Good Morning
From this, to this.
Just having fun..
Checking if I can still draw… After all good intentions of sketching daily, I did not open my sketchbook once during the last 6 weeks of travel…
Now back home, I got my desk cleaned up, spent another 30min looking for my pencil case, and eventually started out with a number of 5 min animal sketches. This one was 25 min from start to finish.
One Week 100 People III
Here come number 10 to 14. Combination of watercolour, coloured pencils and for number 12-14 I used olive green ink for the outline that I bought some time ago but never used.
Hello, who are you? III
This was the mood yesterday when I was drawing. Part III of this little story. Here are part I and II.
I tried to stick to the previous style as close as possible. But there is a year in between the first 2 and this drawing. I feel like my style has become way more fluent, or something like it? What do you think?
Hello, who are you?
Another story in 3 acts. Watercolour on cold press paper.
The other short story in 3 acts you can find here.
Forest Party
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.
Take Your Pet to School Day VII
Tried another perspective and experimented with coloured pencils just for fun.
Sleeping time IV
I feel like I have been hibernating the last month… Time to do a spring clean and get active again!
Sleeping Time III
Another rough sketch. Same scene as before. Had this black paper for a while and finally got around to try it out.
Any comments and feedback welcome.
Would you like to see this style in a children´s book?
Sleeping Time
I wanted to experiment with different techniques last month.
This is a piece in pencil and coloured pencil on paper. I think the paper was not quite ideal but I still like the texture of the chair.
Art vs. Artist
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?
Inktober Day 12 – Stuck
Maybe it’s time for a diet?
Inktober Day 8 – Watch
When you have plenty of watches but are running late anyway.
Happy Monday!
Inktober Day 7 – Fan
When even the dogs are sweating. Let’s call it teamwork….
Have a great weekend everyone!
Inktober Day 6 – Spirit
This forest scene is inspired by the little mushroom person that came out of nowhere in the last drawing…
Inktober Day 5 – Raven
Fly away with me….
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.
Owl Orchestra
Another warm up drawing while drinking coffee….slowly filling up my sketchbook.
Practice Makes Perfect
Another Caran D’ache practice. I feel like I am not there yet, to the image I have in my head, but I think it is definitely an improvement from the last drawing. What do you think?
Have a great week!
