finished figure drawing:

edit: Forgot that i had two illustrations I did a while ago..

Heres some cover art for the awesome game GLORG made by my awesome friend Bengan, http://www.grapefrukt.com, ill be sure to post a link to the game once it’s finished, its reeeally cool!

I also did  an illustration for my two friends Per & Jenny. They needed some art for their travel blog, http://www.unattended.se

Heyo, here are two charcoal drawings I’m working on at school. They are not finished yet but will be by the end of may. Can’t wait, been working on them for a long time.

Anyways, heres a little sneak preview, ill post the finished drawings sooon! And sorry for the crappy quality, i’ll be sure to use a real camera once they’re finished.

Sorry for not updating more regularly. Heres a huge pile of the stuff i’ve been doing lately, the good, the bad, the ugly..

Finished my first cast a few weeks ago:

This is what i’m working on at the moment, i still have miles to go. It’s a pretty huge leap from the nose, but it’s pretty cool!

1,5h charcoal pose

1,5h pencil pose

20 minute poses. We are not allowed to shade or anything, just get the overall proportions down.

Forgot to post this one, my last bargue copy done in charcoal.

And heres something completely different that I did at home..

Sorry for not posting more regularly, it’s not like i’ve not been drawing. Quite the opposite, I’m drawing 8-12 hours a day. So obviously theres a huge pile of stuff just waiting to be scanned and uploaded.

I even took a bunch of pictures of some figure drawings I did (they’re a3, so cant scan) but they turned out muddy, so I’m gonna make sure my light setup is better and take some new pics..

Anyhoo, heres two drawings I did for kicks, trying out some new techniques inspired by Veronique Magnaud. I Usually noodle a bit on them during lunch and while having my morning coffee

Did this sketch yesterday, i’ll see if I have time to work a bit more on it tomorrow night after school. Really needs some more lovin’.

Here’s some of the stuff i’ve been doing lately at the Atelier. I finished my third and final pencil bargue drawing and started doing one in charcoal this week.

Finished third bargue, the belvedere torso.

Some bargue figures, these are pretty fast, like 0,5 – 1,5h and they don’t have to be as accurate as the other bargue copies i’ve been doing.

And some life drawings, not too proud about them but atleast I can look back on them when I get better
