1000;10000;100000;0000...00000
Lost the count...the first project of the 3rd year illustration scares the hell out of me. How possibly should I complite 1000 drawings in 5 weeks. I'd have to do 28.571428 drawing/day. Well....it must be do-able if it was given. Now, looking at the masters did you know Vincent Van Gogh in his dramatic 10 years complited more then 2.000 and pretty much all that survived are amazing, Picasso- around 17.000. All the great art people produce,produce and produce. Diamond won't shine until you polish it.So I'm on the quest.
Here you can have a look and comment or suggest your tips on how I could improve.
My first museum was Horniman's....and it was quite difficult to draw there as the galleries are very dark,but its a nice versetail collection and anyone can find something for themself. 
The next attempt was
Museum of Childhood. The nice part is
that is
close to
where I live and
they have carpets..The kids
around do not
bother me as
they can
become a
good motivators of
your art.


The last place was
V&A.
Oh...how I love
this place.
It's
fairly empty in
comparison to
any other tourist distenation in London and
like Horniman has a
colection that consist of
everything. I
have choosen the
sculpture gallery as I
find it challenging to
draw humans.
Now.
It looks like I'
ve enjoyed this the most and
now have a
task to play
around my
sketchbook to
create more filled composition of
its white
pages.
So what I
did first was to look at
some sketchbooks like one of my
favorite street art
guy's
Blu.
Even his
drawings are animated.
Simple clear lines create a
whole narratives out of the white
nothingness.
Another one
with a bit
different character is
Sam Vanallemeersch's sketchbook available on
Flicker. He
fill's out
every and
any free space of the page
makeing you wonder what happens beyond the
edge.
However the
uncoloured spaces of his
illustrations give a sense of
freedon and
suprise.
Almost like cartoonist he
comments and
tells the
stories of his
observations.
So. Am I
able to
develop my style
like these two?
You bet I will try! My
very own sketchbook full of
convincing pages which you can't stop
flicking until you see the end...nice))
Aaaa...and
something what my
illustrator friend tiped me
about:
drawing tutorials on-line.
Some of
you may find it useful. I do.
