Illustrations

Storyboard image by scriptwriter Désirée Nordlund

You might wonder why my latest blog entries are illustrated with my own drawings. Storyboard exercises to be exact.

Well, there are two reasons for this.

One reason is that I spend a lot of time to find the right image in places like Wikimedia Commons and then adapt it in size and style; time that tend to be longer and longer, since it seems I have used my favorites.

The other reason is I need the exercise. I like to draw, and I know I can draw, but am out of practice. And I’ve never had any confidence in drawing humans and faces.

So I combine two pleasures in one and use my own images as illustrations. They are no master pieces, but they’ll have to do. I prefer to spend my time drawing and develop my skills rather than searching among classic paintings for a suitable image.

Do you ever have insomnia? Do you ever draw while your in bed?

What a strange question. No, I don't have insomnia and I don't draw in bed.

But this post is rather old and my drawing quite bad, so I suppose any strange questions could occur while looking at it :-)
