TS - A Car

A Car - Pencil, Ink Marker, Marker

A quick and very stylised sketch of a car. I had no great ideas and not much time to spare but wanted to make sure to do some drawing. So once again my trusty skechbook with pre-decided items to draw came in handy.

TS - A Pattern

A Pattern - Ink

No Ideas Today ... Oh, wait. A word pattern emerged.

Interesting questions to consider:

• How often did my Ink Pen run out of Ink?
• What is the average number of letters I could write with dipping my pen in the ink once?
• What letters took up more ink than others? Why?
• What pattern becomes apparent in the frequency of my posts?

BP - Brown on Blue v.9.0

Brown on Blue v.9.0 - Aquarelle, Ink

I originally set out to work on this today. The aquarelle spots were made a couple of days ago with no specific idea in mind. All I knew was that it might become part of the Brown on Blue series. But I mainly just wanted to come back to it another time and see what will happen with it.

Well, I came back to it today, first drawing the boxes and then starting with the dot pattern. I got a bit bored with making more dots and also didn't love the result it was having on the picture as a whole. We'll see if I come back to it some time, complete it, change it or simply forget about it.

TS - The River

The River - Ink

A little more playing around with the new ink and with patterns.

While sketching I came to a couple of realisations today.

1. I love drawing anything that I can put a box/frame/lines* around.
2. I love drawing pictures that have a kind of fissure going through them.
3. Drawing with ink has two major advantages:
1. Ink generally has an awesome smell to it, especially black in. It is hard to describe but I find it very soothing.
2. The sound the drawing pen makes on the paper -especially when a paper with structure- is wonderful to listen to.

*What ever you want to call it.

TS - INK

INK - Ink

This picture was done yesterday. I went to the art store and bought some new drawing ink. I guess I got so excited about drawing with the ink and was so pleased with the vivid colours on the paper that I simply forgot to upload the picture here.

TS - Line Scribbles

Line Scribbles - Ink Marker

Nothing special today. Just a few quick scribbles. As simple as the first row is, as nice does it look to me. The second row is a bit more "sophisticated"; the bottom left would need some axis labels the bottom right reminds me somehow of Picasso, no idea why.

TS - Wine Glasses

Wine Glass v.1.0 - Pencil, Aquarelle

Wine Glass v.1.1 - Aquarelle

Wine Glass v.1.2 - Pencil, Aquarelle

And last but not least all of them together. I think I like the first one for the depth of the colour in the wine. The second one for the shade and how the red has bleed into the glass, unfortunately the stem of the glass is a bit to fat. The third one has a nice light spot on the right and the contour of the glass is great; I used a finer brush for it and that paid off. The stem is the best as well, in my opinion.
