The Russian River- CA

So, these are some sketches I did from Photos after being so frustrated by trying to take live drawings..
The good thing is that this is the only way I can sketch myself from the back and start dieting...

and Imke, I LOVE that marker you sent me. It makes my lines more simple

very nice- fully ok to draw from photographs. i think it is a step inbetween to life-drawings...

ist it a brush you are using?( or the magic pentel-pen?)

What is the magic pentel-pen?

Tali said...

its a pen with a brush-like end.
you basically hold a pen with ink and draw brush lines without the mess.
Imke had it and I asked for it because i couldn't find it where i live

funny that this pen seems to make the illustrators world go round...
i used it for a comic-workshop i did with teenagers and they all loved it. calmed them down. literally!
( this is part of the magic :)

Heleen gave me a brush with a plastic deposit for ink or watercolor or whatever. I'm very happy with it cause you can use a brush without the mess. I imagine the pentel one is something like that but only for ink. It makes (in collaboration with Tali) a beautiful line.
