Inktober Day 5 – Raven #2
Tried something completely different as well for the raven prompt. Although I don’t feel like drawing this character is really me. I really prefer drawing animals and I feel like I haven’t found my style yet when it comes to drawing people appropriate for children’s books. I will keep on practicing though.
I am still on track with my Inktober drawings, I just haven’t managed to take photos and upload them yet. They will follow shortly.
Who else is doing Inktober here?
Inktober Day 5 – Raven
Fly away with me….
Adventures of the Little Fly IV
Continuation of introducing the Adventures of the Little Fly.
Something was different in the garden of the little fly. The flowers seemed to let their heads hang and also the bees flew slower than usual.
Adventures of the Little Fly
I thought it is about time to introduce the second children’s book that I have been illustrating. It is now available on Amazon.
Unfortunately the story is only available in Icelandic, and I don’t think there are that many Icelandic readers here. But maybe there are aspiring Icelandic learners. It is certainly suitable for them as it is intended for children 6 years and older.
The first book I ever illustrated was the story of Nobbi and his pug Kobbi, written by my friend Norbert, which you can find here.
The Adventures of the Little Fly is written also by an Icelandic author, Rúna Vala, and tells the story of a little fly who lives in a tree in a garden. Puzzled by the changing seasons and the change the garden goes through the little fly sets our on unexpected adventures.
The fly has no name as it is just a fly, not a very small one, but not a very big one either. Just about average.
Flight of the Pelican
After drawing 100 people it was about time to throw in a random pelican in between.
Happy Monday!
More People…
This week flew by so fast. Just like this rocket man.
Have a good weekend everyone!
Inktober Day 28 – Float II
I dunno…. You tell me what´s going on here.
Inktober Day 28 – Float
I found some red ink from last year.
November weather has arrived.
Fly away with me!
Inktober Day 18 – Trap
I love those fly trap plants. We had one and ended up feeding it. Not with foxes though, just with flies.
Inktober Day 15 – Outpost
Inspired by Mr Foxes balloon trip which started back in January, he now made his way to this remote outpost up in the sky. Followed by Mr Mouse of course.
Where is your journey taking you this weekend?
Inktober Day 9 – Throw
Fly me to the moon….
Flying High II
Start of a new week. The pelican series will come to an end soon. As soon as I finish my pelican book!
I realized after drawing the pelican above that I have drawn him before. See below.
5 years are between both drawings. Which one do you prefer? I remember that the one below took me ages to finish. The one above was pretty much a 10 min sketch!
Flying High
So this week once again just flew by quickly.
As the weather forecast is fantastic for the next couple of days, I will be off to a hiking trip in the Icelandic highlands. I also promise that the pelican series will come to an end soon. Latest when Inktober starts!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Flying into the Weekend
Off to the countryside to barbecue some fish. We not gonna catch it ourselves, that is too much work. But the eating part, we certainly can do.
Colourwise this pelican is one of my favourites so far. What do you think?
Happy weekend everyone!
Flight of the Pelican II
Did you know that pelicans fly at an average speed of 25 km/h but they have been record with top speed of up to 65 km/h?
Their wing span ranges from 183 cm – 350 cm depending on the species. So yes, they are quite massive and you rather don´t mess with them.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Flight of the Pelican
The last couple of months just flew by. As they say, time flies when you are having fun and things are all over the place.
After spending the last 4 months enjoying life in Greece and Switzerland due to multiple flight cancellations, I am finally back on the island. As drawing came rather short the last months I am eager to take it up again.
One of the fondest memories of recent years is when we were watching pelicans surfing the waves of the Pacific Ocean in Guatemala. It looked like they where having a blast!
