Last Dance Cattails - finished

"Au revoir Tournesol" and "Last Dance Cattails"



Wednesday on my drawingday with Camilla, I finished the drawing Last Dance Cattails. Several interesting textures to work with. I enjoyed drawing it, and I hope you enjoy looking at the drawing.

I came up with the series titel. Fall. Beside the obvious referral to the season, and fall-mood, I also want to emphasize the melancholy I find in the dying plants. The sparrows life go on, but it is also part of the lifecircle, and will reach its own fall of life.

I like the strong focus on "the actors", enhanced by the white background. I will be looking for more motif ideas for this serie.

..............................

I onsdags, på min tegnedag med Camilla, fik jeg tegnet Last Dance Cattails færdig. Der var adskillige interessante teksturer at give sig i kast med. Jeg har nydt at tegne dem. Jeg håber, du nyder at se på tegningen.

Jeg har fundet et navn til serien, og det bliver simpelt, den engelske titel "Fall". Ud over den åbenlyse oversættelse til efterår, og efterårsstemning, vil jeg også gerne understrege, det melankolske jeg selv finder i de døende planter. Spurvens liv går videre, men også den indgår i livscyklussen, og vil på et tidspunkt, nå sit livs efterår.

Jeg synes godt om det stærke fokus på "spillerne", forstærket af den hvide baggrund. Jeg vil lede efter flere motivideer til denne serie.

Moths on Gold

I participate in the Spoonflower challenge "Moths".
I started with inkdrawings of 7 moths. I had a fun time drawing these insects, even I am a bit afraid of moths. Think I added a little cuteness to the animal :)
Then I did some small drawings to fill into the final pattern. I scanned everything and designed the patterndesign on my computer. And added the background of gold.

The patterndesign is now avaliable on my Redbubble Doggyshop in "The Zoo" collection. It is placed on a lot of stuff, from clothes to mugs, wall-deco, scarfs, pillows and more.

The challenge on Spoonflower is open to public voting on thursday. Here is a link: https://www.spoonflower.com/design-challenge/moths - you can Like and Vote on all the designs you want to.
Click the heart icon to like, and click the Select button (left side of patterns) to vote for the pattern :) I guess there will be hundreds of designs to enjoy.

Last dance cattails - wip

On wednesdays I join Camilla for a weekly drawing day.
We talk (a lot), drink coffee, eat cake or fruit, and we draw ;)

We sit at Camillas (large) drawingtable, and I work in graphite or ink.

At the moment I am working on a counterpart to my drawing "Au revoir Tournesol", as I want to make a serie. I don't have a serie title yet, but usually they emerged suddenly :)

Here is the process so far

Here is the first in the serie; Au revoir tournesol
