style change

Some days ago I went trough my old usb(it have old art of mine) and looked at some picture I made and I thought it was interesting comparing were I was then and where I am now.

This is my old work, I think I made it around 2008, got very dark and dramatic, at this time I draw b´very much traditional

.This is my new work made it in 2011/this year and i am now drawing all my illustrations digital, but I am still drawing my comics traditionally and digital.

thats all for this entry ^_^ bye

Finding inspiration

To draw you need inspiration , and you can find inspiration in a lot of different things.
If you feel stuck and don`t know what to draw look at the favorite mangas that you are inspired by( it often helps med to start drawing when I´m stuck) ofcourse it´s not easy to decide which one that is your favorite artist, I am inspirer by plenty different books.

The books I look in when I´m stuck, I admire  Matsuri Hino(Vampier knight), Hisae Iwaoka(Deapth of the dreams) and Mochizuki Jun(Pandora hearts) they are big inspirations for me.

A very good way of get plenty of inspiration is to meet up with your friends( that draw comics and have a favorite artist)and talk about the different books you are inspired about. It helped me discovering different type of books that I would not even normally look at.

At least there is  the Internet, there is plenty of inspiration here.

working late

I got a brand new desk in my apartmanet, wich means I can work late :D(whooh) still don´t have a printer and a scanner at home thou, but I´ll get that later.

Staffet serier ! :D

(Swedish only!)
Yay för några dagar sedan gjorde jag inklusive 20 stycken till eller flera staffet serier , De här sidorna är några av sidorna vi gjorde klart, felsta rutor var med blyerts men strunt i samma :). De flesta serie historiena började seriöst men det slutade med ett flummigt resultat, men det gör inget det var kul.

För dig som inte känner till  staffet serier:
Du bildar ett gäng med kompisar(desto fler desto bättre) sedan har ni klart layouten/rut ramana på varje sida
( oftast användds 2 sidor som max)sen sätter ni er med pennor och tecknar matrial i en ring, eller på något sätt så ni kan rotera sidorna. Obs alla rutor inklusive när du skrive titeln går på tid för att göra saker och ting svårare, mer pressande och roligare.Först börjar du med titels som man brukar skriva ovanför första rutan efetr du har gjort det och tiden går ut så roterar du till din andra kamrat(som har roterat sin egen sida med).Sen jobbar kamraten med första rutan( de större rutorna behöver oftast mer tid), och sickar sedan iväg det till nästa kamrat, osv.
Staffet serier är oftats mest på skoj så lek med handligen av serien, teckan även så mycket du kan på din tid, tänj på dina gränser lite, men glöm inte av tiden.

:)

Anyway here I have drawn a very basic panting of the three important characters, full body, face expression and so on( I hope I did not kept you waiting too long for this).

This color panting was done all digital in illustrator and elements( I want to become a digital manga artist), I do all my illustration digital actually but I am still drawing by hand and scan the pages in when it come to comic pages.

Flower

Much things is going on now, I´m moving out of Goteborg to full fill my dream to become a real manga artist and illustrator!

I thought as a good bye to my dear Goteborg I created a panting of a flower that´s very abstract with ink and some Japaneses letters  to my favorite café, (café Elena in Eriksberg)And this panting will be framed and hanging in the café Elena in Eriksberg ^-^ .

The panting when it is not framed, I would like to take a picture of the panting framed , hanging in café Elena, but unfortunately I finished this in the last second so I did not have time to take a photo of it in the café when it´s framed.

Web comic

I have stated a web manga now at smackjeeves
http://love-is.smackjeeves.com/comics/1238568/love-is-novel-front/

The web manga name is "LOVE IS.." it´s a drama thriller done in black and white(some screen tones too)
 This small text describes a little about the manga:
"Victor moves out to live his own life, to live a better life, but the life he has chosen is not getting any better. How will Victor handle love or death when it comes his way?"

Right now I am working on love is the novel version but after I´m done with that I will create the longer version
 I don´t want to say anything more, I hope you all find it interesting :)

Time to draw!

I went to a very good store today and updated my drawing equipment( haven't bought real pencils and papers in ages)   Here is a picture of what I bought:

some papers,ink, and pencils. I want to become a digital manga artist but I just love the feeling to have paper on my desk filld with ink insted of having all my pagers that I am workin on in my computer, But either way I want to develop more and become a good manga artist ^^ .

This is amazing !

This is amazing!
On three days I have inked and finished a hole 15 pages!! this is a record form me!(woah! I feel so great ^^)
Tomorrow I will start finish screen tones and use raster so it looks good and nice, so tomorrow will be digital work all 9 hours !(gambatsu!) 
Feels great to finish project but still... a bit sad to leave it ;_;

Sneak peek

I have not put a comic on the intent sense 2010 and i feel pretty bad about it ( I am sorry!)..

Anyway here is a sneak peek of a comic I am creating in full speed( will not be a long comic tho, I want it to be 10 pages because I have it harder to create small manga novels so it`s more of a challenge) .

My manga style has change much comparing to my older comics .

Contains
- The dog
- The wish
2. Somewhere in the middle fanzie no.02(to the left in the picture)
Contaisn
-Growing
-Alice
And they both have a color front and back(and I even change the way of reading so instead of reading right to the left it`s left to the right) !!!
But I won`t start selling them this year(sorry)  they will only be in sell in Sweden (double sorry)
But I hope I can sell thees fanzies next year

Picture form inside the  book Where it all started

Pictures form inside of the book Somewhere in the middle

Fits of all :I made thees fanzies because  I wanted to learn  how to make fanzies.
Second : I also wanted to make all these old comic I have created in two different book and i can look and see my old work and to keep moving on with my new comics and work.
I am sorry to say that I have not upload  any of my new work but thats because I want to use it for magazines, competitions and so on so I`m much more careful what I put on the  Internet.
I can`t really say when I will put up my newer comics that I am working on , but I am working on my comics !
But I create much more illustrations now so if you are board you can always look at my deviantart sometimes :)

Baking ,The Cake

Yes I made a cake for my boyfriend birthday , it was suppose too look like the cake from Portal but it`s not XD, but it reminds me of it. I don`t know why but baking is fun  and it taste good in the end (I think it makes me feel more relaxed because I`am taking a break from drawing comics) , The chocolate cake is based on a French chocolate cake recipe, and the I added a candle, some berry's and cream. very simpel

Picture of the original portal cake:

My cake is also available to see at my deviantarthttp://blueumi.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3ff2wl
