Don’t mess with Texas
Thinking about the kind of audience I’m targeting my blog at.
(Have you ever noticed how your life slowly grinds to a halt when you give in to your fears? I’d better start drawing again soon otherwise I won’t have a blog left to target.)
Before I started with this blog I had a Dutch blog for [...] -

Does loosing skills lead to background fear?
People talk about background radiation. Can you talk about background fear? If so I have it.
The Wordpress editor I’m using to write this article has an “Save and Continue Editing” button. Just like in working with any editor you want to regularly save your work in case you have a power outauge. Or what happens [...] -

Dealing with fear
It’s difficult to judge how long you’ve been suffering from phobias if you’ve never been able to recognize your feelings. But judging by the types of behavior I’m learning to recognize it must be for years.
When I started with drawing at the beginning of this year I figured that I would learn a lot. [...] -

Safety first
Windows vista comes with a few useless safety features.
New PC
I have a new PC. Birthday present by my father.
The new PC came with windows Vista pre-installed. I’ve been thinking about formatting the hard drive and staying with windows XP. But that would only postpone the inevitable. I’ll have to move over at some point and [...] -

Beware of details (Sketch: Chair)
I got a little bored with only drawing my left hand, so I decide it would be fun to try the same technique on the chair I drew a few months ago.
But that turned out to be a little harder then I imagined. In drawing my left hand I started at the left side and [...] -

Drawing: Left hand 2
I think drawing too many hands is a bit boring. But the book seems to think that it’s good practice. So here’s an other hand drawing. I think I have to do two more.
Left hand 2
The thumb nail seems a bit wide. That’s because I moved it after drawing.
I drew the first line of the [...] -

Free hand (Drawing: Left hand)
Drawing a hand in a difficult angle.
The assignment was to balance a piece of clear plastic on top of your left hand and draw your left hand on the plastic while looking through the plastic. That is an easy way to draw what would have one of the most difficult drawings.
But I didn’t have a [...] -

Don’t feel like talking (Drawing: Lines inside hand)
The exercises in the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain seem to be working.
I haven’t done much the last few days. I haven’t written any articles because I didn’t feel like talking and writing is a form of silent talking. Neither did I draw anything.
Drawings come with little stories I repeat in [...] -

Understanding right sided thinking (Drawing: Horse without a knight)
After reading some more and thinking a lot about it, I’m beginning to understand the right sided thinking and why it seems to be much more easy for me.
It turns out that I didn’t do my last two drawing in the way the book expected. With the Faces and vases drawing you were supposed to [...] -

Drawing up side down
11.02.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsSpoiler: If you’re planning to read and use the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain you’d probably better not read this article.
After doing the somewhat strange first assignment to awaken the right side of your brain I went on with the even stranger second assignment.
The author describes how she found that her [...]
