Progress

Sketch for the first spread of the little golden book I'm working on.

Vincent van Gogh character

I am designing a character based on Vincent van Gogh for a children's book. I created a rough model in Zbrush to get a 'feel' of the 3 dimensionality of the head. The character is in development. I am drawing different expressions and gestures, to 'get to know' the character , so I can decide what should be altered and what works.

Sketches

What is possible in drawing is limited only by your imagination. Drawing and observing the world often is a way to develop your imagination and skills to put it on paper.
Simply a pencil and a piece of paper are enough to endless learnig, imagination and fun!!

Sketch

I am working on a new book. I am exploring new directions for children's book illustrations, experimenting with distortions and perspectives. I work on this project in my spare hours, that I don't have much... progress will be slow, but it gives me the opportunity to put in some extras, that ofthen cannot be added because of deadlines, budgets or other restrictions....

Book cover sketches

Two different approaches for a book cover. I had a lot of fun exploring these possibilities although eventually the whole project was dismissed...

Portrait sketch

sketch

I often grab a book or a magazine and make sketches of the pictures in it. It is fun to do, and a great way to explore new sketching techniques and keep up my drawing skills...

This is a preliminary sketch for a painting I am working on.

Reader's Digest

This is an illustration I did for Reader's Digest. It is about the power of Google. The first sketch was rejected, since it was considered too grim. So I came up with the second sketch, which depicts google as dtectives instead of an evil puppeteer. The illustration was done in ink, and colored digitally.

Life drawing

These life dawings I made at the sessions arranged by Arne.
The male model was very expressive. He is a dance student, and his poses were very challenging.
My father also joined some of the sessions. Check out his drawings here
and the drawings of Arne here

Tijn

This is a sketch of my son Tijn, three months old now. He is the joy of my life, the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me.
