But don't worry, I'm not leaving ya :p<br />
In fact, I'll be sharp as a shark! Focus is key and sometimes one must make decisions.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is actually the first page of a new sketchbook I'll be using on my saturday morning sessions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've not ever worked on any of the <a href="http://www.stillmanandbirn.com/delta.html" target="_blank">Stillman & Birn</a> sketchbooks, but the paper feels nice and stiff. It seems thick enough for watercolor and the ink of the pigment liners I use doesn't bleed. (Faber Castell PITT artist and Staedtler)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, I used W5, W3 and W1 Copic Sketch markers for the decoration of the big S, and it does bleed through the other side of the page a bit.That is quite disappointing to be honest, but what do I know about paper. Maybe this is to be expected when using this cold pressed watercolor paper. I'd like to know if there are sketchbooks available somewhere of which the paper doesn't bleed through when using copic markers.If you have thoughts on this, please share them? I'd really appreciate that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I also noticed is that the first 2 pages have a linear mark in them, as if the paper has been bent when being bound. It's not that big of a deal, but for a sketchbook that costs double the price of a Moleskin, I'd dare to expect exceptional quality. First impressions are important. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is something special about starting a new sketchbook. It always put's me in a
somewhat dreamy mood. As if subconciously, I'm already wishing it was
full, because it would mean the experiences represented by each page
have been lived. A new sketchbook makes me hungry, curious to what will
come, and eager to live. Rock on!</div>

<br />
Then I hugged my wife because today is a very bad day.<br />
<br />
My thoughts are with the families that lost their loved one(s), and with those that are suffering terribly now, struggling to survive the Paris masacre.<br />
<br />
I say no to violence.<br />
It's driven by hatred and it's never a good answer.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwGE-jurM0ME1iXtklw6qft_df1IutG3_fY_J2IF1PbHNsEVcUo2PVQPDcdPn_S4oqeZjWehGvBTcJQxpjeS91U-AG3BaLvgImvPIDon6297VSu3tDBfZjiHfEqc7DdVUvZXc3I-cobZLe/s1600/TrialandError_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I reworked the design in an effort to solve the problems that the first design had. The spacing between the 3content blocks is now even. Then there was the problem within the word "TRIAL", where the letters were causing some unbalanced effect due to the nature of their form. I've resolved that simply by turning the letters 90 degrees. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another issue the previous design had was that the width of the letters wasn't consistent due to the serifs being added incorrectly. While the height of the word TRIAL is a little less than the height of the word ERROR, the composition feels a lot more balanced.</div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Learning
a craft is all about trial and error. It is by making mistakes and hopefully
learning from them, we become better at what we do. The goal is to get certain
actions, methods and principles in our long term memory. This can only be
achieved —at least in my case— by repetition. A master has all this knowledge
stored in his (or her) long term memory.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I
used to think I was a slow learner. Maybe I am, but as I grew older and more experienced, I've stopped comparing myself or my work to others. I’ve come to learn that it
simply takes me a lot of time to get something in my long term memory. It’s
like the connection between the short term memory and the long term memory in
my brain are unstable. It’s not an
issue really. It just means I need to be patient. And practice a lot by trial
and error.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">With the above design for that sketchbook's cover, I have a few problems to resolve. First of all, the spacing is unbalanced. The word Error is too close to the ampersand. Then there is the way the letters of the word Trial are not as evenly ordered horizontally as the letters from Error. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I drive
80km per day to go to work and back home. Five days a week. That’s 400km a week
or –with holidays subtracted- more than 18000km a year. And I’m not alone!
There are a lot of people commuting between home and work by car. It’s actually
a problem that has triggered every political organ to come up with solutions.
And while in fact, the solution is as simple as 1 +1 = 2, nothing changes. At
least not in the right direction. As simple as 1 + 1 you say? Yes!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Let’s quickly
analyze…</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
The problem is there are too many cars causing traffic jams, pollution,
increase of cancer etc.<br />
While I really like cars -they are examples of beautiful innovation- <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m probably not making many friends by saying
this, but there are too many cars on the road.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">While our government
is increasing taxes for everyone who owns a car, I think they aren’t really
trying hard enough to change things. What we need is a change of culture. The habit
of getting in the car, drive to work for an hour or longer and back home 8 or 9
hours later must be broken. By just making it more expensive, people aren’t
going to change. They will moan and complain, but will just pay the extra taxes
and continue to use the car. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The solution</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So the
solution is to reduce the amount of driving cars. Less cars on the road is less
of the above, but more importantly: more space for other, healthier and cheaper
transportation methods. There are many things the government can do to change
things, but I will not elaborate on those. Instead, I think the best thing I
can do to change things is to change myself and hopefully others will follow. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The perfect
way for me to do this is by going to work by bike.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Excuses</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’m
convinced that if this didn’t take quite some mental preparation (and for some,
physical training as well), a lot more people would leave the car at home and
go to work by bike. So the actual problem is motivation. Sure, there are plenty
of excuses to be made: it’s too far, I don’t have the time, it’s too cold, I
need to fix my bike, or I’m too tired, too old, too this or too that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are all excuses we can do something
about ourselves. Why wouldn’t you go to work by bike? Address those reasons and
try to find a solution. Maybe there are no showers in your office building or
no space to change clothing? Is your company willing to invest in better
accommodation? Does the problem begin with you? Do you think it’s too much
hassle? Perhaps you think you have nothing to gain by going to work by bike.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">One excuse
that I have to agree with is that it’s quite dangerous.<br />
This is where the government has a true obligation towards their citizens in my
opinion. The first change that must occur is improving the infrastructure. We
urgently need infrastructure that ensures a safer way to cycle. Better cycling
paths, preferably separated from the road, are mandatory. Asphalt is the best
type of road for cycling, yet I have to ride on roads where the cycling paths
are in such a poor condition you need to focus not to fall. Cemented or tiled
cycling paths are not the way to go because they are unstable and cause
cavities or cracks that are dangerous. </span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Cycling
paths also need to be clean, so people are motivated to use it instead of
riding on the road. A clean cycling path invites the cyclist to use it. He/she
will feel like the community is pampering him/her. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went to work by bike twice this week and I
had 2 punctured tires. The amount of debris on cycling paths is ridiculous.
Small stones, glass, nails, leafs, tree branches, mud and what not are spread
all over each cycling path I use these days. As soon as you leave the cycling
path to save your tires, you will have car drivers honking their horn, driving
very close to you as they pass you or even deliberately block your way, because
they feel no cyclist should be on the road. Surely, this cannot possibly be the
standard? I’ve not really had a discussion with a car driver yet as a cyclist,
but I plan to suggest them to take the bike as well. Then there will be plenty
of space on the road for both of us. And guess what? No pollution and a lot
less pollution on the road.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On top of
that, I should mention that when you plan to cycle to work, you should really
always wear a helmet, reflective clothing and have plenty of lights. It’s
better to be considered a Christmas tree, then not to be seen at all. If you’re
not seen, you will end up in a hospital or worse sooner or later.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Still, all
of this doesn’t bring me down, here’s why:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
advantages</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
It’s 35km single way to work from where I live, and there’s a lot of climbing
to do, so it takes me about 90 minutes to get to work, but fortunately we have
showers at work. When I arrive at my desk, I am in a different modus than when
I ‘ve taken the car. I have more energy, I work faster and more accurately. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Also, when
I get home around 5:30 or 6 pm, I’ve had 3hours of exercising already and I
still have my evening to do whatever I want. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Last but
not least, by cycling once or twice a week to work, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I save money</b>, I lose weight, and in the end I feel much fitter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Investing in
a better future</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So because
I did so well this year already (+2500km, not that much for the experienced
cyclist, but it was my first year after 6 years of inactivity), and because my
old bike was in need of repairs, I bought myself a new bike. </span><span lang="FR-BE"><a href="http://www.thompson.be/"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Thompson</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> is a Belgian brand. They make beautiful bicycles. I can highly
recommend them. Here’s a picture of my new alu horse. It’s the best investment
I made this year!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ever since our children were born, my wife and I cannot recall not ever feeling tired. Now that isn't completely true. What we mean by that is that we generally feel tired. When we wake up, during the less busy moments of the day, when taking a break from what we are doing and so on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
How to deal with ever lasting fatigue</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the fatigue is there and it doesn't seem like it will be gone any time soon.Yet, there is so much work to be done. I've got several projects I'm working on, life painting sessions twice a week with now even a minor sculpting class this year. I have to study for an examn that I'll take in december (sorry, can't tell you more right now). Work is very busy too. Then there's my lovely family. They deserve some attention too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Acceptance</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first thing to do is to accept the fact that I'm tired, and that it will last forever. The only thing I can do about that is to sleep as much as I can. In reality, this means maximum 7 hours of sleep and more often than not with 1 or more interruptions per night, thanks to our youngest toddler. It's said that people need less sleep when they get older. That is untrue. People just learn to deal better with fatigue as they grow older.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />I've learned to accept the fact that I'll always be tired. Accepting this has made it possible for me to deal with it in such a manner that it doesn't overtake my life and stops me from being creative or from doing the tasks that must be done, even though I don't like to do them. I've embraced the fatigue and made it my friend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Time Management</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Efficient time management is key to avoid that fatigue will take over. There are only 24hrs a day and I need 7hrs of sleep so that leaves me 17hrs per day to do everything I must or want to do. Planning my activities is great because the time allocated for these activities is scheduled. I share my calendar with my wife, so she is aware of the things I'm doing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are 3 types of activities that I generally do: </div>
<ul>
<li>things I like doing, </li>
<li>things I don't like doing (but must be done), and </li>
<li>places or people to visit.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For most people, it will be obvious that the places and people to visit are put in a calendar. This way, our electronic tools can remind us in time to make the visit. We don't forget about them while we don't need to keep them in our mind and there is more room in our head for other things.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The things that must be done are less likely to be postponed when scheduled. Say you need to clean your terrace with the high pressure cleaner, but you really hate doing it (meh = check!). You know that it takes you about 90 minutes. You will less likely stall and do it on the day and moment you've planned it if you've scheduled for it in your agenda.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The things I like doing must be scheduled in my agenda or there is a high risk that they will not happen at all. Every monday and tuesday evening, I've scheduled life painting class. It's been like that for the last 6 years and while the days of occurrence may differ from year to year, I keep scheduling 2 evenings a week for this, because it's extremely important to me. Our youngest daughter still has to come to learn this, but the other members of the family are used to it. Drawing or painting time on other days simply does not occur if I don't plan it. There is always something else to do around the house: watching the youngest kids, cleaning, making food, helping with homework, and what not.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Fatigue is my best friend</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So when I'm tired or not, I plan my activities because they have more chance of being done and more chance of being done at the time I want them to be done, then when I don't plan. Weariness is always there, but it doesn't stop me from being creative. My creative time is planned and when inspiration occurs, it steals time from the less pleasant things I have to do, rather than the other way around. I am in control and I deal with my fatigue efficiently.</div>

I bought some blue W&N ink. Lovely little glass container, nice light blue chroma. It takes a little getting used to though. What I like about this is that you are forced to think about how much ink you take on your pen more than you would using black ink, as it's a lot more visible if you've taken too much or not enough. I can't wait to try some other inks now.<br />

I was 2 minutes in my lunchbreak today at work when my boss came in. The lunch break was over.<br />
I bought these Pilot parallel pens and I'm practicing with them during my lunch breaks. It's great fun and I hope to be able to show some stuff soon. In the mean time, here's an inked version of the one I posted the other day.Johanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02417615368000033233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924117767102652574.post-682417632744628512015-10-26T19:00:00.000+01:002015-11-01T19:38:16.507+01:00Today is a perfect day to createIn fact, every day is a perfect day, but what I wanted to emphasize is the fact that today, we have. Tomorrow, we don't know. So it's better not to delay until tomorrow. Especially if you are struck by inspiration. I've learned to always write down ideas when they pop up. If I'm at work and can't immediately write down my idea because I'm in a meeting or whatever, I send myself an email that always starts with the same word in the email title.<br />
<br />
"Concept: Today is a perfect day to create - lettering"<br />
<br />
This makes it easy to find all my concepts in outlook just by searching for "concept".<br />
If it's for a painting or an illustration, I add further details or useful info in the email.<br />

It's true. When I'm creating, and I'm able to get into the zone, I am completely cut off anything or anyone that doesn't relate to the work I'm doing. There's no fatigue, no pain. There is warmth and coldness though, and a whole scala of emotions, particularly when painting. It's an intense experience. I can recommend anyone who is asking himself (or herself) what to do to start creating. It doesn't matter what, as long as it comes from,within you. The reward is great.</div>

