sinopia

These drawings are a bit old (they start from May 10). I've tried to gaze deep into the past and say something about each of them.

When I was younger, I compulsively drew very small. As I get older, I draw bigger and bigger, which is why it took me a whole page to draw this from a stamp-sized book jacket portrait. Unfortunate side-effect: Blowing images up usually results in a reduction of image quality.

This is the first picture in a new sketchbook. It's from Semikolon; I decided it was stupid and trendist to keep buying Moleskines when they're so much more expensive than other books.



I must have drawn this when I did the draw-yourself-at-[X]-age meme. I think this must be around age 13-14.



Upper left: A lot of the time, if I don't have any ideas, I draw little doughy Goya-like monster figures. This isn't quite one of them (too much detail in the face) but it's similar. I think he's a baker. I was probably listening to this song. (The song starts from 0:25.)

Lower right: Hee! I drew a picture of myself wearing a dress I wanted but didn't think I would be able to own in reality. It was like free therapy. It must not have made me want the dress any less, though, because later I went back and bought it.



The back of the same dress and someone I saw in St. Oberholz.



I have nothing to say about this. :(



I thought I should draw more backgrounds. Then I thought drawing some lines could be considered a background ... an abstract background.



I think I saw this person on a streetstyle blog but don't remember which.



And finally, though this will ruin the chronological procession I had going on in this blog, here's a picture I drew today. It's also a self-portrait (but that doesn't mean I used a photo or mirror for reference). I think it looks kind of Russian!
