Some of the initial sketches of the class room.
Have a great weekend! I will be out enjoying the sun.

The Bird
Inspired by an illustration by Souther Salazar. Wanted to try something else and just have fun with colour and different media…
I´m a ray of fucking sunshine
Found this guy in the beginning of my sketchbook. I got inspired by a t-shirt with above’s headline and though a shoe bill would fit the phrase perfectly. I think they are pretty cool!
Take your Pet to School Day VII
The budgie looks rough. But why?
Feasting Time
Did you have a lavish Christmas feast? We for sure did! Still digesting it.
Christmas is the time of the year where you eat way too much food, while in the good company of friends. At least that’s what it was and means for me.
This illustration is also part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Coloring Book.
Take your Pet to School Day II
Another character design.
Any name suggestions for the characters are more than welcome.
Have a lovely weekend!
Shoe Bill
Found this one in my sketchbook. Love the somewhat mean or perhaps critical look of shoe bills.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Inktober Roundup
After I felt like I was doing so well with my posting habits throughout October I fell into somewhat of a slump the last week. I have been focusing on drawing and several online are courses that I am taking at the moment instead.
I finished all of the Inktober prompts, however, I am not really happy how the last 3 turned out as I rushed them, so I haven’t posted them yet.
Here are all the other ones that I am quite happy with. I ended up with 33 drawings even with the last 3 missing as I did more than one drawing on some of the days.
Do you have a favourite?
Inktober Day 18 – Moon
First thing that came to mind for this prompt was mooning. Don´t ask me why!
Have you ever mooned someone?
Inktober Day 16 – Compass
Have you lost your compass?
Where to go from here?
Inktober Day 5 – Raven #2
Tried something completely different as well for the raven prompt. Although I don’t feel like drawing this character is really me. I really prefer drawing animals and I feel like I haven’t found my style yet when it comes to drawing people appropriate for children’s books. I will keep on practicing though.
I am still on track with my Inktober drawings, I just haven’t managed to take photos and upload them yet. They will follow shortly.
Who else is doing Inktober here?
Inktober Day 5 – Raven
Fly away with me….
Don’t mess with me
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.
Daily Yoga
Still practicing and experimenting with the pose of the day. I am not able to get my leg that high up though.
