New artwork in my sketchbook gallery

New artwork in my sketchbook gallery

Old School Cartoon Original - Dip Pen and India Ink, Ecoline Watercolors

 

I just uploaded a selection of recent sketches and pen and ink artwork to my sketchbook gallery.
I hope you enjoy them. These are all created with pen and ink, ballpoint pen, pencils and other traditional methods. I do sometimes scan them and color them in photoshop, but most of these are also colored with watercolor, ecoline and aquarelle / goache.

These are all just fun, free drawings that I like to do sometimes to relax and clear my mind. These were not commissioned. Often I don’t even know what it will be when I start drawing.
I guess since I am working in digital art programs with my Wacom Cintiq most of the time, these little exercises also s to show myself that I still know how to do it “old-school”. 😊

Please don’t forget that I also have an Instagram channel which I update almost daily with new doodles, sketches and drawing videos.

Join me at the Musil of Rodengo Saiano in Brescia, Italy from April 10 to May 31, 2015, for a tribute to the legendary Italian cartoonist Osvaldo Cavandoli, the creator of La Linea. This exhibit, titled “La Linea – Viva Cavandoli,” celebrates his incredible imagination, humor, and artistic talent. As part of this exhibition, I have created a tribute cartoon illustration that will be featured in the accompanying Tribute Book. I am also excited to attend the opening ceremony in person.
