Warm up sketch for today – Owl playing piano. Why not.
Drew this using my “brand new” 30 year old Mont Blanc fountain pen that I received as a gift the other week. The pen is beautiful and it just smoothly goes over the paper. Perfect for sketching on the road, which is a habit I want to take up.
Doodling a chameleon with chameleon markers. The things you do while drinking wine.
Was curious to try these markers and this is the outcome. Was fun to try but I probably wouldn´t really use them for anything else.
Has anyone used them?
Still exploring the idea of a musical owl a bit more. This time she is hitting the drums. Used a new nib to draw this and I am finally happy with my purchase. No scratched paper this time.
Are you playing an instrument? What instrument should the owl play tomorrow?
Another warm up drawing while drinking coffee….slowly filling up my sketchbook.
I discovered shoebills a couple of months ago and have been sketching them on and off. I do quite like their slightly mean facial expression.
Sketch in ink and watercolor.
Art supply shops are like candy shops. You go in to buy the one thing you want and walk out with a bag of goodies instead. I treated myself to a fountain pen and new nibs for drawing. Plus a ton of different papers and pencils.
First fountain pen trial.
Another Caran D’ache practice. I feel like I am not there yet, to the image I have in my head, but I think it is definitely an improvement from the last drawing. What do you think?
Have a great week!
Tried something else for today´s warm up sketch. Inspired by the photo of Elliot Erwitt, Provence, 1955.
Have a great weekend!
Here is finally one for the cat lovers as promised.
I think for my proper first cat drawing it did turn out quite ok. What do you think?
I started work on two new books. One will be my own, with the main character being the one and only, little Mr Fox. The other one is still in the planing stage. But I am excited nevertheless.
Seems for a fun warm up sketch I have settled for another fun French Bulldog once again. Also good to practice my pencil drawing skills.
So set your focus and don´t loose it.
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet. No more cats and dogs, nevertheless I drew a dog.
Let´s say he is sunbathing and enjoying the warmth.
Should I draw a cat tomorrow?
Same weather different day….
This is certainly the mood of the day.
Maybe I should start drawing cats too. At the end of the day I will always remain a dog person though.
Inspiration of funny dogs comes from Pinterest.
That expression came to mind when I looked out the window this morning. So naturally I felt like drawing a funny dog as the sketch of the day. Trying to get back into the habit of sketching daily.
I also felt curious of where the expression comes from and turns out it is not quite clear.
Reference image of this funny dog is from Pinterest.
I added a bit of colour to this honey badger. I am currently having fun learning Photoshop, designer programs and the like. Gotta earn that barbecue tonight by getting some work done.
Have a great weekend!
You can find this guy also in my Society 6 shop.
Another week over…
When you think you know what is best but then you have problems to follow your own smartass advice…
Good to have a reminder.
You can also find this little guy in my Society 6 shop.

I’ll be adding more honey badgers at the end of the week to the collection.
Honey badger also need their coffee. Who else is a coffee person here?
Black or milk?
As the boyfriend would say, give me coffee as dark as my magic (or my soul) … Depends on the day.
