It started with a cool picture from the Aftenposten Innsikt, all in blues. Got that purple-ish ballpoint as a giveaway during a seminar in Copenhagen, it looked like a good match for the tint. I was keen to see the building of values in hatching. It takes time but it's a Zen thing, like building a bicycle wheel. You get into it and float away from the world. 
The original drawing is A4-size, works out Ok I must say. So much for fancy inks and pens and so on. Give me a Bic.


If anybody knows how to stop Flickr to resize everything to 1024 pixel with a rather lame compression algorithm, let me know.

Bin tiens, princesses et fées nous voilà! Donc un château dans le beau et grand cahier de dessin de Caro pour un coloriage. Et A4 ça devient vraiment ric-rac sur ce scanner, mais je serai fort. Je ne cèderai point comme disait le chêne, je ne craquerai pas pour un scanner A3. Non, vraiment. Non.
Tiens, nous ne sommes pas le 6 Février. Dont acte.

I'll spare you the whole details but I took a size. Thus needed new tele boots, new T2's. They're green, they're new, they're sexy. Bring the snow. Bring it on!

Trying a fountain pen these days, TWSBI, fine nib and Polar Black Eel.
