    So I’m drawing a lot with ink and pencil to get unstuck from where I currently am. I still have no confidence, but I felt like drawing and sharing this for a while.Anyways, this is one of my favourite book characters ever - Christopher Carrion from Abarat by Clive Barker. I can’t wait for the 4th book! Oh and apparently the film MAY BE happening. Oh I’d give anything to be part of the filmmaking process on this! I can even bring coffee and tea and work for free on this! Ah dreams…(oh and I added a paper texture to this, black and white drawings just look weird when scanned)… also I’m ill. yay.

    This is my design.My drawing is so bad recently that I do this/fanart to make myself feel better. Doesn’t really work. Oh well… Gonna watch more Hannibal and cry at how beautiful this show is.

    Ghost + TeaTwo of my favourite things!If you have ever been to England and asked for tea without milk you will get the strangest looks. It’s almost a profanity amongst my friends to have tea without milk. Don’t get me wrong, I do love milk in tea I just can’t have it :(

    Trying out Wacom Cintiq tablet out - feels weird… That’s the first thing I drew (and finished) - my version of Pitch Black from Rise of the Guardians :) Next up Christopher Carrion (when it’s actually done…. one day….)

    We were very well aware of how demanding he was towards what he made, how many time he would redo a finished painting - when it would seem to him not yet finished. (…) he was the kind of artist for whom the criteria for his works were not determined by the public and their success, but rather only by his own maximal evaluation. (…)

    It is one thing to agonise and suffer over imperfection and ‘mistakes’ in one’s work in the studio, and an entirely different thing to see these flaws in bright light when a multitude of others’ eyes are looking at them. The suffering is intolerable.

    It seems to him that all the flaws he sees are also visible to everyone else (…).

    I went to the Saatchi Gallery (London) today. And I  must say this one piece had the most impact on me. It felt so… relevant.
