Some weeks ago, I was so keen to show you my tiles that I overlooked putting them in my webshop first. And then my site software turned out to contain too outdated components for expanding the webshop, which temporarily brought me to a standstill.
But a new website is now online: www.femtasia.nl

Ben benieuwd. The biggest little farm (film/docu) al gezien? Is van paar jaar terug. Soms wat Hollywood-esque, maar zeker interessant

Hi! I had to search for the right way at first because the paper does indeed seem too smooth, but I was able to get this result by sort of ‘massaging’ the graphite in. So I go over the same spots more often. I use HB and all other soft B pencils and afterwards I varnish it with Conté’s fixative :-)

As the morning dawned with a chill and the calls of the blackbirds guarding their young graced my audiobook, I sat in my studio drawing the proofs of my Magic card.
More about the AP’s (and the Elemental Knight print) soon.
