It´s time again for this fun annual art challenge – One week 100 people. And it´s exactly that, you got one week to draw 100 people in any way you like.
I am using the opportunity to challenge myself to do some quick character sketches by using pinterest as inspiration. So far I´ve been having fun with it. Are you taking part in the challenge?
It´s already Friday. Again! Time flies when you are having fun… Another sketch from last year that I just discovered again. I am so full of new ideas and so little time to put them into practice. But I will hopefully get there eventually.
Next weeks is the fun challenge of 1 week 100 people that I did last 2 years ago. I am determined to take it on this year as it is great drawing practice. So next week you will get to see some newer drawings.
As previously written, I love water. I started cold-water dipping a couple of years ago and absolutely love doing, especially in nature. But also every swimming pool in Iceland will have a cold water pot next to the hot tubs. That makes it even more enjoyable jumping from hot to cold and back.
Here is another watercolour practice from a year ago. Watercolour on hot press paper.
Another watercolour practice on cold press paper. I do love swimming and being underwater is amazing. Unfortunately I never met a rock n roll starfish before.
This was the mood yesterday when I was drawing. Part III of this little story. Here are part I and II.
I tried to stick to the previous style as close as possible. But there is a year in between the first 2 and this drawing. I feel like my style has become way more fluent, or something like it? What do you think?
Part II of this little story. An illustration from last year. I haven´t done part III yet…. will do so today. The weather is the same here as in the picture.
Part I you find here.
Another story in 3 acts. Watercolour on cold press paper.
The other short story in 3 acts you can find here.
Watercolour and pencil illustration inspired by Kazuo Ishiguro´s book The Buried Giant and Iceland of course.
The weather today really invites to keep on sleeping. Enjoy your weekend!
Here is part two of my little children story in 3 acts. Part one you can find here.
Another older watercolour illustration.
Another older illustration of mine from winter 2021. I think it was right after I bought another bunch of my Caran d´ache Luminance pencils and one of the first attempts to use them.
The illustration is watercolour, ink and coloured pencils on cold press paper.
A forest party of my favourite animal characters.
Happy Monday. Hope you have a better start into the week than this school bag owner.
At one point when I was a child I really wanted to have a chinchilla as pet. I am not sure where that idea came from. We got a dog instead, which I think was the way better choice.
I still think they are super cute. Did you have an unusual pet when you where young or maybe even now?
Cat is taking a nap after chasing the budgie.
What happened to this budgie? Why is he so dishevelled?
Tried another perspective and experimented with coloured pencils just for fun.
