Freckles and Combs

I don´t just love to draw girls with tattoos,

I also love to draw girls with freckles, so here´s

a little summertime piece I did in one of my

notorious nightsessions. As usual, it turned out

completely different than I planned, and by "planned"

I mean "I just started drawing something and went

with whereever I was going with it". I´ve used color

a bit differently than I usually do - there´s a 

background color now!

And here´s another double page I did in the last couple

of days. I call it "Kammhund", which is a terrible

pun on "Kampfhund". At first I was struggling a lot

with this piece, especially the head, but as usual for

me the ending phase really turned things around a lot.

It´s interesting how my initial drawing phases
look very weird, and I just keep working on it

until it looks like something useful, and after

quite some time I really tighten it up.
This usually means that I´m only really
happy with it in the last 10% of my time working
on it - especially since I´m obsessed with
details, and at least for me these little things
make a huge difference on the expression
of my drawings.

I feel that whenever I have a lot of projects going on

is when I´m the most productive and in turn

the happiest. I really enjoy working on these

things like a maniac, up to the point when I

don´t even mind sitting in front of a computer

screen when it´s perfect sunshine outside

(at least I can do some balcony breaks or

go riding my old rusty bike from time to time).
I guess that confirms my long-time suspicion
that I´m a huge nerd, but I guess myself
and everybody else already knew this
all along.

See you later,

Frederik.
