Just another try with the new scanner, got a bad cold when I was in London and have not bin drawing the last couple of days.

New scanner

2012-01-19T20:20:00.000+01:00

I finally bought a new scanner and this time it's an A3 one (the old scanner had started showing some ugly banding in the images). One problem is that it takes up a fair part of my studio. This is an old sketchbook spread from my watercolor sketchbook.

Regalia

I visited the Victoria and Albert museum while I where in london, I could probably have stayed there for the whole visit but my children prefer more moderna pastimes. I draw these from memory afterwards the originals are even more outrageous. I had planned a visit to the Soane museum as well but the que was to long when we reached it, maybe next time...

Taking a break from the detail stuff.

Night flight

Finally finished, I guess it will be some before I venture into something like this again. Here's some details of all the details

I can't stress enough the importance of an ergonomic chair..

Remember the Iphone works great as a backup system (using the right app that is)

A great sound system will help shorten the time spent travelling

The logical conclusion

2012-01-09T10:01:00.000+01:00

Almost finished with the spread, I think this is as far as I will go when it comes to details. Going to London with my family next weekend is there someone who has got some suggestions what we shouldn't miss?

Rotation

2012-01-08T13:35:00.000+01:00

I have to rotate the sketchbook in order to draw the details on the roof

the co pilot

2012-01-05T14:08:00.002+01:00

some more ink on the paper, I find it really hard to take good photos of the book.

Refueling while in the air

2012-01-04T14:36:00.001+01:00

Or more correctly, re-inking (the ink in the pen needed recharging)

Modus operandi

2012-01-04T10:14:00.001+01:00

Same procedure, I must be dense. The smaller spread just didn't have enough details..

Illustration made for New York Times magazine, I think it ran a couple of days ago.

Finished thei image, the process was wonderful like a morning mantra during the weekend over christmas. Scanning was a pain eight scans to get the complet image and still I had problems fitting it all together A zoomable version of the spread

Toying with the idea of making an interior to it

Happy new year

As people have asked I let the ink bottle be part of the image (it's american eel from noodlers ink, hard to come by on this side of the pond)

Sixteen minutes of drawing speeded up to four, the sounds are our dog barking (sorry about that)
