So I'm blogging in the morning for once :) 

Here is some sweet wake-up music.

I think there are two types of people when it comes to music;
those who listen to the lyrics and want a meaning with each song.
Some people I know love sertain bands but can't listen to some of their songs just because they don't "agree" to the lyrics or whatever.
I'm the exact opposite, I couldn't care less about the lyrics.
For example one of my all time favourite bands - Rammstein sing in german of course.
I don't understand half of the lyrics I just love the music and the singing and the mood.

The same goes for anything I listen to, Kent (who is in the first video) sing in my native language but if you asked me what their songs are about I couldn't answer, because I just don't think about it.

I imagine the first category of people - the "lyrics listeners" are mostly into rap, hip-hop, raggae, pop, RnB etc. My category the "music listeners" are into rock, metall, techno etc.
This is of course a large rationalization and not true for everybody or maybe just half-true, but in general I think this is the kind of music the two "groups" lean towards.

Here is another awesome song that I heard a long time ago but just got reminded of.
Lay down - Pristess, you guitar hero fanboys out there might know this one :)

So what do you think? Do you also think there are two types of music listeners?


I'll see you around :)

Back at the gym

So I've been ill for a while as I said before. Today was the debut at the gym and it felt good to be back. What a terrible workout though, felt like I had applesause in my arms. The diet in combination of beeing sick and on medication took it's toll I believe. I'll be back on track though very soon :)

Tomorrow I'll start the power walks again and I plan on doing some long distance running too.
Not so much more to say I suppose, have been playing guitar hero for hours and beeing all around lazy.
Until next time guys!

Do you watch game of thrones? This was clearly the best quote from the last epsode.

Hello blogg

Was a while since I last wrote here, have been away over the weekend to Stockholm with some friends.
We watched the Dreamhack Eizo Open Starcraft II tournament which was very enjoyable, you have probably heard of starcraft if not it's a real time strategy computer game.
A swedish guy won and the crowd went wild, was a special feeling to be there, really enjoyed it.

Here is a short clip from that:

So a small update on my diet.
Have been a little sick the last weeks so couldn't work out or anything as I wanted.
As a result I'll probably have to extend my diet for 1-2 weeks.
I seem to have lost like four or five kilos already wich is really nice though.
I hope I can keep it up.

I don't have a new drawing going but I will probably pretty soon.
And of course it will be posted here.

Have a nice day everybody!

Jennifer Lawrence done :)

Wow I had forgotten how fast it is to make an A4 portrait! After "struggeling" with large A3 pieces and watercolour and stuff It was nice to be back on "home turf" and do a more comfortable piece again.
So here it is:

And yeah I still don't have a decent camera so sorry for that...
Jennifer Lawrence from the big hype movie "The Hunger Games". I haven't actually seen the movie but I just thought this picture was nice for a portrait.
This movie better be good now!

Decided to take many wips this time :) As you can see I make it darker and darker all the time. When it is as dark as I want it to be I use a rubber to mark out highlights.
Hm what more to say, hope you found this intresting and I hope you liked it :)
Comments and critique is always appreciated!

Good evening folks!

Wip 2

Here is my progress so far :)

As you can see here quite clearly is that when I do hair I first just shade out darker areas like I have here. Later on when the shading is all done I go over it with a sharp rubber and "erase" out highlights in the hair. Darker hair like those popping out a little here and there is easily done with a normal pencil. My next portrait is definitely going to be a guy with short hair xD Long hair is so tiresome most of the time.
The most fun part is of course the eyes and the face etc. Hair and background is most times just boring.

I expect the picture to be done tomorrow or friday so keep an eye out here :)

P-p-p-p-ooortrait time!

Oh well time for yet another portrait I suppose. What am I doing with my life?

If you can guess who that is by this picture I would like to congratulate you, I can barely see myself at this point.

So some of you may wonder what kind of tools I use when I do a normal portrait (A4 graphite).

Some fancy drawing paper which is a bit more "rugged" than normal let's say printing paper.
Other than that just a range of graphite pencil with various hardnesses, a mechanical pencil, a normal rubber, some paper tissue and a small (whatever it's called) "paper-pen" for evening out small surfaces.

See you around bitches!

Battleship

So I saw the movie Battleship today. For those of you not familiar here is a trailer:

Another motion picture from Hasbro, the company behind Transformers. Battleship has many similarities to the previous mentioned movie. A monstrous amount of destruction, shooting and fighting going on.
And yeah this probably is a guy flick, if I may be prejudicious.


So the story is basically that alien ships are launched to earth and they establish force fields which can't be penetrated by any kind of vessel or projectiles.
Three hunter ships are traped inside the forcefield though and it is up to them to try to defeat the aliens.

Battleship was both pretty entertaining and ridiculous at the same time.
Many holes in the logic etc but there were many factors I liked as well, which I can't tell you about without spoiling the movie.

Over all a pretty intresting movie with much action, humor and intensity. I thought it was worth watching.

6,5 out of 10.
