I'm not an artist, and neither do I have the ambition to be one. But I do enjoy drawing once in a while, and this page gives an overview of my main achievements. If you like it, great; if not, too bad.
First some smaller ones. And I'll assume you're over 16... ;-)
These two lovely ladies are about 15x15cm, black and white only.
Ah, my dream car! I've always wanted a VW Beetle, so I started with drawing one. Hopefully I will own a real one someday, whenever I decide to get a life and make some real money. Anyway, this drawing is 45x25cm.
Here's one of my earlier ones. I don't know where it came from, but suddenly I "saw" an image of this weird plant on the edge of a cliff. So I decided to draw it, and here it is. This one is 55x40cm.
This next one was kinda fun to make, not too spectacular perhaps. But I like it in its own way. It's 30x23cm. Whatever you see in it, it certainly looks back at you!
OK, back to fairies now. Here's one contemplating whatever she is contemplating. Or something like that. I don't know, I didn't really ask her. Anyway, she measures 33x32cm.
Someone asked me once: "Why do you often draw naked women?" I don't really know. I guess that, in their purest form, they represent some sort of innocent and intrinsic beauty that transcends any kind of lust or sexual connotation. But enough of those expensive words. I must admit that they are quite pleasant to look at, even when they're tucked away in a 30x30cm drawing like this one...
To stay in the fantasy realm, here's our old friend the dragon. Perhaps a bit forgotten these days, when people talk more about UFOs and aliens. But here's a rare sighting for you anyway, measuring 31x35cm altogether.
And, last but not least, one of my favorites. This guy knows, but he won't tell. Possessing great wisdom, he stands in silence forever. And all that in 32x39cm, just imagine...
Well, this concludes today's tour of colorful drawings. Hope you had fun. All these drawings were made with ordinary color pencils on even more ordinary white paper. Maybe I'll produce some more drawings in the future, if time and inspiration allow me...
