We are greeted with mixed weather for the weekend after a rather sunny week.
This is another page of my upcoming picture book – paper and gouache. I am still working on the cover. It will hopefully be finished soon.
Have a great weekend!

Illustration practice IV
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.
Illustration practice III
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.
Stormy Seas
Another Inktober 21 drawing that I didn´t post previously.
Apparently I do enjoy drawing boats, but I don´t like to be in them. Also we had now in average one storm per week for he past 2 months. Good winter in Iceland. Other countries have spring, I´ve been told….
Adventurous Seas
Just like life, a lot is going on below and above sea level.
This is another seen from my latest Capybaras and Friends Colouring Book.
Happy Monday!
Taxi Ride
Capybaras are excellent swimmers and some species like to use them as a free taxi service too.

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 3 – Vessel
I´m experimenting with adding a bit of colourful highlights to my ink drawings. What do you think?
I have also decided to spend Inktober to explore new and old characters.
