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 older illustration of mine from winter 2021. I think it was right after I bought another bunch of my Caran d´ache Luminance pencils and one of the first attempts to use them.
The illustration is watercolour, ink and coloured pencils on cold press paper.
A forest party of my favourite animal characters.
Summer was so busy with work and other things, that I have been neglecting the blog and my art for the last couple of months!
This definitely needs to change! First step was taken last weekend when I finally managed to clean up my drawing desk. I now have no excuses not to start drawing next weekend.
I am also planning to do Inktober again, so I will hopefully start positing some warm-up sketches next week, just to get back into a drawing routine.
Meanwhile I started colouring in scenes from my own capybara drawing book.
What´s your take on fashion?
Another attempt to use those Chameleon markers and another scene from my Capybara and Friends – Colouring book .
Another scene from my Capybara and Friends – Colouring book which I colored in with Chameleon markers. Just for the fun of it.
Meanwhile it’s still snowing here. I don´t think we can expect spring before June this year…
Another page of my Capybara and Friends – Colouring book , now in full colour. Here is the original.
Have a great weekend everyone!
I got bored so I started colouring in my capybara drawings!
If you want to do the same, you can find this little Mr Fox and capybara illustration in my Capybara and Friends – Colouring book.
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!
Another capybara image. I do like to dress up every once in a while. Have fun with your clothes and own your style.
This catwalk crew is part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Colouring Book.
There was this art vs artist posts on Instagram and I am late to the party but this was the image I put together.
It has been a though year with many downs put I have certainly learned a lot illustration wise. I still feel like I have a long way to go until I get to where I want my illustrations to be, but hey, it’s a journey.
Curious to see how my style and skills will further develop throughout the year.
What are you looking forward to?
Capybaras have webbed feet and it makes them excellent swimmers.
They can dive and hold their breath for five minutes at a time, and their ears fold back when they are underwater so they never have to worry about water getting stuck in their ears.
This diving capybara is also part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Colouring Book.
Fishing for turtles?…..
This silly Mr Fox is also part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Colouring Book.
After the holidays, maybe it is time for a scrub.
This wash room team is also part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Colouring Book.
I would love to see your coloured in version.
Let’s see what the next year will bring. It will be an interesting ride for sure.
Happy New Year!
This monkey ride is also part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Colouring Book.
The mood right after the holidays – after eating way too much and too much socializing, but it was totally worth it.
This sleepy capybara is also part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Colouring Book.
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.
My latest Capybara Colouring book is online!
If you are looking for a last minute Christmas present, you can get it here.
A colouring book for young and old with 15 unique and fun drawings, featuring capybaras and their friends.
Throughout the book you will also learn more about these adorable rodents, as each image is accompanied by fun facts.
Colour them in and bring them to life!
The drawings are one sided full page images in order to avoid bleed through of other images. Take out the page after you are done and frame the image. I would love to see your finished pages!
