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.

Rejected...


This illustration is about someone coaching an unemployed person. He's is rowing in his paper resume boat, and the coach is giving him directions.
Unfortunately the illustration was rejected in the end. On second thought they found the illustration too negative.
Too bad, although I personally am very glad I got to finish the sketch. I learned some more about textures and digital illustration...

Life drawing








Studies studies studies. I really enjoy studying life models. With everey drawing I learn more about the human figure, shapes, anatomy, and translating that into a drawing...
My good friend Arne set up a drawing class, and I am really grateful that I can join in. Check out his drawings here

penciltests





My first steps in animation.
I finally puchased animation software, so I can experiment and find out what this medium is about. It is really fascinating studying movement, timing, squash and stretch.
Having good fundamentals in understanding shapes, 3 dimensionality and basiscs of anatomy is essential to make a character move convincingly.
