Sverige 2014

Back from Sweden. I realize I find sketching people much more interesting than drawing buildings. Also, it was very cold - sitting outside drawing buildings is something I'd rather save up for summer. 

Last Sunday, I met some of the Stockholm sketchers for a quick sketch (about 45 min) at the central train station. Next time I will need to stay for the whole thing :-)

Fjärdhundragatan.

Thank you, Anna and Przemek for a lovely week of holidays! And IKEA, of course.

Awkward Family

Time for another sketch. This time I tackled the subject of a group portrait from www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com with watersoluble pencils. That website is a great place for procrastination and weirdness. The sketch may not resemble the photo very much but that was not the point.

Did you know the difference between Caran d'Ache Supracolor I pencils and Caran d'Ache Supracolor II pencils? I wish I did before I bought a set of the Supracolor I pencils. 

The Supracolor II pencils are waaay better! Switzerland does not only make great chocolate, but also great pencils ☺
