Tortillon (Drawing: Intersecting bottles)
In primary school I ones had the assignment to draw a branch of mistletoe. At that time I didn’t yet know that I mainly look at details and how I should deal with that. So while I drew the details of one side of the branch I didn’t look at the other side. When I [...]

Phew (Drawing: Boy in swimming trunk bust)
(After I posted the story about my anxiety attack at my work my manager called. He had used all his negotiation skills to get me to the specific department that Promen and I agree upon. He is one of the few decent managers at Promen. Thanks Herman.)

Strange way of drawing (Sketch: Ai ai)
Yesterday I enthusiasticly searched for a dozen picture of people to draw. A picture of a boy in a swimming trunk in a shower of some swimmingpool didn’t look to difficult so I started with that one.
But me being me I can’t just start with the big picture. I have to start with some [...] -

Layers (Sketch: Nice lips)
A while back I discovered that if you put several layers of different colors on top of each other you get a very nice variation in colors. The only problem is that contrary to painting when using pencils the colors are a bit unpredictable.
Yesterday I found that if you layer colors with different tones [...] -

Family ties (Drawing: Hole in the world)
My father called a weeks ago to tell me that he had been ill for two weeks; nausea, diarrhoea, tired. Probebly some virus that is going round. He has gotten some pills from his docter and things were going better.

Anger managment (Drawing: Beating them)
It seems that a lot of what I’m doing the last couple of months is relearning things I knew as a child and trying to loose things I’ve learned in the last twenty years. But I’m also learning some new skills.
