"bouquet"

A good old post card with a good old Hello! - special flowers for a special person, though.

Happy Father's Day

Movember

Late at night when you know you should be doing school stuff, what do you do? You draw a man that kinda looks like an old movie star but with unconventional hair, mustache and some feminine features. I did no pre drafting on this piece... I think that's why it became so wacky. The drawing is my way of saying GO for MOVEMBER!

A closer look of the gif:

Previous post with the same idea here. They would make a lovely couple, wouldn't they! :D

for school of life

Here are cards to farewell two dear people from work. They left the store to continue their lives with new exciting adventures - both equally dear, that's why I made similar cards. I wish the two of you the best of luck!

A quick shot of my latest work while it was in progress. I like the dramatic touch of a ballpoint pen. There's no way going back and it's kind of super permanent...

This morning I slapped myself on the face and finally began to draw.


I'm very sorry for being not too active with my blog lately. I like blogging and that's the main reason why I'll try harder to post more often in the future. My creativity just took a pause there...


And about the picture: yes I dare.

plans after plans

Another project of mine is about to start and these photos are from my sketchbook.


During the past week I've spent time doodling a lot. The inspiration does not ask MY opinion - it just comes and goes and I have to operate with it whether the time is suitable or not. I can't help it. :)

(Heh, näköjään symmetriaan pakottava mieleni ei sittenkään osannut käyttää ruutuja apuna, vaan ne unohtuivat lähes täysin tuossa piirtäessä.) :D

working hard

Tein kotiläksyt nyt oikein hartaalla kädellä. Tehtävänä oli kommentoida populaarikultuurin ilmiötä. Oli vähällä ettei muste loppunut kuulakärkikynästä aivan tyystin! Hyvä kynä nimittäin kyseessä, vanha ja uskollinen. Alla myös muutama valokuva yksityiskohdista, väri tosin näyttää aika erilaiselta verrattuna ylläolevaan skannaukseen.
