Quick postcard sketch. Watercolour, ink and coloured pencils.
Copy of an older Mr Fox ink drawing.

Design practice for a set of jungle themed plates. I used the same drawings as for the dominoes and edited them digitally.
I took an illustrator course in February which pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to do my first digital drawing. I also learned how to do design sheets and pattern designs. I also became a lot better with my time management and to-do lists… somewhat 🙂
If anyone is looking for a great course, I can highly recommend this one at WeIllustrate.co.uk.
Happy Monday!
Another attempt at a master copy with my own spin. As a child I absolutely loved the stories and illustrations by Janosch. Maybe you have come across the Tigerente (lit. tiger duck)at some point? Absolutely love his whimsical style and his bear and tiger character. However, instead of copying his character I sneaked in Mr Fox’s cousin.
It took me much longer than a week, due to the flu, but I eventually finished them all. I also was colouring some of them in and still want to colour in the rest. I really struggled in the end to get to 100 but I can also see a definite improvement from the first page. I haven’t been drawing people for a while, so this was a great exercise.
Next I think I will do 100 animals 🙂
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.
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.
Here is part two of my little children story in 3 acts. Part one you can find here.
