And another dog with the Caran d’Ache Neocolor Aquarelle pencils. Had to get creative with this one.

Playing around with Dogs
Attempt two with the new Caran d’Ache Neocolor Aquarelle.
Was looking for quick drawing inspiration and somehow ended up on a Pinterest board full of dogs.
Look what I got!
Got these Caran d’Ache Neocolor Aquarelle pencils as a gift from a friend and had to try them out immediately!
My verdict, they are amazing and so much fun to draw with!
I’ve used plenty of watercolour pencils before, it was my preferred medium during my teenage years, but these are different. The colours are so vivid and rich. It’s a lot of fun to draw with. I just need to practice a bit to get the hang of them.
Have you tried these ones before?
And the final dog drawing.
I did not draw this
But I do know the artist rather well.
My 3 year old has been helping me to fill some pages in my sketchbook and I’m loving it. Favourite medium are my Caran d’ache Luminance pencils.
Do you have a little assistant?
Beaver Fever
Beavers are fun to draw. The other one is a ferret, I think?
Someone got company
I really love how the chimpanzee turned out. He is my favourite so far! What do you think?
I had him on my pinterest board for a long time. I remember trying to draw him a year? / few years ago and it turned out all awkward and wrong. I need to see if I find the old sketch somewhere.
Anyway, good start for the day. Happy sunny weekend ahead!
And if you are still looking for some funny wall decor, check out my Etsy shop.
What are you up today?
Cannot keep myself from not drawing dogs. They are just too cute.
Have been drawing a lot of funny rabbits until late last night. Now I am paying the price by being over-tired. But why stop when you are having fun?
Desert Mouse
I really love the vibrance of these Caran d’ache Luminance pencils.
Day 6 of drawing random animals from my Pinterest board. What do you use for inspiration?
Coocoo
Not quite the sound a Lemur makes (what sounds do they make?) but still think it fits the sketch.
25min from start to finish. I am really enjoying this loose drawing with no strings attached. 20 years later I finally get the idea of having a sketchbook.
Dog in Boots
If a cat can wear boots, then so can a dog. Read the Puss in Boots to my little one the other day.
She enjoyed the illustrations more than the story I think.
An Animal a Day
Curious little fox wishes you Happy Monday!
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!
