Sketching and Searching
EN
Happy (rainy) Sunday! I hope
you are in a much sunnier place than I am. But with rainy days, creativity is
where to kick in.
And watching movies and
series is a lot cosier too!
But today is all about my
sketching.
According to the result of my blog survey, some of you are wishing to have more sketches and drawing posts in my blog. And I agree with you.
I love to release a sketch
snap of mine through Instagram but I barely post anything about here in my
blog!
Maybe because I just don’t
know what to say about the work I have created and so hence not blogpost
worthy. Some people in my circle are telling me that I draw ‘nicely’ and that
I have my own drawing style. But to be honest I just draw without a plan. There’s
no story or feel behind most of my sketches and I just keep on drawing ‘nice’
girls without given them a role. Well, at least I know what I like to draw:
pretty girls because I can’t draw boys.
I want to have more dept in
my sketching.
So I just keep on sketching
and searching. This all might sound hopeless and perhaps a bit whiny of me but
I do enjoy sketching and the whole process. I feel like improving my skills
too! This is motivating.
A few of my heroes: Ozabu, Audrey Kawasaki, James Jean, Jacek Yerka and Lois.

Wat een natte stormachtige
weekend! Maar met regenachtige dagen, worden creativiteit geboren.
En films en series kijken
op tv is ook een stuk gezelliger op zulke dagen!
Maar vandaag wil ik even
stilstaan over mijn schetsen en co.
Uit het resultaat van mijn
blog enquête blijkt dat sommigen van jullie meer schets berichten willen zien
op mn blog. En ik ben het met jullie eens.
Ik maak graag schets
kiekjes en deze op Instagram plaatsen, maar ik post nauwelijks schetsen op
mijn blog.
Misschien omdat ik vind dat
er weinig over te schrijven valt en dus niet blogpost waardig. Vaak hoor ik
complimenten van mensen over mijn tekeningen en dat ik een leuk typisch eigen
tekenstijl heb. Maar om eerlijk te zijn, zijn het gewoon schetsen zonder een
verhaal of gevoel achter. Ik teken gewoon zonder een plan.
De meeste schetsen die ik
maak zijn portretten van meisjes en ik zou heel graag deze meisjes een
betekenisvolle rol geven. Ik wil meer diepgang in mijn werk.
In ieder geval weet ik wat
ik graag teken: mooie meisjes.
Dus blijf ik gewoon
doorgaan met schetsen en zoeken. Dit alles klinkt misschien beetje hopeloos en
misschien zeurderig van mezelf, maar ik geniet wel van schetsen maken. En ik
word er iedere keer beter van en dat is motiverend.
Deze mensen kijk ik tegenop:
Ozabu, Audrey Kawasaki, James Jean, Jacek Yerka en Lois.

Tools & weapons
Currently using Muji binder sketchbook and this here is my Chanel sketchbook which was a magazine freebie and there used to be sample mascara inside.
My most use pencils
But I'm also working with a mechanical pencil a lot lately.
And when I feel like it I scan my work with this Canon Lide 60 scanner (high school graduation gift ).
Squary works of mine
I don't know but I really enjoy doodling on a piece of a memo! You might have seen them here before.
I also enjoy sketching with a ballpoint pen every now and then.

Chosen to be framed
Recently I've bought some on-sale frames to frame some of my work. I think it's nice to have some of them shown and not tuck away in my sketchbooks.
I love your drawings, you're so talented! xo
ReplyDeleteGosh you are so talented! I also liked seeing what tools you used :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your sketches! I enjoy seeing your art on Instagram. I think any talent is blog worthy. :)
ReplyDeleteYour sketches are one of my favorites! You definitely have a really distinct style. I need to start doing this again, I used to love sketching but I stopped a couple years ago and I don't know why.

Ik vind jouw schetsen ook altijd heel mooi, erg dromerig.
ReplyDeleteEn ik denk dat je niet per se iets te melden moet hebben over je schetsen. Je kan ze gewoon online plaatsen, wat over je dag vertellen en de tekeningen voor zichzelf laten spreken.
Wow I wish I could draw as well as you, these sketches are amazing!

ReplyDeleteYou are very talented Mei! I remember when I used to draw. I still have a folder filled with some of my drawings.
ReplyDeleteWoah Mei, you are an amazing artist!
