Mattias, I have been enjoying your sketches for some time now (I even bought your book: beautiful!), and I'm always amazed at the spatial, 3D quality of your drawings: everything overlaps perfectly in the Z-plane. The critters arms hanging over the window ledges; the tubes snaking aroung the wall; the signs and cars in the foreground. Do you do a pencil layout first, or are you just so damned brilliant you can do it all freehand?
These are incredible images, thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteyes, incredible. thank you so much
ReplyDeletecreative picture
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what kind of pen and color/ink did you use to draw that greyish (sometimes brownish) shadow along the pen lines?
Thank you!!

ReplyDeleteIvy, the shading is diluted ink black or brown. Or maybe watercolors
ReplyDeleteCharlie, I use pencil for the broad lines, but for the details it's ink directly
thanks all
