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?
Part II of this little story. An illustration from last year. I haven´t done part III yet…. will do so today. The weather is the same here as in the picture.
Part I you find here.
Another story in 3 acts. Watercolour on cold press paper.
The other short story in 3 acts you can find here.
Watercolour and pencil illustration inspired by Kazuo Ishiguro´s book The Buried Giant and Iceland of course.
The weather today really invites to keep on sleeping. Enjoy your weekend!
Here is part two of my little children story in 3 acts. Part one you can find here.
Another older watercolour illustration.
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.
Happy Monday. Hope you have a better start into the week than this school bag owner.
At one point when I was a child I really wanted to have a chinchilla as pet. I am not sure where that idea came from. We got a dog instead, which I think was the way better choice.
I still think they are super cute. Did you have an unusual pet when you where young or maybe even now?
Cat is taking a nap after chasing the budgie.
What happened to this budgie? Why is he so dishevelled?
Tried another perspective and experimented with coloured pencils just for fun.
There is always someone who needs to clean up the mess. In this case the teacher.
What other kind of chaos could the pets cause?
Changed perspective for this one.
More watercolour and ink.
Have a great week!
Last but not least, another classroom scene.
I was just thinking, would it be a interesting to do a children´s book with these images? A book with no words, but plenty to discover for kids? Let me know what you think.
And what kind of pet could be missing from the terrarium?
Have a great weekend!
Another classroom another scene.
What kind of pets did you have when you grew up?
This was my first attempt at a full scene in watercolour and ink, where I put the characters of the previous posts into action.
I am very happy how it turned out. Any comments and criticisms are welcome 🙂
Did you ever take your pet to school?
Another character sketch. This time with pencil outline, just to try something different.
I don´t like how the dog turned out, but I actually like the softer pencil outline of the girl. What do you think? Do you prefer this over ink?
