More croquis and pastel freestyle

Finally back to the Animation Workshop! We haven't been there for ages, but now we get to be there for three weeks :) Of cause we started out with croquis and quick sketches:

Another family trip: Hjerl Hede and another horse

On the last Family trip I made some sketches of the lovely Open-Air Museum Hjerl Hede.

 

And here is my tribute to the wonderful day of Halloween :)

 

 

My Little Pony Halloween Transformation!

Today I began my new hobby: painting old My Little Ponies! This particular pony is actually from my mothers childhood and originally calles "Peachy". I wouldnt dare to remove all her cuteness, so instead of a full halloween make-over I decided to make her a bit more creepy-cute.

Adorable, isn't she?

Of cause I found my black paint and sciccors right away and began my evil experiment.



Look at that pretty pink mohawk!

I decided to give pink / purple eyes and a skull as her cutie-mark. Here is the final results:

From "Peachy" to "Candy Skull" :)

 

 

If I am able to find some more ponies to paint I will experiment with more scary and evil-looking transformations during October. Happy almost Halloween!

Family trip and ocean sketches

Yessterday we were on a Family trip to the Southern part of Jutland and the boarders of Germany. It was the perfect occasion to bring my sketch book and my pastel blocks. I only made a few sketches, since we spent most of the day in the car, but here is what I made:

 

Vidåslusen near the Wadden Sea.

A part of the backshore on the Danish island Rømø.

Not an actual place, but just a sketch I've finally finished.

Pastel Practice, the Tamil Case and more!

More pastel drawings! I simply love my new pastels >^.^<

I found a lovely park in Viborg :)

We have been learning about immigrants in Denmark during the 1960-80's, which is actually quite interesting. One of the most important parts of this is the Tamil Case, which is a case about Family reunification of Tamil refugees from the Sri Lankan civil war in the 80's. When we were told to make a drawing of what happened during the Tamil Case and this is what I made:

The Tamil refugees are running for their lifes in the search for shelter and safety but the door to Denmark has been locked and Denmark is pulling the door to make sure that no one enters. Exaggerated, I know, but that's how I see it.

And more freestyle drawings:

Freestyle and some school work

I bought a box of pastels the other day and I have had a lot of fun playing with them. Besides I have also been using water colour pencils. Here is the product of the last few days:

 

 

Recently we were told to make a quick cartoon to a text we read in religion, about Muhammed and his life. The first drawing is Muhammed walking through the dessert. On the second one he is preaching his "new" religion. On the last one he finally reaches the throne of God:
