Tim Nordin's Faves

it might be pushing me forward, but sometimes it hurts that I'm never satisfied

Pencil colored and gouache drawing

Drawn in the town near where I live.

Acrylic on canvas

This was meant to be a quick 4”x 5” piece but somehow sucked up way more time than I’d planned. From my own photo for reference.

Drawing Prompt Submission

Drawn from a photo of Audrey Hepburn.

This is in response to a terrible hair cut I recently got which is ruining my life a bit

Just a sketch in progress from the sketchbook.

This drawing, with a bit of watercolour, was done years ago in North Vancouver during a figure drawing session. Probably 15 - 20 minutes. Watercolour, subtly employed, can have wonderful affects. The challenge of working fast forced me to ditch excess thinking. And it's funny, because at first I thought, "Oh, this is terrible." Then the next day, with fresh eyes, or checking out the drawing in a mirror, I think, "Wow! How did I not see how good this is?" Never throw out your artwork immediately after a drawing session. Give them a few days and look at your work with fresh eyes.

Watercolor This was drastically different from my usual stuff and lots of fun. I’m thinking of painting a few more cards to match in the same style but featuring different scenes. We shall see what pops out of my brush
