leftlings

the right hemisphere of my brain made me do it!


Leftlings in motion



I decided to had a go at animating one of the leftlings. I used an environment I created in Cinema 4D a while ago and positioned the 2D leftling (ainmated in Flash) in. I quite like the result. I might do more of these in the future.

Mirrored world



Have you ever noticed that when you draw a character performing an activity, if you're right handed the character is left handed and vice versa? This might explain why characters like Bart Simson is left handed. Weird eh?

Mail me art



This was my entry to the mailmeart project. The envelope spent a week on my desk and I doodle a little bit every time I had an quiet moment at work. I reckon about 95% of it is left handed.

Selfportrait



Me and my left hand are becoming closer and closer. We've been having so much fun that we didn't realize we were squishing the arm in between.

Thinker



Nothing like a bit of chin stroking to make you feel you are on top of things, you are in control, you are the man, you are at the top of human evolution, thinking is what sets you apart from other species, use your brain, think! What kind of bagel should I have today?

Vampire couple



Who's to say vampires can't be monogamous and grow old together? Not that they can age, but there's something charming about the idea.

Vampires are cool



I have a weakness for drawing vampires but I'm not sure why, perhaps in a past life I was either a vampire or a vampire hunter. I reckon the latter is more likely. I love garlic.

what's this all about?

    Years ago I realized that if tried to draw with my left hand wonderful things happened. Since then I've explored the technique in both personal and commercial projects. The drawings have made it to a number of printed and online publications. I've finally yielded to the blog fever and decided to give them a home here.

    In other words: I am right handed. I draw like this with my left hand.

the technique

    My technique changes from time to time, depends on circumstances, the mood and what I'm after but here's a rough step through to give you an idea:

    I've found the best results happen when I jump straight to ink. With a thin pen I draw the basic structure of the composition. With a sharp pencil I add some more texture to give it some depth. Sometimes I cheat by keeping my left hand still in midair and moving the sketchbook instead. Since the core of the drawing has been done I pass around the outline with a thick pen quickly with my right hand. Finally I scan the drawingand when I think it needs it I add some textures in Photoshop.
