When will this boy ever grow up?

So what´s been happening lately besides
me not updating my blog? Well, I decided to ditch my
penciling attempts (not penicillin), since the approach
to do rough pencil sketches and tracing them on
transparency paper didn´t work out the way I wanted.
It might be a handy and effective technique to some,
but I noticed how much more I love bold, direct
drawing. Sketching and tracing is NOT FUN.
It feels like it´s killing the random elements
in my lines - the small dents, the weird curls,
the overall rough-around-the-edge touch
to it. So, there. Back to the old school, so
to say.

Mango chutney, ginger, ghee (clarified butter),spices, mung beans, chili. AWESOME.
Also, I am getting into indian style cooking
lately. I never used to cook anything (beyond pasta
and water for my tea), and I think being able to cook
at least a handful of delicious, nutricious dishes is
a basic skill everyone should have. Taking some rough
ingredients and make something that beats
processed food out of the can by a mile always
fascinated me, and since I love mushy, spicy food
like many indian varieties, I thought I´d start
with something completely new:
Curry mung bean "dal" with mango chutney
and basmati rice. Worked out well, I ate this
three days in a row. And it´s cheap!
Also, please check out two new additions
on my link list. I still have to add Jeannettes new
text blog from Japan.

I love the drawing :)
I want to cook indian food! Ive been living off pasta.
Sounds delicious. I love Indian food, allthough I mostly eat pasta, because it's so quick and easy to make. It's not like I'm busy or anything, I'm just lazy I guess. Now I'm kind of getting inspired foodwise though, maybe I'll cook something exotic tomorrow!
The drawing is funny. And very metallic. Tanks are always cool.
I know what you mean about tracing, the results kind of look the same, but it never really is the same as the original drawing. Something's missing. I did a lot of tracing a while back, but now I mostly just draw straight to the paper, I like the line so much better that way.
well come back!
Love indian too but I never dared to cook it. Go ahead and post some ilustrated recepies.
