flickr group! what i wore today (in drawings)

netto fruits

hmm. a dream i had the other day. it was a wonderful fruit! but it didnt look exactly like this. it has taken me a long time to finish this drawing because it never turned out how i wanted it to, so i kept changing it. hmm yeah, i dont know.

sketchbook!

jody and me in Oslo, august, vigeland sculpture park:


drawing and hanging out in kirsten's room, holmen. a few days ago.



pandita and me sleeping after the animal party, august.

another tawmonkeyposter

for next week's theme!

spiralling

i really really really love Ikenaga Yasunari's works! so i was inspired to do this! - it's a dress i've sewn recently but it's not finished, it needs a zipper. and i really love the fabric's pattern. started out as a "what i wore today" drawing, but now i dont know.

happy meal

Sascha and me, and we are loving liver paste and chai tea from Nepal. mmm! :)

Ole and his friends!

this week's theme for TAW-monkey is "Ole and his friends". this wasnt really how i first imagined it, but uh.. yeah, i dont know what happened. ugly babies happened. but now i think i know why the drawings with the ugly babies always seem so suspect - it must be because they're always naked! it might seem obvious, but apparently it never occurred to me before.. i just thought it was because the babies were so gross. hmm...

empty your pockets!

yesterday art house co-op posted a new project, the pocket project, and i think it is an interesting project, though i dont know if i'll participate yet. but i thought it would be fun to see what i actually walk around with every day in my bag, and i decided to draw it. (and after finishing the drawing there were none of the five blue jeans left)

it's harry freakin' potter!

recently i wacthed A VERY POTTER MUSICAL and it's very silly, but also pretty funny, i think. (harry is practicing his song for cho chang with ginny.)

some harry sketches

another summer break is almost over, and yet again i havent drawn as much as i could have, but here are some harry potter drawings i did some days ago. felt like drawing with pencil, but it never goes how i want it to when i colour it, so i am sort of stuck here.

sketchbook p. 11

sketchbook p. 3, 4 and 6

some of the drawings from the sketchbook i'm drawing in for the sketchbook project!

beast theatre

taw-monkey's new theme is BEAST THEATRE. Hmmm...

dryads

i've been looking through a lot of different people's artwork the last two days, and wanted to do some greek mythology stuff. (it doesnt really have any connection to why i wanted to draw greek mythology stuff, but that's how it went) so i decided to draw hamadryads (nymphs of oak trees) and pan, but the drawing of pan never felt right to me. i tried colouring it anyway, but it still wasnt right. then i decided to throw it out and start over (which i havent done yet) - but i really liked the dryads, so i cut them out and here they are:

then yesterday sam bosma put up his fifth process post on his hobbit pieces, and i was once again amazed at how much work he puts into every illustration he makes. and he always thumbnails a lot before he gets a composition he likes, and i never do that - but i was thinking that i should try it out.

the sketchbook project

I have to advertise for this project, because i get overly excited every time i think about it! it's brilliant! and i just took another look at the ART HOUSE CO-OP's website and there's so much more greatness like the sketchbook project - they do a lot of projects and the best thing is that it's for everyone!

personally a lot of my inspiration comes from watching other people producing art, and there are so many people participating in these things! that's also why i find illustration friday so great - it doesnt matter if you're a professional illustrator or if you just discovered last week that you want to learn how to paint - the energy that place is filled with and the joy of all the people who participates every week, that's really inspiring to me! just as much as looking at something artsy i like.

2nd year exam + assignments 2010

so. i guess i havent uploaded much of what i've been doing at school lately, which is probably because it's all so bad and i wanted to try and fix it before putting it out here - that never happened, and since i'm still learning i guess it's okay to show it anyway.. even if watching most of it does make my toes curl with embarrassment.

MY 2nd YEAR EXAM: i think this one is probably some of the best 3d animation i've done.

instructions: 5-8 seconds, a student has a hangover from a night of wild partying, is very tired and stretches his back when he is suddenly off balance and falls to the floor. reaction.

the following is a showreel of all the assignments i've done since christmas. i dont know where i put the other version, so this one also adds my poor skills with adobe premiere. brilliant! :)

contains: midway test, acting scene, 4legged walk/trot/run, 15-20 sec of dialogue (in 2 weeks), project quadruped (collab with the CGA line, pairs of two. they build the char/rig, we animated it, they did VFX or whatever it is afterwards. my collab partner was Birk von Brockdorff), self study (mine was fix boxlift and make new parkour scene).

chapter 18: the life and lies of albus dumbledore

I don't read a lot of books, though i wish i did, so the theme "illustrate a scene from a book" on TAW-monkey was for me pretty limited.

BUT every summer i read harry potter and currently i'm reading the last one "harry potter and the deathly hallows". this is chapter 18.
