Ok, the theme is definitely food orientated.
Cruel is when you had a long day at work and nothing to eat except for chocolate and biscuits and then you come home to this.
Or you wake up after a night of partying and all that is left in the fridge is this.
Wow, so I got featured on WordPress Discover! Totally unexpected and what an amazing boost! ❤ Thank you!
Prompt for day 10 was “flowing”. I saw lots of drawings of beautiful flowing hair… Never would have thought of that. First thing that came to my mind were rivers of milk and honey, followed by this. I think I was hungry.
If the chicken needs a break, you can hop on your precious dragon to take you places.
I wish he could take me to work right now, so I´d avoid the traffic.
What does the flying bottle do there you might wonder? I thought about a snitch first, which turned into a bottle of beer, which is the carrot for the dragon to keep him going the right direction.
Who´s the star? She or her ice cream?
She tried to have a cake/cup cake eat off with the drooling dog but had to give up first because she was exhausted.
Prompt number 6 for #Inktober. First thing that came to mind was of course dogs!
This not what I had in mind at all when I started drawing. I thought of roasted meat.. but non of the things I sketched out I actually liked. So I went a completely different direction.
What better than a dark roast in the morning? I am nothing without a good cup of coffee. What about you?
Drew this last night but did not have time to post it.
Tranquility…. to be destroyed.
What I would like to do right now: perfect picnic with a glass of very dark and heavy red wine and giant pieces of Gruyere, Manchego and Comté.
It´s been almost exactly a year since I started drawing again. I think I started on day 9 last year after a friend told me I should give Inktober a try. She found it a shame that I was not drawing any more and right she was.
I remember that during the first two weeks everything was a struggle. Finding an idea of what to draw was a struggle, despite the prompt list. Drawing was a struggle. Ink was everywhere and using it was a struggle.
Today was quite the opposite. The only struggle I had, was to make time for it. I even bought new ink. I still managed to get ink on my hands and table but I had fun.
Rainy days… inspired by the frist rainy day illustration and perhaps you can call it a modern ballerina version of Mary Poppins´ umbrella scene. I´m not sure why I suddely remembered Mary Poppins, as it has been years since I saw the movie or listened to the story. I had the audio tape when I was little and would listen to it over and over again.
I needed to do a hoop drawing again as I am all in the mood for aerial hoop. It is so nice to be back in the air, although it also means to be bruised and sore all the time. It looks nice, but it is actually tough work!
I had no idea what I was going to do, so this one turned into an autumn inspired hoop hang picture. The foxes are like “what the hell is she doing?”
I think I started to continue with my Mexico book because winter has officially arrived here. The mountains are white again and I miss the warmth.
At least I can have sunny drawings and hot whiskey to keep me warm! I still have about a third of my Mexico book to fill so I will have more of these coming …
I think it was my second day in Malinalco back in April, when we stopped at the shoemaker right next to the market. My friend needed to get one of his shoe soles fixed. It was this small room with 3 guys working behind the counter, shelves full of old shoes, and an old TV showing Dragonball Z.
The reasons for the few updates lately are that I simply did not have time to sit down and draw, and when I found time, then I was stuck with this watercolor painting.
I have been on it for more than a week now and still haven´t figured out the background… I ate a lot of ice cream in between too, to look for inspiration… still looking, so I will keep on eating until I find it.
I was sketching while watching a movie. This is the result. I think I will go get some ice cream tonight.
It has been sunny second day in a row! That´s when those ice cream cravings come up. At my new favourite ice cream parlour, conveniently just a 5 minute bike ride from home, the scoops are massive. Two are pretty much a meal. Bigger is better!
This actually could be me. I admit.
I found my sketch book again with the ice cream drawings I started at the beginning of the year. As I was bored and tired today – and had a sweet craving – I thought I add another one to it. I am also trying to draw and paint more loosely… so this was my evening exercise.
I feel like the girls are too focused on their ice cream to notice anything else around them.
Last of the prompts for #WorldWatercolorMonth 2018 – Celebration of Colour.
Never tried to paint like that, it might be quite a challenge though.
This little guy again. I saw him parked on a different street this time, waiting patiently.
Malinalco is full of churches. This is the churchyard closest to where I stayed.
What do you think came first, the tree or the wall?
