Inktober 2018

I'm doing inktober this year too! I'll be posting them to my instagram.
This year it's going to be simple ink doodles since I'm pretty swamped at work and with life in general.

It's all good tho! No worries! See y'all on the other side!

Here are some ipad sketches from Trondheim!

I haven't used it for sketching "real life" people until now...! It's pretty neat!

Inktobers from 2017 – Fanfriday every day!

I realized that I haven't shared my inktobers from 2017 that I finished and I am still amazed and horrified that I did without a lot of hassle. (The perks of not having a lot of social engagements!) It was pretty relaxing just thinking "One ink drawing! No matter the quality!" and enjoy trying out what looked best, what worked, what didn't.

I scanned them at work with a terrible copy machine scanner before Christmas and edited the ones that didn't turn out terrible. All of these are the later ones since the drawings in the beginning were pretty... yikes! I draw with an iron fist, so loosening up took a few tries. Here are my favorites! :^)

Thanks for looking!

I've been kinda low about my art lately and started knitting to get a break. I've nearly filled my first smaller 2018 sketchbook, but it's just doodles and croqus. Now that spring is here, I'm hoping to get back to good habits!!

Thanks for looking!

Happy New Year + Finished sketchbook for 2017! 🎉

Happy New Year!

This year has been pretty structured so I haven't been traveling or doing crazy new stuff. I have been pretty busy with work, learning a lot of new things and having fun in my new home office space. I fulfilled most of my 2016 new years resolutions, except for the "learn one new thing", in which I planned to learn a song on the ukulele. In the end I traded it for... JAZZBALLET *jazzhands* (I'm am still a terrible dancer.)

I had great plans about updating my blog a lot this year, but life got in the way and I haven't had much time... I hope the "new year" feeling lasts a while so I have the energy to plan some stuff ahead... stay tuned. 

What I have spent some time on this year, is my sketchbook!
Which was finished...
IN NOVEMBER.

For the past two yearly sketchbooks I've had to catch up during the Christmas holidays, but this year I finished a whole month early! I think this is mostly due to me being sick of looking at a screen and spending more time with the sketchbook... and additionally using it to sketch all my inktober sketches... which I finished this year! (I bought myself a new pencil-case as a reward!)

Anyway, behold!
Here are some sketches from the sketchbook of 2017... most were smudged from the low quality paper and pencil combo that I enjoy so much so they couldn't be saved by heavy PS, but here are some that could be saved... and isn't a bunch of nude people.

Me + plants.

A good dog + People in Henningsvær.

Various self-indulgent doodling!

People (and hand) watching.
