Murin-An Sketches

November 19, 2012

Below are some sketches from a visit to a traditional Japanese garden. Has been very interesting – the leaves are turning red, which is a major event for the Japanese. And a heron came really close. Anyways, I’m way too much in love with the Machiya to pay attention to any trees. I’ll show the … Continue reading →

Dutch Sketch Meet Fallout

September 18, 2012

Some photos (courtesy of Garry) and my drawings of the Dutch Sketch Meeting two weeks ago. Was fun – we all plan to do this more often. The drawings are concept markers and then pencil – inspired by the sketchbook of Janaschi.

Octohero!

May 9, 2012

A pastel drawing from a recent sketch-session in Berlin: May it please our new eight-legged overlord! To whom this was a homage to. I’m all serious! If the octopus from this clip is not the most heroic creature that ever walketh the earth… …. and did you know they have brains in each of their … Continue reading →

February 11, 2012

Time to continue from the last post about the Opera costumes. Here are nine more designs for “Katia Kabanova” that was (playing at the Opera Zuid).

Red Pencil Witch

January 10, 2012

A little experiment with red pencils – thanks to David and Nadia for the tip. I think I overdid it a bit though … as usual. The paper got wavy from all the shading and going with white pencil over the red (even if erased) is impossible. Could be interesting to adjust my style to … Continue reading →

In the meantime I have been working on more plays – drawing hundreds of costumes based on design instructions by … Continue reading →

“Faust in Paris” Costume Designs – Part II

July 9, 2011

Next bunch of the costume designs for the “Faust in Paris” piece (part I here). Coming from usually designing fantasy costumes for games where everything goes, this is a very interesting change. These things have to work in real life – I got very specific guidelines form the designer, and partly even cloth samples. Also … Continue reading →

“Faust in Paris” Costume Designs – Part I

June 14, 2011

At the beginning of the year I made some costume designs for theater and film. Here are some for the play “Faust in Paris” – a twist on the good ol’ Faust story. The performance was supposed to be shown in Paris, I’ll try to get some information on how far that is, would be … Continue reading →

Whitewalk – Drawing from a Fashion Event

September 29, 2010

I started this at a fashion event in Amsterdam I was invited to. But the time was really really short, with the models only being there for a couple of seconds. So I had to finish it at home, and used the chance to try a bit different style of penciling. Just by chance Gurney … Continue reading →
