--- I really like your color................

[Tom van der Linden]

Thanks bro! I just work with what I got, I suppose

[poetry man]

Nice moleskins man. I think I also saw a sketch on a "dry cleaners" page, made me laugh- drawing on anything your hand touches!

keep it up!

peace!

[Tom van der Linden]

Poetry Man: Thanks bro Yes, it's always fun to try new surfaces, especially something so "ordinary" as a dry cleaners bill XD

Yes, I guess we can speak of a "Boredom" series now So here is another one with markers. With this one, I just started somewhere and went with the flow. Nice and relaxing

Cheers,

Tom

Beautiful work

I like your portraits and what you do with those markers very much.

[Tom van der Linden]

Thanks, dude! Appreciate it. Just get some markers and let it all out!

[Tom van der Linden]

And some more markers. These drawings I used as a giftwrap for a present. Yes, it is for a very special someone She likes cats and owls, so here ya go!

Cheers,

Tom

[Tom van der Linden]

I dunno... just go with the flow

[Tom van der Linden]

Yes, some more... I'm just trying to get work through my remaining resources as soon as possible, this is just too addictive. I used no pencil on this one, everything including the hand is freehand

Cheers,

Tom

[D.Labruyere]

ha! I like the last one a lot. I think the hand could use some more work tho'. The lines don't look as 'fluid' as the rest of the picture.

[~KJK~]

Great characters!

[Tom van der Linden]

Thanks bro!

And another one I've almost used all my cardboard, so soon I'll start doing other stuff again

Cheers,

Tom

Hey there. Here's a little scribble I made of this sad crow in Hyde Park. There was something with his right wing and it couldn't fly properly anymore. So I fed it somewhat and gave it some water. Hopefully this critter is still alright...

Cheers,

Tom

[Tom van der Linden]

Yep, the last board...

[Jesus Food]

i love the scribble of the sad crow, reminds me of shawshank redemption for some reason lol or just about how thats a part of nature that we dont like to focus on

nice sketchbook man, keep it up

[Tom van der Linden]

And this will be the last one like this. Next up is going to be a portrait in this style, namely of my good friend Emal

Cheers,

Tom

[Tom van der Linden]

Ok, ok! Here's the official end of the series... I promise! Turned out to be a nice studies of hands, I guess

Cheers,
Tom

[Tom van der Linden]

Hey there. No, this isn't part of the Boredom series anymore. This is just the backside of a portrait which I'm going to make of my mate Emal. It says: "For Emal, my friend in need." He knows what I mean

Cheers,

Tom

[Tom van der Linden]

And some more handstudies... with Christmassie colors, am I getting into the spirit...?

Cheers,

Tom

[poetry man]

Those last few remind me of window murals. It also reminds me of composition practice- Including colors. I also like the head sketches.

keep at it!

[Tom van der Linden]

I've been working on this one for my friend Emal now for 3 days. I tried some new things with this one.

First of all, I did not solely made this with a thick marker. I made the facial features and the hair with a fineliner, which adds more variety to the lines. Also I tried to stick a little bit more to realistic colours with this one, keeping the abstract element mostly in the background. By doing this I tried to put more emphasis on the face, because of its "cleanliness", sorta speak. And yeah, copic markers don't really work well with cardboard... should have known that

This piece, I promise, really will be the last one in this style for a while, because I have no resources (cardboard) left anymore and I need to start packing for my dad arrives. Hopefully you like it, Emal

Cheers,

Tom

[Tom van der Linden]

Hey there! Happy 2011 everybody! Just returned from Australia, and it was awesome! Here are some plane scraps. Didn't do much really, because sitting 24 hours in a plane kinda fries your brain.

Cheers,

Tom

[Tom van der Linden]

Hey there! Yes, finally some drawings again! Here are some quick drawings to get back in the mood again, with a lovely but nonetheless very cliche subject. Always fun!

Cheers,

Tom

[Tom van der Linden]

Let's make it a daily thing, yeah?

[Tom van der Linden]

Here's a quick selfportrait I made. Just a mirror and some nice music, that's all you need!

Cheers,

Tom

[Tom van der Linden]

And some more... had some trouble with the leg and the torso, c&c appreciated

[Tom van der Linden]

Aaargh, this one took too long, didn't know what to do with it... messed it up so many times. Whatever, here it is

[Tom van der Linden]

Another head study of my ugly mug!

Cheers,

Tom

[ThomasM]

good likeness in the self portraits! Nothing to crit at all, just keep on working away and producing these daily sketches.

[Tom van der Linden]

ThomasM: Thanks man! Gotta keep this up, only way to get better! Loved your stuff too, you are a busy bee!

Guess my head is filled with cliches at the moment... Gotta go now to Gamelab #6!

Cheers, Tom
