Yesterday I bought a book ‘How to learn to draw’ for only € 9,99! I’m obviously not a beginner, but I thought it would be a good idea to re-do the basics and to see how the experts do it. The book contains all subjects you need to know about, shading, landscapes, perspective, shaping, human body, faces and above all how to look at things you want to draw. I think I will learn a lot from this book.
Today a beginners drawing of some simple objects.

Finally time to draw, now I just don’t know what to draw! Because it has been too long and I expect it to be brilliant. Too much pressure. It is funny how you can get in your own way.
Most of my drawings I look up on the internet or look in many of my books and try to draw them, the best as I can. But even that, doesn’t seem to happen today. Maybe I just should try create my own image, but my source of inspiration had dried up.
… ( a while later)…
Phew… Found something! An old passion! Comics. Actually I still like comics. Once in a while I like to read my comics. I have a lot of X-men comics, Wolverine is my favourite. And also the Punisher, I also have buckload of the Darkness. Here a rough sketch of a strong action herofigure. I hope you like it!

It has been a while. Lately life has been living me, instead of me living my life. I find it hard to balance between all the things I have to do and all the things I want to do. Does anyone of you have the same problem?
This drawing is not my best drawing, but I had this image in my head, I couldn’t help it but to draw it. It’s not meant to be suicidal. But like “I own the night”. Being outside alone at night. No one to bother you, just you with your deepest thoughts, while watching the stars and the moon.
I don’t make anymore promises about posting more often, because I don’t know I can keep that promise. I just post whenever I have time to be creative. This isn’t really a Project 365 according to the standard rules. But it’s my project, so my rules. Even if it takes me 5 years to finish 365 drawings! It’s supposed to be fun and to stimulate my creativity, not to put pressure on me.

inThis is my very first Project 365. I wanted to do it, so I just dived in head first. After day 17 I was totally drained. I didn’t touch a pencil since I was 17 and I noticed making a drawing everyday is just too much. Having a full time job, having a social life and other passions I have, it’s almost impossible. A day only had 24 hours and I do need my sleep too.
So I started thinking. Are there rules for this? Hell no! It’s my project, so I can set my own rules. Just to keep it fun and challenging, I decide from now on, to make five drawings a week. If I have to draw seven pieces a week, it becomes a drag, an obligation and I will probably start hating to draw. And that’s the opposite of the purpose of my Project 365. We don’t want that, right?

inThey say eyes are the mirrors of the soul, they always tell the truth. And show us all our secrets and deepest wishes. Maybe I should sketch eyes on a more regular base, to work on expressions. Not the most easy task. I mean how could a line or two make the difference between laughter and sadness in a single eye?

inI am really anxious to post my first drawing. Didn’t make a drawing for years! I think it’s gonna be rubbish for the first months. I hope you can forgive me for that.
Waiting in vain for some inspiration. Only 73 minutes left till January 2nd.
