You wont believe how psyched I am about Sketchbook Skool!
The first semester is starting in a little over a month and I am really looking forward to it.
At the moment, I am busy editing all the videos I shot for my klass. Its not just great to teach, but I also cant wait to learn from the other lessons in Sketchbook Skool, by this semesters awesome teachers.
Im sure in the first six-weeks semester of Sketchbook Skool each and everyone who joins, will change in some way. Maybe you get to think differently about your art, or maybe youll be approaching art in a different way than you did before. You may become more courageous and do some experiments, inspired by what the teachers in Sketchbook Skool talk about.
Grab your sketchbook and a pen and lets start!

Well anyway, Im so happy Danny and I got this thing started.
Heres a video in which he and I talk about it.

 I can hardly believe its december already! tis the season to be jolly, right? Well, heres a tip to impress your christmas dinner guests with.

And one more bed-view sketch, this time in another room. The night before leaving to fly back home.

Since that last drawing, I havent touched the sketchbook. Okay, first of all because Ive been very busy and hardly had time for my daily art journal entries. But also, could it be that the book is too large? It does take me a little bit out of my comfort zone. Which makes me not really want to grab it yet, when I want to draw. But maybe, now that the weather in Amsterdam is getting better, I may take it outside to try some urban sketching and make sure I wont come back with just a couple of thumbnail sketches of the coffee I drank.

I tend to forget how remarkable it can be for tourists, how we Amsterdammers do most of our traveling through the city by bicycle. Just the other day, I talked about this with a friend who lives in Texas. There, even if you wanted to, its just something you dont do. Not just because of the large distances, but also because of crime. Huh, I have to say Im a happy cycling Amsterdammer, even more now.

Although I dont even need to get onto my bike when I have to get groceries. Just around the corner there are many shops with lovely stuff. Like this pomegranate. Makes my mouth water just thinking of it.

Last Saturday, it was Sketchcrawl day. During the global sketchcrawl, groups of sketchers all over the world meet to sketch in public together. Because I was in the South of the Netherlands, I couldnt organize a Sketchcrawl in Amsterdam like I did on the previous sketchcrawl day, but I did go to sunny Maastricht to hook up with about 20 sketchers. We met at the St. Servaes Bridge, which I drew to warm up a bit. In the right corner, I drew in the silhouet of a few fellow sketchers.
While almost the whole group of sketchers was facing and drawing the river Meuse, I was drawn towards this row of houses (facing the other way) somehow: 
Both parents of my parents were from Maastricht. I had no idea though, that when my grandmother was young, she used to live on the top floor of that very building on the left. As you may or may not know, my grandfather used to be an artist painter, and he actually made a painting of the view over the roofs, out of the window.
Of course I knew my grandfather made many paintings of the river Meuse, and of the bridge I drew there, too. After posting a photo of my drawing on my Facebook page, my uncle told me this little pieve of family history.

 Here is a little work Ive never posted the wips, well Im gonna show the steps I did to get the final animation of Parasoul from Skullgirls breathing,
Visit their page is an awesome fighting game, and is comming to PC this 2013

2. No more Bouncing, I just cleaned the lineart and I added more frames and a better timing.


3- Base colour, I wanted to see how it looks with the bouncing effect but didnt conviced me


5. Cleaned up and effects and shading added. 10 hours to this point, again I wanted to see how good was the bouncing effect on her but, it was not enough, so I get rid of it.


Keep on!

X-Mens Rogue






























I figured it was time to get Rogue out there, after all, shes a fan-favorite X-Man and a pretty powerful mutant.

Grimace




























I wanted to get a Grimace out there to go with the Ronald McDonald I just did. Ive learned more about Grimace in the last few days than I ever expected to, Ill say that. Do you know anything interesting about the big purple guy?
