Taking a break?

This week I’ve pondered about the importance of the short break. I guess I’ve written about it before, but maybe there will be a new angle here, or a piece of a new angle...

I’ve discovered that when I’ve taken a short break, I often get new ideas and tend to see my project from another angle. I think that a short break fuels the creativity and gets you more creative, and let you try out new ideas. Because if you hadn’t taken that break, you just might have continued in your own footsteps or as you previously had thought, and not gotten that idea that will turn your project into a smash hit!

That’s why I’m enjoying some days where I’m not working on my projects at all and is content with doing nothing!

Take care!

P.s Well... earlier today, I finished two new sketch books, so how about that break, eh...!

The winds of change are coming...?

Some changes might turn up for me in the near future, that might affect this blogging activity of mine. One of these changes might be that my weekly updates might be semiweekly or whenever-I-can-weekly...! To tell you the truth I don’t know if this will happen. Maybe I will continue with the updates, the future will tell!

I’ve had this blog with weekly updates now for about four years, and maybe it’s time for some changes...

Take care!

P.s And yes, you guessed it! I’m still designing the characters... I don’t know if I’m slow or if this is how the process is. Sometimes I feel like I’m as fast as a snail...!

A new grip on the pencil!

In my design process, that is still ongoing...! I had some pictures of actresses that I thought was spot on, for my various female characters to be designed. First off I have to declare that I am not a portrait artist! But for the sake of the design process I took the bull by the horns! And it was tough, real tough.

My drawings wasn’t nearly as close to the character of the person as the picture was. But something happened...when I was nearly done and I thought that I can at least do one more, before I call it quits. For some reason I gripped my pencil on the upper half of it, thereby loosing control of the tip (kind of) and therefor not being able to control the drawing, and therefor the drawing came out better; than the previous ones!

Last week I tried it ones more and it kind of works. When I hold my pencil as I usually do, I tend to focus on the details, but by holding it this way I can’t really control it and I let go, and the result is better for it. So, try it out!

Take care!
