The best thing about having a dog is, that you are forced to go out in any wind and weather. Sometimes it’s tough but almost always rewarding.
Hello there! What has this little one spotted?

Walking the Walk II
I do like to draw these different perspectives. Really helps me to study people in a fun way. Another Pinterest inspired “quick” sketch.
Street Style
They say, dogs look like their owners, or is it the other way around?
Today’s quick sketch inspired by Pinterest – A French bulldog and his stylish grumpy looking companion.
Happy Monday, off to work!
Nobbi & Kobbi – Children´s Book
You can find my first illustrated children´s story of the two best friends now also in German on Amazon. The English version you find here.
Die Geschichte von Nobbi und Kobbi gibt es jetzt auch auf Deutsch auf Amazon zu kaufen.
In hindsight I would do many things differently when it comes to illustrating and editing the book. But then again, it was the first and there is a learning curve. 🙂 I definitely want to do more book illustrations and am busy practicing and learning new publishing and editing programs.
In fact, I just finished my second children’s book, a story about a little fly. I am very happy of how it turned out. More about it soon!
I have plenty of inspiration when it comes to drawings but I suck at making up stories. If anyone has a great story idea they would like to collaborate on, please drop me a line.
In the meantime check out the silly story of Nobbi & Kobbi.
Dropping Ink All Over
When you try to do a quick sketch and the ink flies all over the desk…
I think it still took me about 30 min to do this one. So not that quick after all.
Looking Good in Pink
Ready for work.
Lately pink has become my favourite colour. What is yours? My favourite dress is bright pink.
Also still studying people´s poses from different perspectives. Pinterest has become my new best friend as source of inspiration.
Time to freshen up
After roughly 10 years I thought it is also about time to change the header image of my website. Played around with different versions, this is what I settled on for now.
Any comments and feedback are more than welcome.
Walking the Walk
Still trying to sketch a person at least every other day, just to keep practicing.
Just Kick it…
Sometimes it feels good to blow off steam.
Backpacking…
Got a new sketchbook and had to use it right away.
Time to get out to explore new things. What do you put in your backpack?
Capybara & Friends
Good friends are the most important in life.
Flight of the Pelican
After drawing 100 people it was about time to throw in a random pelican in between.
Happy Monday!
Wine Time
I do like a good wine. This is the last of the 100 people challlenge. Although I am already continuing with it and have reached #105 by now. I really do love to see the improvement I went through and how easy it has become to sketch people. I just need to work more on the speed. As I feel sometimes its takes me way too long.
Cheers and have a great weekend!
Ink All the Way
Still on the ink. Yep, loving it. But also missed some colour. So I ended up adding a bit of watercolour to this drawing. Below you can compare the before and after. Which one do you prefer?
This is also number 99 in the series of One Week 100 People I did at the beginning of April.
Another Perspective
Studying people and poses from different angles.
Changing Perspective
If your are stuck, sometimes it helps to change perspective.
Time to Chill
This is how the last days looked like for me. Hope you had a good weekend as well.
Egg Painting Time
Mr Fox and Mr Mouse got together to paint some more Easter eggs. Who else has been painting eggs this year?
If you are too lazy like me to paint eggs how about making your own Mr Fox Easter print instead?
You can also get this image as high resolution file to print with different background on my Ko-fi page.
Happy Easter.
Easter Fox
Easter weekend is coming up. I haven´t been painting Easter eggs in years. But I got inspired to draw Mr Fox painting eggs.
Are you still looking for Easter cards or wrapping paper or a little present? I put the image of little Mr Fox on Ko-fi as a high resolution image with different background colors for you to download, so you can print your own cards for friends or family.
Have a happy Easter weekend! I for my part will be out hiking in the sun.
