About

This is a sketchblog or an artblog or more precisely "what-ever-I-will-make-up-in-my-mind" blog of a one graphic design student from Lahti city, Finland. I love drawing, photographing, animals & nature, Batman, videogaming and russian nesting dolls but I hate bananas.

I own the copyrights to all pics, unless otherwise mentioned. Do not use them without my permission.

I'm always ready for work & commissions!

I made quite a bunch of illustrations for SAKU ry (Cultural and Sports Association of Finnish Vocational Education and Training) for their ALPO.fi website during last few months. Alpo.fi site educates vocational school students (…and everyone else!) to work more ergonomically and gives lots of tips for better health…Does this sound boring to you? WELL, then you should check this site out and see how to spice things up! If you know some finnish, of course. Website is made by NVL Studio.-Tein mukavan määrän kuvituksia Suomen ammatillisen koulutuksen kulttuuri- ja urheiluliitto SAKU ry:n ALPO.fi -sivustolle viimeisen muutaman kuukauden aikana. Alpo.fi valistaa amiksia (…ja sinuakin!) parempaan työergonomiaan ja antaa hyviä vinkkejä terveyden ylläpitämiseen ja elämän pidentämiseen ylipäätään. Voiko näistä aiheista edes informoida kohderyhmää olematta tylsä? Vastaus: VOI! Sivuston on toteuttanut NVL Studio.

Procrastinating with my school work again. With girls & walrus. I hate myself when the critique day comes.
-
Taas yllätin itseni tekemästä jotain muuta kuin koulujuttuja… Tyttöjä ja mursua. Toivottavasti selviän tulevasta kritiikkipäivästä.

Summary of my stuff from last year.
JANUARY: Nothing much. But I got a brief from…
FEBRUARY: ..young singer Dimi/Dimitra Salo who wanted covers to her record.
MARCH: Was a pleasant and enjoyable time with silkscreen printing and I made up this “Padre Muerte” guy. I was pretty proud of him, and I still am. I’m glad that I got a few of them sold at my school’s Christmas fair. Too bad that t-shirts with this pic didn’t last quite good in a wash.
APRIL: This kitty was made for After Effects course.
MAY: Sketches from my A3-sized sketchbook. I had just bought it.
JUNE: Originally I made this for dA’s cubism competition. After voting I was told by judges that it doesn’t quite fit in “cubism”, so it never got anywhere. Also one of my favourite works from last year. 
JULY: T-shirt that I made for my internship place.
AUGUST: I started doing some drawing challenge and I failed…again. Maybe I will continue it on someday.
SEPTEMBER: Just an interesting test work from some of my doodles on sketchbook.
OCTOBER: Skull for my website (still working on that!).
NOVEMBER: One of the Christmas cards I made. At first I wasn’t that sure of that pic and I was hoping that I’ll get a better idea for the cards but time was running out and I had to do something, so I decided to finish it anyway. Suprisingly they were selling really good!
DECEMBER: Really, really, really busy month. And it still going. That’s why I failed with this Batman calendar thing. :-( But I’m still going to make the rest of them when I have time.

I saw the photo which I took from the catacombs of Paris on my dashboard. :-) Had to reblog. I’ve said this before but it really was the most fascinating place so far where I have ever been. It would have been awesome to see more, the route for tourists was just a little part of that quite large tunnel network which lies beneath the streets of Paris. I’ve been looking for similiar places around the world, maybe catacombs in Palermo could be my next target. *sigh* Some day. I should be an archaelogist.

5. Draw more figures. Quick gestures and silhouettes. x20, with atleast 10 different body shapes. Pt. 2
Back to challenge. Here’s the rest of the figures. In reality these sketches are quite large, I made them to my A3-sized sketchbook with bamboo pen & ink.
And greetings new followers!

I did these croquis drawings on my school’s figure drawing course and I decided to try it again ‘cause it was fun. And I like to work with brushpen & ink.

3. Draw a figure that’s in action, using a reference - link to reference
Perspectives like this are challenging but I enjoy “screwing” up with them anyway. Here’s the reference.