Some of the work I do turns out really well, other things seem like a disaster. Over the years, I've overcome the urge to bring myself down whenever I see errors or flaws. They are just lessons to be learned and things to remember the next time I resolve similar problems. Mastery doesn't come over night. It takes years and years of practice.<br />
<br />
In other fields like design and lettering, it's no different. I'm fairly new at lettering so there's a long path to be followed towards mastery. Here's a drawing to remind myself. I'm putting this in a category called artists advice, because it is mainly advice I try to give the artist in me, while other artists may find it useful too.<br />

Here's a quicky.<br />
Been extremely busy this week, only gone to work at 6:30am and not home before 10pm, "racing" from one location to another. It seemed like I wasn't the only one. In fact, a lot of people seem to be in a hurry when they are driving.<br />
<br />
This weekend will be nice and calm though.<br />
On sunday, I'll be joining <a href="http://neoretroagency.com/dr-sketchys-belgium/" target="_blank">Dr. Sketchy's</a> as part of <a href="http://www.thebigdraw.org/" target="_blank">The Big Draw</a>.<br />
Time to relax and just sketch... <br />

Thumbnail sketches are a great, quick way to help me when I'm not absolutely sure about the composition I want for a painting.<br />

So I bought this little can of g<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Revell-Enamels-14ml-Metallic-Paint/dp/B000YP002E" target="_blank">old model building paint from Revell</a>. I used to have those paints as a kid as I was quite fond of model building so this brings back some great memories. The paint is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_paint" target="_blank">enamel paint</a>, which is quickly dry to the touch, and it's great to give objects a glossy look. The downside is that you have to apply it in pretty thick layers, and one layer may not be enough.<br />
<br />
I gave this sketchbook 2 layers.<br />
It looks great, don't you think?<br />

See the yellow ochre stains? I'm really a painter! I had some great fun with this as it's combining painting with lettering! </div>

Some may find I'm very critical for radio, but I really think this medium should be a lot more about music, like it used to be in the eighties and nineties, than it is about news and commercials.<br />
<br />
When I'm driving to work in the morning, I hear 2 or 3 songs in the +30 min ride. That makes me a bit sad. Radio as a medium has so much potential to be a culturally lifting experience. Now it's merely publicity and sensationalism.<br />
<br />
Here's my 2 cents:<br />

I was testing my new copic sketch markers for the first time. The first word I inked was "music" using the Warm Grey 9. All the sudden it started bleeding an aweful lot of ink on the letter "S". It bled so much that it came far out of the boundaries of my letter. I had to correct with a white gel pen.Johanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02417615368000033233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924117767102652574.post-66687750747142735372015-09-30T20:30:00.000+02:002015-09-30T20:30:00.219+02:00I vote for non stop music on the radioEver been bothered by the way radiopresenters interrupt a great song? Or songs being abruptly shoved towards the deep blackness of not being heard until the end because the radio makers decided at some point that we are better off hearing some commercial for a totally uninteresting product?<br />
I've had this for years. So I've recently turned that little long term frustration into something positive like a lettering design. Check it out!<br />

Here's another "note to self". If you're a painter, you may benefit from this one as well. When you use gesso to prepare your carrier -be it canvas, paper, board or whatever- sanding is very important. Especially if you prefer to have a rather smooth surface to paint on. A smooth surface is nice because it gives you the most control. You decide how much texture is on your surface and where it is to be found. No unpleasant surprizes when painting a portrait, etc. Another reason why sanding your canvas is good, is that due to the smoothness, your brushes will last a lot longer. </div>

I was sitting on our lovely terrace the other day. We don't get these really hot days anymore in September, but it can be quite enjoyable to feel the more subtle warmth of our best friend the sun on my back. The combination with the chronical fatigue makes for a wonderful buzz.Johanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02417615368000033233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924117767102652574.post-8973467652653879752015-09-20T22:16:00.002+02:002015-09-20T22:16:52.826+02:00Procrastination leads to FailureI started writing down some things that I have to keep reminding the artist in me. When painting, when not painting, I tend to wonder off, becoming unfocussed, and it's mainly due to procrastination.<br />
Having a very busy schedule with a daytime job, 5 children and a wife, painting academy, cycling 4 to 8hrs a week, groceries and other chores, it's quite easy to be unproductive when it comes to drawing and painting.<br />
<br />
So I thought I'd make myself some posters to remind me of the important things an artist should be aware of at all times.<br />
<br />
The first one is advise I should be putting as a wallpaper on my laptop (when I wonder off to the www for too long), and in other places I am to be found when I'm not creating.<br />
