Black labrador wip 3
I did manage to get quite a step forward this last "session". You can see I have a variaty of pastelpencil brands I use, Fabercastell, Carbotello, Cretacolor. I also have some Derwent pastelpencils. Just above the drawing itself, you can just see my color-tests - a general paper to guide me, but the pencils have to be tested again if one uses a paper that differs much in hue.
I think this will be finished over this week, even things always takes longer than expected, and "other stuff" easy gets in the way between me and the drawingtable!!

2015 - 3 words
Maybe you already read my goals for 2015 here, but beside writing down things like this, I also like the idea of having word(s) to inspire and define the coming year.
The process of finding the word(s) can be done in many ways, there is a whole blog-culture about the item. Last year I found them by picking those that attracted me on a blog-page. This year I just kind of let them come to me. They sound much more challenging for me this time! The 3 words that kept sticking are:
Brave - Original - Inventive
This is words I would not put on myself instantly, but then a new year should be a progress shouldn't it ?
The idea of the project is to keep these words "in front of you" each day and let them inspire the day and the things you do....

Happy New year
Dear friends and followers - with this New Year Pin-up Gal I wish you all a happy New Year and a fantastic 2015 :)
Important: Facebook 2015 rules
It looks like there will be new rules for FB fanpages in the new year. I did not read the official rules, but on other artists fanpages.
You cannot write/show anything that looks like advertising on the fanpage, or you offend FB's rules.
I do not earn enough via my artwork to advertise, so I advice you to follow me here on my blog or via Google+ if you have interest in knowing what I offer for sale of my art and designs.
I like to show you when I have new stuff for sale, like this t-shirt. Please follow my advice, if you wanna see more of it :)
...............................
Det ser ud til, der kommer nye regler på Facebook fansider efter nytår. Jeg har ikke læst de officielle regler, men på andre kunstneres fansider.
Der må ikke skrives/vises noget, der minder om annoncering på fansiden, i så fald, bryder man FB's regler.
Jeg tjener ikke nær nok på min kunst til at reklamere, så jeg anbefaler, hvis du vil følge med i nyt fra mig, at du følger mig her på bloggen og via Google+.
Jeg kan lide at vise dig når jeg har nyt til salg, som denne t-shirt. Følg mit råd, hvis du vil se mere af det :)

Review and looking ahead into 2015
My annual review.
2014 - and looking ahead into 2015:
What was the best artistic experience in 2014?
• Reading “Refuse to choose” by Barbara Sher was especially helpful regarding my artwork, as it made me realize that my personality as a “scanner” (Shers definition) makes it difficult, not to say impossible, to choose one direction with my work. It also gives me tools to handle it and has given me more peace around the subject!
• My second shop on society6 - Doggyshop - started in july 2014, has been quite succesful selling and having several of my drawings selected for the official society6 shop has been great.
• Having my studio enlarged (of cause I can still use more space ;))
How about my goals predicted in 2013?
• I finally made a calender. It is my “Pinup calender 2015”. I realize I made it with this one, because the drawings are faster to make than anything else I make. The calender sold well.
• Did some work in series: I made the serie “Fun cats” of 4 illustrations, did 4 ink-drawings for “Tropical animals”, 3 whales for a whale-poster, finished the second watercolorpainting for “American dream” (Cadillac coupe de ville), and did a second drawing for “European dogs” (“Ready to go” - german shorthair pointer).
Where do I feel I grew as an artist?
• Making the “Fun cats” series was a new experience for me, mixing several drawing media, so new territory tested!
What piece of art took the most hours to finish?
• “Ready to go” - german shorthair pointer
Where did I do something new?
• Making the “Fun cats” series with mixed medias.
• Drawing with ink
• I started the blog my-doggyshop.blogspot.dk - mostly to give people broader access to my dog-drawings
Made any series ?
• Yes, look above “How about my goals.....”
How about shows/exhibitions?
• I participated in only 3 exhibitions - as for sales one was a waste of time and the other was okay. It was on Godsbanen, and I had prints and mugs + calenders and cards to sell. The 3.rd is not over yet, its the yearly hanging on the elderlyhome locally.
What happend in competitions?
I participated in a few competitions/shows. 2 put up by Ann Kullberg and being colorpencil related. I had “Valkyrie” in the Membershow and “Colorful pattern” II - giraffe in the show “Eyes”.
A couple of design-competitions from Tigerprint and Oh-deer.
And any competitions held by me?
One, but no response. It did give me the experience of what to do or not to do with competitions, though. One thing being the prize!
What will I quit?
• Trying to be able to do everything in all kind of media. I made me a list to help me remember :)
• I might close down my Etsy shop, as not much has happend there.
What will I like to do more of? What is to be goals and what will I focus on in 2014?
• I’ll do more work for decoration in my society6 shops (society6.com/doggyshop and /horsyshop and /lenedaugaard.
• I hope to make a calender for 2016 - not sure what kind though. My pin-up calender 2015 was doing well, but, I’ll see.
• I would like to be on a fair/market again with my artprints and items like mugs etc
• I want my Society6 shops to grow and sell well
• I want to offer t-shirts sold directly from me (dog-motifs)
