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 drew the details on the other side I didn’t see the one side.

The result was that the branch got wider and wider. I didn’t like that drawing very much. My teacher did.

After that I only drew this kind of pictures. Save pictures that weren’t supposed to look like something. Back then I only used two colors.

On the Click show a site was featured where they showed how to draw portraits of famous people. One of the technique he shows was the use of tortillons.

Tortillons are conical shaped pieces of pressed paper that are used to blend colors.

I drew this picture to play a little with the tortillon and so see what I can do with it.
