Another slight changed master copy. My favourite so far. It will get a spot on the wall for sure. You might be familiar with the boat crew. Original illustration by Janosch.
Ink and watercolour.
Have a great weekend!
My version
The original by Janosch.
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.
Another attempt at a master copy which I then decided to put my own spin on it. Original “Buried Head” by Souther Salazar.
Watercolour, ink, and coloured pencils.
Last year I did a couple of master copies of famous artworks. This one is based on ‘Smokey Face’ by N.C. Wyeth.
Watercolour and coloured pencil.
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.
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.
Tried something slightly different with this guy. Instead of the usual ink I used a coloured pencil for the outline.
What do you think?
Another kid with her pet. Is it just me or do her eyebrows make her look like she is planning to cook the pig…. ? 😀
Watercolour and ink.
Another character design practice for Take Your Pet to School Day.
Watercolour on paper.
Still playing catch up with the inktober drawings. Was a bit stuck with the story and still not quite sure where it will go. Any inspiration is welcome. Have a great week everyone!
Welcome to day 24 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.
They start walking down the street. Everything is dark and they are not quite sure what direction to take.
Suddenly Sasha spots a tiny light at the end of an alley. Curious, they walk towards it.
“Who are you?” Grog asks.
“I am a fairy” the winged creature says.
“You don´t look like a fairy” Grog says.
“Oh well, nobody is perfect,” the fairy replies. “And who are you, if I may ask?”
Grog and Sasha introduce themselves.
“A bat with glasses and a one winged gargoyle! Seems like you are not perfect either” the fairy responds and smiles broadly.
Welcome to day 23 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.
With everyone stunned and distracted by the transformation of the dog, Sasha and Grog seize their chance and run. Grog darts out the door first and starts running down the street like he never ran before. Sasha flaps her wings trying to keep up with him.
They only stop when they are both completely out of breath.
Once recovered, they start looking around, only to realize that they are even more lost than before. Nothing looks familiar. Even the buildings in their shape and form look different from before.
Welcome to day 22 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.
Grog froze when he saw the dog standing at the door. Should he fight him and then try to make a run? The dog was slightly bigger than him. Grog was calculating his chances.
“Get out of the way!” Sasha yells at Grog from behind. In a swift movement, Sasha snatches the magician´s wand out of his hand and points it at the dog.
“Abracadabra!” she yells at the top of her lungs.
Welcome to day 19 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.
What Grog and Sasha had not noticed when they entered the cellar of the magic show, was the massive dog guarding the entrance. In his attempt to run out, Grog was suddenly face to face with the door dog.
“Where do you think you are going?” the dog barked at him angrily. “You did not pay for the show! Pay up or you will be in trouble,” he continued threateningly.
Welcome to day 20 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.
Again, Grog was not impressed with the magician´s bluff. He ripped of the ponytail and started running towards the exit in anger.
Welcome to day 19 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.
The magician pointed his wand at Grog and started waiving it.
“Abracadabra!!” he says.
Welcome to day 19 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.
“Alright, alright! You are clearly not impressed with the result!” the magician laughs while looking at Grog.
“Let me try again! My magic wand should do the trick!”
