Reporting from Munka- Ljungby pt. 2

I'm not on top right now, I've got to say. I haven't been eating properly the last couple of days or something, a bit hungover, plus I was confronted with the crude, violent population of Munka Ljungby yesterday.
I was threatened to "get my skull split open" by a group of, totally unprovoked I might add, drunk inbred bastards with whom me and Kristin shared a taxi. Maybe they wouldn't have actually split my skull if they had been given the chance, but I bet they would have liked to beat me up. Not used to that shit and needless to say I got really scared.
I've stumbled drunk through Copenhagen late at night without the least bit of trouble, and I've been to most of Europe's major cities. But I guess Munka's where the action is. I'm not going to get any more worked up, but like I said, fucking inbred bastards.

So, the short painting course I took a couple of weeks back is done, and now we're working with sculpture. A lot of fun, and hard too, just to think in three dimensions. I'll be back with documentation on the results once there are any.



This is the portrait of Nicola I was working on a couple of weeks back. I'm pretty satisfied with how it came out. The skintones aren't exactly what I wanted them to be, but I do like how the jacket came out.

Here are quite a few nude studies I've done in the past two weeks. They range from one minute to 45 minutes.





45 minutes on that last one, I really like how it came out. Great lighting and great model. Slightly weird to study a naked man for such a length of time though, to be honest.



While me and Aron where out travelling I discovered the fun of colour pencils. What's so fun is the weird, ready-made palette of colours that you get handed to you, with little or no mixing possibilities. Two samples:


The one to the left is a drawing of a couple of my classmates and the one to the right is portrait of mr. Aesop Rock. It's an Idea I've had for quite som time now, to make large portraits of my favourite rappers using colour pencils.
Long-ass post tonight, but we keep busy in Munka, both when it comes to art and death- threats. Man.

jag gillar ditt sätt att skugga, lite sådär mjukt men ändå distinkt.
inspirerande is all I can say.
