<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Denne høsten har jeg jobbet med et nytt barnebok prosjekt. "Ulvegutten Tal" er tittelen og er skrevet av den prisbelønte forfatteren Tor Åge Bringsværd. Historien følger en 8 år gammel gutt i steinalderen. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Dette er noen av de første skissene jeg gjorde for prosjektet. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">This fall I have been working/drawing on a new children's book project. It's called "Ulvegutten Tal". (In english: Tal the wolfboy) A story written by <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">price awarded,</span> </span>Norwegian writer Tor Åge Bringsværd. It follows Tal, an 8 year old boy in the stoneage era. Very exciting! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">These are some of the first sketches I did for the project. </span><br />

Watercolor sketches from my watercolor moleskine sketchbook. I often head out to the sea to do some spearfishing with my friends and my trusty harpoon spear. This ends up with a lot of inspiration to draw things. There is something about the sea and what might be lurking underneath that really intrigues me. I find it very simple to draw waterscapes and creatures that inhabit those areas. </div>

This is the final cover for my children's book about working animals!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of animals working on the front. And the lazy unemployed sloth on the back, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as a contrast to the working ones. The Zebra on the back is "working" as a barcode :P </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a lot of work..I was a little nervous about the cover in the beginning. I struggled with it in the sketching process. But it came around after a while. It's made in watercolors primarily. I made each element separately and put it all together digitally. In the end i'm quite pleased with the outcome. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The book is published by Cappelen Damm publisher (the badger is digging up their logo) And will be available for purchase somewhere in june. </div>

Hippo trophy. This was just a tiny sketch i did to illustrate an idea i had, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but then i decided to scan it, color and texture it. I kind of like these simple </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sketches. I don't think when i do them, so they are very random and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
spontaneous. </div>

Behemoth from the book of Job in the Bible!<br />
The description of Behemoth matches a sauropod (long neck) dinosaur very well! No modern animal fits the description full out!<br />
In the Bible the word "Tannyin" which means DRAGON, is mentioned 27 times! And their description is very alike to that of dinosaurs! The word dinosaur wasn't invented until the 1800.

For the last couple of weeks i've been working on some illustrations for a client! The illustrations will feature in a handbook about child protective services and minority families.<br />
<br />
For the project they wanted a safe, children's book feel. And they referenced to my former Noahs ark drawings. So i went for that style!Haakon Liehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14991067306710121842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015376255150870695.post-91582935641715020592012-08-16T21:01:00.004+02:002012-08-16T21:01:50.509+02:00Deer of fall <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is something i doodled on when i went on an adventure with 2 friends to Tunisia, north Africa!<br />
A character of mine is having a brave moment as he tries to fight of a monstrous dragon! He usually dwells in his den reading books...So this is sort of outside his comfort zone!<br />

Here is the colored version! I actually colored this digitally in photoshop! Haven´t done that in quite a while, with any personal work! As i tend to do things traditionally and then edit only digitally! But this was very fun actually! And i think i´m discovering my own painting style in the digital world!<br />
<br />
I will try to update more often from now on! Until next time!

A humor illustration i did for Asfalt street magazine! With a caricature of comedian Dag Schreiner.<br />
Dag Schreiner wrote the text the illustration is based on!<br />
<br />
For this i used Ecoline liquid ink, white gouache paint and color pencils. + editing in photoshop!Haakon Liehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14991067306710121842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015376255150870695.post-55886518479569987202012-06-22T16:04:00.000+02:002012-06-22T16:04:30.520+02:00Exam!So at last i´m done at NKF (Creative college of Norway)<br />
<br />
And i had my illustration exam done a week ago! The exam lasted for two weeks, and i was to make 4 illustrations with inspiration from the novella "A brave ant" by Tarjej Vesaas!<br />
<br />
I chose to mix the insect world in the story with medieval times to get som exciting elements! And children´s book was the media i chose.<br />
This is my take on the novella and the exam:<br />
<br />
Below: Cover for the children´s book. Featuring the brave ant in knights armor befitting an ant!<br />

Been doing some editorial illustrations for a fictional magazine at school! I chose an activity magazine for children! And its taking place by the Low tide areas!<br />
This is the first label! Featuring the hermit house collecting the many cool things that the low tide leaves behind!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The second label!<br />
Where there´s a hot dog stand! But the hot dogs are replaced with marine sea cucumbers! This makes a lot more sense in norway...since "sea cucumber" actually means sea "sausage" in Norway!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The third label! This is captain Crabbeard! a menacing crab pirate lord that spreads havoc upon the poor starfish that try to fend him off! A mermaid calls the horn of the sea! Is she summoning Crabbeard or alerting enforcements? you figure it out!<br />
<br />
All the illustrations are done in traditional watercolors! But i also used some ecoline ink! which has the same effect as watercolors! and white gouache to bring forth details and highlights!Haakon Liehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14991067306710121842noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015376255150870695.post-66764698128399931372012-05-01T20:25:00.000+02:002012-05-01T20:25:03.184+02:00Cover illustration<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
