An Alphabet - ink & watercolor (commission)

Portrait format, click to see full pic!

I decided to go with a blueish shading and front lighting. This was a fun project, and a nice opportunity to use many reference pictures I took last week.

Nakagin Capsule Tower - ink

Done! This is the iconic Nakagin Capsule Tower building near Ginza, Tokyo. Built in the 60s it's an example of Japanese Metabolism. Each capsule is removable. The tower has fallen into disrepair, the warm water has been turned off and many of the capsules are abandoned. It's likely the building will be torn down, as renovation would be too expensive.

My 2020 in Drawings

My calendar is a little reduced since I only started to draw in May.

Thanks for letting me be part of this community, for all the great interactions, for the motivation you give me to create, and all the wonderful art you show me every day! 🧡

Organic Intersections 1 - ink

The exercise here was to pile up simple organic structures (i.e. sausages, water balloons, or whatever your imagination wants to see in it) on top of each other.

Fir Tree - watercolor

I was in the mood for some Sumi-e today. My watercolor hand is a little rusty, but I think it came out well.

If it looks as if I'm getting worse with every one of these exercises... you're right!

I will not stand for this, Sir, I'll be installing Blender right this instance!

Form Intersections 2 - ink

It's really hard to find the words that describe my dislike for this exercise. Which probably means I need to do more. 🙈

Dissections 6 - ink

Finally done... this exercise was getting a tedious grind towards the end. But I like the end result - kind of like a Victorian era botanical diagram.... 🤔 ...which gives me an idea.

Produx Multator II - ink & watercolor pencil

I visited a beautiful exhibit of retro technology today. This speed drawing (done on the train) is just the first result of the many reference pictures I took. It shows an mechanical multiplication machine from the mid 50s.
