Victorious
Hope you all had a good holiday and survived without any bigger incidents. We spent a couple of days in the Icelandic countryside which was quiet and peaceful. Now back in town where it is time to continue the story of Mr Fox.
The angry snowman did not manage to swallow Mr Fox. Quite the opposite. After a short struggle between Mr Fox and the snowman, only one of them turned out to be victorious!
Hanging Out
Another Inktober leftover. Sometimes its just nice to hang out. Either up side down in the air or with a big bowl of ice cream on the couch. Which one do you prefer?
I am clearly for the up side down in the air! Can´t wait to go back to aerial hoop class after the holidays.
Window Shopping in Edinburgh II
Some more window shopping travel sketches from my new sketchbook.
Souvenir shop window in the old town of Edinburgh.
A cake shop display near Haymarket. Damn, I want that cake!
Window Shopping in Edinburgh
Went on a stop over to Edinburgh last month. I enjoyed the city just as much as the first time I was there for a long weekend. And it seems I spent too much time drawing foxes the last month, as I started to see them everywhere.
I took the opportunity to stock up on sketchbooks and pens, as those things are rather pricey in Iceland. And of course I had to use them right away.
Inktober 2019 Day 31 – Ripe
Last but not least. Almost forgot to post this one, the last of the inktober prompts.
Happy first advent everyone!
Trying to catch Mr Mouse turned out to be too exhausting. Therefore little Mr Fox stuffed his face with ripe grapes instead.
Inktober 2019 Day 18 – Misfit
Does the shoe fit?
Inktober 2019 Day 15 – Legend
The only legend I could think of was that of a unicorn. Also there is the saying, that if you can be a unicorn, be a unicorn.
Happy Monday!
Inktober 2019 Day 14 – Overgrown
I wanted to draw another dragon. This one went to take a nap in the forest. After a long slumber he woke up only to discover that he was surrounded by forest flora and fauna.
Inktober 2019 Day 13 – Ash
Almost like a phoenix rising out of the ashes…
Inktober 2019 Day 12 – Dragon
My nickname is dragon.
Inktober 2019 Day 1 – Ring
I really was looking forward to Inktober this year, after I had so much fun last year! Check it out here.
I got my ink and sketchbook already ready a week ago. After a quiet month of not drawing a lot I was looking forward to get into it again. And I really missed using ink. Of course I already managed to get ink all over my hands. Wouldn´t be inktober without that! So let´s have fun with this!
I’m going to follow the official Inktober prompt list again. Maybe in combination with a little fox. Lets see what happens.
Cat Yoga I
Lazy Saturday morning. Trying to get up to do some yoga… I found this drawing that I did back in May when I was still in Athens and enjoying the sun. I really miss Greece….
Inspiration was the two cats they have at the pole studio, where I went for aerial hoop training in Athens. Whenever you put the mat down on the ground to stretch, one of the cats would come and lie down on it and claim the space or sharpen its nails on the mat. It was actually a lot of fun to have them around as entertainment.
World Watercolor Month Wrap-Up
Finished later than planned but eventually did it. My 31 prompts for World Watercolour Month of 2019. In addition to following the prompt list I also tried to incorporate a traveller theme.
I had a lot of fun with this one. I feel that I got a lot faster at sketching, and proportions and people come easier to me now after a month (and a half) of almost consistent daily drawing. I will definitely keep going. Time to look for another challenge… Any suggestions?
Which one is your favourite?
I think mine are the pooping monkeys (#22) and me relaxing in the hammock (#16).

Day 30 – Wild Things #WorldWatercolorMonth
Almost there, almost a month late! Too many things & lovely visitors happened in between to keep up the daily routine. Oh well… It’s almost weekend again.
Not sure I´ll be partying like one of those wild things… The inspiration for this prompt was spring break… I witnessed it once last year in Mexico by accident, and hope I will never again!
Day 24 – Treats #WorldWatercolorMonth
Treats! I thought I try something different. I decided I need to start experimenting more! I love how the girl on the right turned out. Not what she expected…
Day 12 – Blossoming #WorldWatercolorMonth
Flower-vase-hair. Inspiration was a post about ridiculous Instagram trends. This was apparently a thing at some point?
Anyway, flowers are blossoming. Here in Iceland the last lupins are still in bloom.
Day 7 – Shiny Things #WorldWatercolorMonth
Shiny things. First thing that came to mind was the incredible 3000 year old jewellery I saw at the Archeological Museum in Athens. Go and check it out if you are visiting the city. Definitely worth it.
There are plenty of souvenir and jewellery shops in the centre of Athens. I have to admit I was attracted by the shiny things a lot. By accident I discovered in a side street off the tourist path (I usually go the opposite direction from all the tourists) a small family run handmade jewellery shop called Zaras. Fell in love with their earring designs and became quite a good customer during my stay.
Day 5 – Loose& Free #WorldWatercolorMonth
Don´t ask me how I got the idea for this prompt – loose and free…
And no, I don´t go running naked.
Day 4 – Family Fun #WorldWatercolorMonth
Prompt for day 4 – Family fun. So as you might have guessed by know, I decided to stick to the theme of travellers. There are so many weird and funny and also plain stupid tourist and travellers out there. It´s an endless source of inspiration! I have also been working in tourism for the last couple of years, and every time you think you have seen it all.. oh boy, it hits you!
I remember going on family holiday. The drama that would always occur somewhere along the way… the chaos of packing, the struggle of getting everyone into the car, siblings fighting in the back seat, sustained yelling, repeated “are we there yet?” chants, and other kind of entertaining incidents that occurred along the long road to the holiday destination. Who has had similar experiences?
