Tried some perspective / architecture drawing since those are two of my biggest roadblocks in art.
What you see here is about half the sketch since my scanner is not bigger than A4.

After two hours this is what I came up with and I am pretty surprised  of the result, what started out as a terrible, inaccurate and generally bad line drawing with a ruler became this after some love and care.

I think with some more study and some help getting the base structures done with perspective I could become pretty good at this after a few weeks.

Another one done, Smeagol joker card. 

These are pretty fun to make, they may not be more than sketches but I think it might work.

If and when I have created all the cards I might try to make more finished and clean outlines, nothing complex but a little cleaner than lots of sketchy lines. 




I always wanted to draw playing cards, here is a design of mine inspired by J.R.R Tolkien's world, an ace with how I vision the dragon Smaug, a rune A and a typical map mountain instead of a heart.

And mushrooms never gets old, always fun to draw and experiment with.

Just browsing the last pages of my K.E.M sketchbook number two and I keep find sketches like this with interesting features like the lines used here combined with watercolor. 

This is not exactly my best sketch but I find something about this kind of hypnotic, my eye travels to every corner investigating for some reason. 
I think it has to do with the huge contrast, the equally sized shapes and the alignment, but I am not sure.

There is something in this sketch that needs to be revealed so I can use the illusion again on purpose.

A pretty gem was hidden in my sketchbook, all it needed was some care and color to stand out among the many grey pages I have created.

The kind of sketching I do while riding the train, one can always find interesting people with the strangest characteristics to play around with in your sketchbook.

Another fairytale concept piece.
Alice in wonderland.

I feel I am starting to get the hang of this and I believe I will be able to make good digital artworks before this Christmas is over.

More fast fairytale sketches.
Little Red riding hood and the big bad wolf.

A colored sketch I doodled within 3 - 5 minutes.
 I kinda like the pastelish colors.


increasing my digital skills a little every day.
This is conceptual art for an Ashlad fairytale I might work on next semester.

So here is the first result of making a poster in the famous Grand Theft Auto art style.
I am only completely done with the head, the rest is at an early stage.
This was only a test to fully finish the style so therefore I probably won't work more on this poster.
Now I can start making my original posters as soon as I find someone who are willing to pose for reference pictures.

If you want to see or learn how I made this I posted seven screenshots from my progress earlier.


I do not own this character, logo or quote.
The caracter "Vaas" and the Far Cry 3 logo and the quote belongs to Ubisoft.
This is my tutorial / process for the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) poster style.
I took these screenshots mainly for myself so that I can go back and see what I did in chase I forget, but I noticed there are few good tutorials on painting in this style and therefore I decided to share my 7 steps with others who might find these use full. 

This is mainly a "trace" of a Far Cry 3 poster, I usually do not trace pictures and especially not unless I have taken the picture but this was an exception as I found this to be the easiest way to learn and experience the style I wanted.

Hope these screenshots can help in some way.

Here is another result of my new digital beginning.

Hopefully I will get better quite soon.

Altho I love painting with watercolor and acrylic paint I feel the only way I will ever get a job within concept art I need to master digital painting.



I decided to spend this vacation on getting better with digital painting.
Here is the result of just a few days practice.

My goal is to be able to paint in the style of Grand Theft Auto's artwork style before school starts again.

Two new entries for my little self challenge to re create stereotypes to potential animation film characters.
Here is the concept of General Sig, the meanest grasshopper around.

Looking forward to create more with this guy, I got a pretty cool idea from making these sketches too.

A quick sketch of Scrooge just for fun.
I need to focus on more than just the head on my characters for the future I see.
Trying out some mixed techniques, I mainly wanted to learn to draw and paint fog but it turned out to look more like snow to me.
I still don't get the backgrounds right but I bet if I start making backgrounds and main motives (like the monster and fog clouds here) in separate pieces I can get better results and a collection of backgrounds I can use over and over again.

I wanted to make a small challenge for myself and this challenge is to simply make human stereotypes into animals who fit the stereotype the best as if I were to make doodles for an animated movie.

So far I got two versions of a typical stoner as a sloth.

I don't have a lot to say about this sketch except I like concept of this crazy guy, perhaps this might become a character for a comic page or something some day.
Nothing more use full than creating small worlds with environments and characters you can take out and use in practical situations later.

Clyde! Some intern humor around this fluffy fella, he's been on some crazy adventures as me and my friends have made up stories while sitting on the train every day.
Kinda like his face, I think I am about to leap over to a new skill level in drawing.
