Sketchbooks 'n' stuff

Today i remembered to pick one of my old sketchbooks (#03 c.1998), and scanned one of its drawings. Probably gonna post some more stuff of my old sketchbooks...


At the time i was receiving drawing tips from a few friends and was also influenced by Jhonen Vasquez's
"J.T.H.M."

"pocket" Drawing Compass

Hi there!

Today we have something i was meaning to do for some time, even if it's in this ruff state. If you're like me, we carry a lot of stuff on our drawing tool case, but probably not a drawing compass (if you do, good for you!). Sometimes i don't feel like pulling a Giotto freehand straight circle, and here's how to do your own  "pocket" drawing compass.


Use an old ruler and cut it half, horizontally, then drill some small holes in the cm and 1/2 cm marks (or other measure for who uses inches). The length it's up to you and your needs, mine is long enough to do a 10 cm radius circle, since i just work everyday on A5 graphic journals or so, that's good for me.



 Easy and helpful... i think.
