Snögar

A little bit of winter came to London today.

Travel sketches

I went to Spain for a weekend in September. Will definitely go back.
Barcelona

Montserrat

I found these old sketches from a trip I did to Thailand a few years back. Gave them a bit of a digital touch up.
Ayutthaya

Khao Sok

Skola

This is the school I went to from age 9 to 13. Good times.

Kyrka

The village church.

Farm buildings

A small farm shed. The thing on the left is a poo-transporter-device. Cow shit if Im not mistaken.
I ran out of grey ink. Turned out it wasnt such a bad thing though.

Maybe they use this big building to store the harvest at the end of summer.

Kvarn

This is the mill. I think its still in use. Maybe not though.

Smedjan

Just came back to London after a three week holiday in Sweden. I decided to do some sketches around the village where I grew up. This first building used to be the local blacksmith's, but now its empty. I also started to experiment with black ink instead of just using shades of gray.

Crouch End Clock

Working with ink pen is tricky. Since all the lines come out the exact same value and thickness it easily looks static. I will try to be more economical next time.

Old prosthetics

At the Wellcome Trust in London.

Gardens

A small communal garden behind Sainsburys in Angel. Its difficult to make sense of all those leaves when the sun is shining all over the place. Nice lunch spot though...

Rogslösa Bibliotekshus

My parents house in Sweden. I spent a long weekend there celebrating my birthday in the beginning of may.

Easbourne Pier

If you live in or around London, Easbourne on the south coast is well worth a visit. Its just an hour and a halfs train journey away.

Tottenham Court Road

Lunchtime study.

Egyptian statue

Maybe I should travel somewere else to sketch...
Tried working on brown-ish paper for these. Next I'll get some sepia ink instead of black.

Happy Assyrian

Quick lunchtime sketch at the British Museum.

Toledo

I went to Madrid over easter. We rented a car and drove around the countryside, visiting Toledo and Segovia. It was very beutiful and inspiring. Unfortunately I didnt have much time for sketching. This is the only one I did. Maybe Ill go back there one day...

Kenwood lodge gatehouse

Another house. This building stands next to Kenwood lodge close to Hampstead Heath. I dont actually know if its a gatehouse but it was next to the entrance so Im guessing it might be.

Sketching around the Thames

I went out sketching with some friends one Saturday. We ended up going from Borough market to St.Katharies dock and then back again. Nice day out!

Some old boat.

St.Katharines dock.

London City skyline with the Gherkin.

Sketching the sketchers.

Another cemetery sketch

Highgate cemetery again. Not my best perhaps. But look, its got little people in it!

Mr Clutch

Its always more fun to draw when there is some sunshine. Looks like spring is finally arriving!


Quick one while waiting for my cappuchino.

Entrance to estate

Some victorian houses around where I live.

Highgate hill

Grey neighbourhood

Victorian house

Believe it or not, this is actually a colour study. London is grey =(

More Hampstead Heath

Hampstead Heath

Ikea monkey

This one is from a photo.


Quick sketch whilst waiting for a bus outside Ikea.

The British museum

Highgate cemetery

Highgate cemetery is one of my favourite places to go with my sketchpad and camera. Its full of nice views and overgrown victorian graves.

Waterlow park

Tiny sketches

Very quick drawings from my smallest sketchpad.

Crown of feathers

Altar

In Lima cathedral.

Mummies

From south Peru. Probably Nazca or Paracas.
