Daily Drawing #1

Today I'm going to start something new. I got inspired by Melissa's blog (160 Pages). She tries to draw everyday because she wants more creativity in her life. I think this is a great initiative which inspires me to start this as well. Because I'm from the Netherlands, I will write the text, notes and dates in Dutch. Here is my first post:



My drawings will contain monsters, fantasy creatures and so on because I simply suck at realistic drawing. I tried a few times but I fail, every single time. This doesn't mean I will never draw something realistic again because I realy want to learn it! But every one has got their own style, and I think this is mine.

I hope you'll enjoy this new, creative journey of mine and that it will inspire others to join me!

Lativia

In from 2004 till 2007 I did a lot of drawing with my little nephew. In that time, he was a huge fan of Pokemon and monsters so most of the drawings were about Pokemon or monsters. Most of the time when I was with them, he came to me and asked: "Kathy, lets draw some more monsters!" And so we did. Here are two creatures I made: Lativia. The first one is when it's young, and the second one is when it's grown up (see it as a pokemon evolution):





These drawings are still blank. I'm thinking about colouring them, so you'll might see them back again in a later post.

In that time, I also made my nephew a 'Monsterbook'. We were drawing little monsters which I cut out and pasted into the book. It was so cool! I should ask him if he still has got this book, so I can scan it in and post it here. Stay tuned!

Baby Pictures

Oh my, it's so strange to see all these pictures for the first time in my life! A few months ago I started this 'quest'and now I'm continuing: Scanning in my babypix!

"Dad, you should get all our old pictures from the attic so I can scan them in" I said to my dad a few months ago. The next day, a big box was standing in my room and when I opened it, I saw all these picturebooks. Some were realy, realy old! I started scanning and exploring all these old pictures. One of the books contained pictures from my father's childhood and another one contained all the weddingpictures from my aunts and uncles.



Right now, I'm scanning in the last album. I'm at the point where we were 2 years old. We? Yes, we! You see, I'm one of an identical twin! It's pretty annoying because at some pictures I cannot tell if it's me or not,hahaha!








Something which keeps me amazed is the fact that I'm on the picture, but I cannot remember when this picture was taken. Pictures are like memories, which can be touched.

Fantasy Creature 1

So, I love to draw! Every once in a while, the draw-virus catches me and I start drawing like hell. It started when I was little and right now I realise what triggers this virus: inspiration. The past few months I stumble a lot trought blogs from other creative people and sometimes I get to see some very cool stuf. This inspires me and makes me want to draw too.

So here is a drawing I made in 2007. I can't remember when exactly, I only know I made it while I was at Aruba. I did my internship over there so during those six months, my room-mate inspired me very often ;)



So, what do you think of it?
