Bugsy's New Improved Spread

Bugsy's New wallpaper(pencil, black fine liner, watercolor)

Wallpaper(black fine liner)

This is a page I drew one night while watching TV. The spread looked a bit empty with just the bug so I decided to draw something simple on the other page. I started to draw with a black fine liner and tried not to be too strict with symmetry. First I meant to do just a small pattern but didn't know how to stop drawing until I reached the edges.

I think that the spread looks much better now. It almost looks like Bugsy went shopping for a nice wallpaper and chose this one to look at.

Sudden Sketches

Some Guy I Saw on TV(black fine liner, watercolor)

I was watching TV one day and saw this guy being interviewed. He looked so cool I had to start drawing him. I was afraid that the interview could end in any minute and took some photos to be sure I could also finish my sketch. I drew these two sketches pretty fast and added some watercolor to make the page look more interesting.

A Brief Moment with Some Tulips

Tulips (black fine liner, watercolor)

Here's a quick sketch of tulips lying on a table. I should definitely do more of these pages that take so little time and effort. Still, when they turn out to be good they give you so much joy. The only problem with these is usually the lack of courage that troubles me sometimes. I tend to worry that I somehow ruin my whole sketchbook with a bad page. Maybe I should do one really bad work to get rid of this problem once and for all.

Although this is not one of the best works in my sketchbook, I'm still happy I made it. I've noticed that with art the more I'm afraid the more I learn.

Something Different

Tractor (pencil, watercolor, waterbrush)

One day I was visiting my friend and her son Jimi asked me to draw him a picture of a tractor. He brought me his toy as a model and decided to draw one himself as well. I was a bit scared, tractors are not my thing(although I have driven one). Still, I decided to be brave and started to draw.

While I was starting my sketch, Jimi was already finished with his! Luckily this way he had the time to help me color my work. So this sketch ended up being co-operational too. I asked Jimi many times if he thinks the work is finished, but he encouraged me to continue my work repeatedly. Finally, the work was done and we could sign our work. Looks a lot like a tractor, and no wonder, I had an expert to help me!
