Lace Doodle - Table Sheet

Currently filling a 70 x 100 cm sheet with a fine liner drawing. It's hard to keep up with the symmetry when the shape gets this big and the drawing sure has its stages of ugliness. But after drawing for a week, stopping is just not an option...

Lace Doodle

Can't seem to stop drawing as I did for Doily Type.

It's like ice skating on paper with my new set Rotring Tikky Graphic - pigmented ink - fine liners (0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 mm) on slippery Atlanta 80 grs coated paper. Original drawing size about 28 x 28 cm.

Kool

I started drawing this letter to use on a silk screen poster. I got a bit carried away on the thin-lined details. On top of that I had to scale them down for the poster. These letters didn't make it to the poster. I finished the alphabet anyway, and will figure out a purpose for them at some point.







I'm trying out a Pilot 0.4 mm G-Tec-C4, which somebody gave to me after a lecture I held in The Hague. (You see nothing of the pen since I scanned it in Bitmap, but it's nice to have a sharp line and be able to press really hard while drawing without damaging the nip of the pen like you do with fine liners.)

Dots

For a book project. Also see CMYK dots.

Update - Doily Type

Added two more C's to Doily Type today.


I make several versions per letter to avoid using the same letter twice in one word. This is the collection up to now.

WdKA bet

I received an e-mail from a student of the Willem the Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. For a school assignment she proposed a bet that she could make a letter more fiddly than mine. It made me laugh really hard. So Margriet...

CMYK dots

I'm currently trying to figure out how to translate photographs into hand-dotted images. The original picture that is worked from for first two samples is already quite abstract. That makes it hard to tell wether it works or not. The two samples you see below have different pre-press input. (See my portfolio for the end result.)

Photograph dotted with a 0.4 mm Stabilo fineliner, dotted in two densities.

Simplified photograph dotted with a 0.4 mm Stabilo fineliner, doted in two densities.


First test converting a full color image into a dotted drawing: Tijl in CMY. Nine layers of drawing in three different pen-types: 0.4 mm Stabilo, 68 Pen Stabilo and Bic Marking 2000.

I just realized that the step to make these drawings are directly inspired on a drawing by my father I recently saw on his blog. Sorry Pim and thanks!
