STHLM

I was in Stockholm this weekend for the first time in 3 months and it feels kind of strange.. And it feels strange that it feels strange @____@
Anyway, one good thing about visiting STHLM is that I now have some new materials!
- My all time favourite ink pencils; o.o5mm from Pigma
- Some new line art pencils from Staedtler (o.3mm), hopefully I'll have use for them.. If not it's fun and good to try something new!
- A4 paper with glue on the back! So now I can print and draw directly on them to get stickers^^ I have been looking for them for about.. 1-2 years and all I have found was small ones, like those you put to label food, books etc., and I'm really happy that I finnally found such big sheets~

Also, the reason why me and my classmates went to STHLM was to visit Perfect Fools and Great Works!

BAAAH I have a lot of shi-.. I mean, PROJECTS in school atm., and updating my blog is not in my top 5 list of things I need to do so here is a summary of things I haven't updated about:

• -My comic (posted the sketches in a previous entry) is done! I'm not 100% happy with it, but, meeeh.. don't feel like putting more effort in it.
• -One of my external teachers has giving me a list of thing to do and what not to do this mouth! A real challenge, but it's fun! Also, it have already given a positive effect~ Here is my list: Don't draw chibis or guys, draw at least one hour/day, draw stuff and environments, look at some art history for inspiration, test different materials and save EVERYTHING with a date on it. If I'm not to embarrassed of the shit I have made I'll upload some more (the girl to the right is a part of this project) here latorz!
  
• -I'm supposed to have a project in the end of my school year that is to last 15 weeks!! Hopfully I'll be in Stockholm during the time at some kind of office/company that is related to my project.
• -IT'S FUCKING COLD AND I DON'T GET PEOPLE WHO DECORATE FOR CHRISTMAS ALREADY!!
• -I now have Illustrator CS5, and by that I hope that I'll start work more in Illustrator again.

Hum.. I think that's all for now. If you have any ideas of things I should practise drawing, don't be afraid to send me a comment down below or by mail [mar.lene@live.se], don't forget to name it Bananasandwich~

GIGANTIC!

GIGANTIC MUFFIN IS HERE TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!

Well, not really..
But I'm happy, a few days ago me and my classmates got to learn one of the huge printers at our school~

Cobra Starship

Something you should know before I go to bed; I love the band Cobra Starship!
I love drawing to their colourful music and bla bla bla go check them out!!
Pictures can be fund HERE

Thinking about drawing this (the picture below) on something.. Buuut, I should probably finish a t-shirt I have already started on before I do that.. D:

"Comic"

I'm going to make a short "comic" about myself for a school assignment, and here are the sketches~

I'm also going to make a start and a end for it, and also there is text to it buuut more of that later!

Detaljer & Alpha

Today was a goood day- I both got my Alpha Brush Markes and a book, Detaljer i hemmet (Details at home)!!

The reason why it took me so long to get my new markes was because the first time I got them they were dry.. So, I complained and they said that I, of cours, would get new ones for free. The thing was they they had sent me the last ones and bla bla bla so I had to wait some weeks extra. Anyway, I NOW HAVE THEM IN MY POSSESSION AND I LIKE THEM!! I made a fast little test picture to see that they were working okay this time, and so far so good~

And so to the book.. Well, it is fantastic! I love it, love it, LOVE IT! I'm a big sucker for details and I'm sure that I'm not the only one.

The photos are really good and fills the whole book, there are only a few sentences/words in the whole book, and it's both in Swe/Eng! It's really worth the money and I highly recommend it to all of you who love details!
