Tasted like daddy's jacket...

Stalker

Yeah, you know, those grumpy stalkers which haunt every single apartment building complaining about everything. It’s not rare to see a hand cracking window blinds : P

I decided not to count this as a sketch since it’s relatively finished piece compared with rest of the stuff here. Turned out to look quite a different than the original draft.

Emotion theme in Kupoli.net, sketched this yesterday and now I’ll draw this in oekaki. Or at least something like this.

Bassokenraali

I tried a technique I’ve never heard about before, though there’s no doubt someone has already done this. I drew only the outlines of highlights, looks a little like some filter in Photoshop. When you’re drawing only highlights you get totally another perspective in shading overall, you start looking at different things you’d usually do. It was interesting experiment.

On Friday afternoon, when I had some hours of time to kill, I headed to this corner café, Kulma, grabbed a cappucino, sat by the window and decided to draw people waiting for traffic lights. No backgrounds, not in scale, or anything special, just people standing and waiting. Wanted to examine more closely how people look in certain situations, and I think I should do more of these when I’m out in town again. It’s also nice way to train speed drawing as there are only few seconds time before the lights change and the model’s gone.

Sketch #022

Theme:Misfortune. It’s misfortune those two school shootings happened, but it’s also unfortunate that we’ve lately had this some kind of “mass-hysteria” regarding them. Seems you cannot publish images, nor videos of guns in the internet anymore. This is just ridicilous. Now they even arrested a boy who had a dream about school shooting. (Source in Finnish, Iltalehti, 10.11.2008)

True, some people are fucked up, but most people are behaving quite a normally with guns. I own two guns myself, and can’t remember killing anyone. Still some people want to make it illegal to own guns. Then I suggest we forbid driving a car too, since there are people out there who drive while drunk and make other people die. Oh and alcohol should be illegal too.

They also talk about expanding the already existing internet censorship to include violence and gun related sites. (bye bye 4chan, it was fun for a while :D) Welcome to China.

Let’s see if KRP’s Glorious Google-detectives come and knock my door if I add the word “school shooting” in tag line, oh and there are pointed guns in the picture too ;o
