#pencil studies of legs and feet from imagination. Pencil is probably my least favourite art medium, dunno why. But I'll stick to it for now.

You can do it! Leave out the polishing, do only what your supervisor says is a must. No new ideas allowed at this point :) BR, uni teacher
#ravencomic #pencilling page 6. I've kept the momentum by drawing whatever feels good, skipping things I know I'd get stuck on. That way it doesn't matter if I've only 15 mins, I can still draw something. And come back to the difficult bits when I have the time (and the right headspace).
#sarjakuva
Started the final pencilling of my #ravencomic, on page 3 at the moment. I plan on not proceeding in page order, but rather pick what I feel like drawing. Forests, horses, people, the weird mutant animals, the spirit world, sound effects... or work on the dialogue. One massive todo list!
This is how things started, oh my.
a mittelspitz laying on a wooden floor, lookimg at the camera, one front paw over the other.
a mittelspitz all wet, being washed.
a white mittelspitz, now clean, standing in front of a dark grey wall.
a white mittelspitz, sitting in frong of a dark green wall, looking to his left.
Our handsome pupper has grown so much! He's a bit over 7 months now, and got his first proper full body scrub. He was surprisingly calm about it!

1. "Mom, I stink and I need a wash!"
2. "Cool, cool."
3.-4. "All clean!"
#gym tonight, upper body day. A really uneven and weird workout, few more reps in some moves, had to reduce weights in others. And I couldn't connect with my left arm properly (if that makes any sense). Anyway, worth going as always.
a photo of three mixed media prints / drawings of a bird wing.
Dug out the pasta machine, here are some pretty cool wings I made by first printing and then finishing the pieces using Pigma Microns (and white Poscas, but those don't really show). Slow art, it feels so nice to do problem solving and build layers.

Over (any) holiday there's a bit more time for art and making posts/videos for social media. Don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, the latter one. There's a love-hate relationship, as I suspect many have. Anyway, here's some inkdrawings based on photos of Finnish forests.
Besides playing with comics I've continued drawing figure studies of (mostly) clothed people. Here are some recent ones, refs either Croquis café or selfies.

Starting the final pencils of #ravencomic, the 48 pages are printed and panels have been lined. I probably won't start at page 1 but jump back and forth, drawing whatever I feel at the moment. Forests, horses, people, raven, toad, ... lots to choose from.

Paljon onnea!! Tervetuloa mature-joukkoon 🥳
Morning #gym before work. Leg day, reached two personal bests: squat 60kg and lunges 50kg. Only during the last sets, but with full reps. Will settle for this level for a while to increase stability & range of movement.

Raven's unconcious (dead?) head on the ground, someone singing a made-up folk tune in Finnish.
The corner of the last page saying Jatkuu / To be continued!
The speedpainting of my #ravencomic is now ready, time to move on to creating character reference sheets and final pencils. So glad things are movimng on! Here's a couple of panels from pages 44-48.

A comics spread with several panels. Toad-character picks up Raven's wings and (ew) eats them.
Two weeks since I last worked on my #ravencomic. I think I had a goal of finishing this speed painting phase by March, but by April is ok as well. These are pages 42-43, so only five more left!

I'll take your word for it! After the rain comes sun.
Thank you 😊 Could always be pushed a bit further, but I'm afraid I'll break it.

My #penstoretalents2026 drawing, I think it's ready. I have a few details in mind to add still, but don't know if I have the time. Happy about it as is, if not.
Hienoa, että löytyy käyttöä! Koitin tehä tuosta tosi matalan kynnyksen ohjeistuksen, ja aina saa kysyä jos joku jää mietityttämään 🙂
Videoissa käydään läpi dokumentin luominen, kuva- ja tekstikehykset ja niihin sisällön syöttö, tekstin käsittelyä, sivumallit, sivunumerointi, dokumentin jakaminen osiin ja lopuksi tulostus verkkoon tai painoon (sis. leikkuuvarat eli bleedit).
Innostuin tekemään suomenkielisen videosarjan Scribus taitto-ohjelman käytöstä. Käyhän kattoon jos aihe kiinnostaa tai nappaa linkki talteen myöhempää käyttöä varten. Old school tutoriaaleja iliman kikkailuja.

#gym to start the weekend. Leg day: personal bests at squat, rdl and lunge. Yesyesyes. As a result had to drop 5kg in the last exercise (leg curl), but worth it.
(This is 57.5kg for squat)
Thank you Alex! A group effort, of course :)
Took part in a local feminist comics collective Oulun sarjisfeministit's first anthology, Arki & Tila. Here's what we came up with!
Arki = mundane, Tila = space, situation, condition, status

Should've cleaned the spot algae first.

A comics panel where Toad smashes Raven to the ground.
Three comics panels. In the first something sharp is being pulled out of Raven's chest. In the second one Toad looks at something that looks like a giant, barbed nail. In the third one, Toad turns the giant nail towards their own chest.
continuing the #ravencomic by speedpainting two spreads. Here's a couple panels I'm (not so) secretly pleased about. I think I'm also closing in on the style I want the comic to be.
Only three more spreads + one single page left!

These are wonderful!

Winter/skiing holiday! Been two years since I last jumped on a snowboard, was more fun than I remembered. Stronger thighs & calfs (from gym) must've helped. Also some cross-country skiing, (ice) swimming & lots of sauna. Thanks #vuokatti ❄️
