Waiting for a plant to grow
Waiting for a plant to grow, with high hopes. A pencil, ink and charcoal sketch from one of the first really sunny days of the year. I had this idea to draw a single plant from seed to mature plant, but the idea got derailed for some reason. I might still go back to it.
Plant
Engelum
Testing out a new sketchbook in Engelum, which is near Leeuwarden. The sketchbook seems to work just fine. Drawn with grey ink and pencil.

How to win friends
This one is a remake of an image I made ten years earlier. This version is tons better.
Somerset drug dealers
This image was based upon a real police handout showing convicted drug dealers in Somerset in the UK. The range of faces fascinated me.
It was also my first real attempt using the very-impressive Kyle brushes, which are the best digital brushes I’ve used. The ones that come with Photoshop are OK, but these are really pleasurable to use.
Someone at the Open Draw
A pencil, ink and charcoal drawing of someone drawing at the Open Draw in Amsterdam, which Gail used to run. But not anymore.
Edmundo at it again
This is Edmundo at it again. This time in the Starbucks at Amsterdam Central Station. If you’re drawing someone who’s moving, you just need to find the position they keep returning to. Then concentrate on that.
This is drawn in pencil, graphite, gel pen, biro, and grey colour pencil.
