Capybaras are the life of the party…. or so they say.
The black and white version below is also part of my Capybara Colouring Book.
I would love to see your version of it!

Capybara teeth never stop growing
Like with other rodents, capybaras’ front teeth never stop growing. Their incisors are strong and chisel-like, making them highly effective at cutting through grass.
In order to keep their teeth to a reasonable length, they get worn down from all the eating they do.
This little capybara and many other fun facts you find in my colouring book.
Capybaras Love an All-You-Can-Eat Salad Bar
Have been eating heaps during the weekend. Time to get active again.
Capybaras are vegetarians and they eat lots of greens, sometimes more than 3-4
kilograms a day! They feed on grasses and aquatic plants, but also fruit and bark can be on the
menu.
This little chef and more fun facts you can find in my Capybara Colouring Book.
Have a beautiful Monday!
Hiding From the Rain
Pouring rain today and I am hiding under the blanket. This capybara was not so lucky but was caught by the downpour while camping.
This capybara is also part of my capybara colouring book which you can find here.
Have a great weekend!
Everything is better when in good company
At least that is my opinion. I prefer to share a good meal with friends rather than eating on my own.
Capybaras are very social creatures. They like to be surrounded by friends and family.
More fun facts and drawings you can find in my capybara colouring book.
Where are you flying to?
I’m currently dreaming about a Greek island. Not sure where this capybara is going to. But you can set the scene and add the background in my capybara colouring book, which you can find here.
More description about the book you can find also here.
Have a lovely day!
Capybaras are back!
I self-published another book!
For all those capybara fans out there, I put several of my capybaras together and made a colouring book!
The book has 18 unique capybara ink illustrations that you can colour in. Put some funny mustaches on the capybaras and add creative backgrounds.
You’ll also find some fun facts about these adorable rodents throughout the book. So it is not only fun images but also a little bit educational and entertaining.
More details about the book you can find here.
Or go straight to Amazon and order it. The perfect present for young and old.
Sleepy Dog
Still learning how to use my new Caran d´ache coloured pencils. I have a vision in my mind but so far I have not been able to reproduce it on paper yet.
Practice makes perfect, so I will keep on drawing and see what comes out of it eventually.
Doggos
This is what happens when you want to use all your new coloured pencils at once. A coloured mess.
Oh well. At least I tried them all out. I will try again. But I am also on the way to buy a few more coloured pencils. Just in love with them!
Camel says Hello
A random camel as a quick drawing practice of the day… It seems like I am developing a style…
And I finally updated and did my portfolio anew. Take a look!
Pool Time II
Just putting out more pug illustrations from our Nobbi & Kobbi – Best Friends book.
Pugs are fun and silly looking sometimes. That’s at least my opinion.
If you and your kids like pugs, then this children’s book may be for you. My first attempt at illustrating a children’s story.
How flexible are you?
Another somewhat lazy quick sketch.
I think I am quite good with my flexibility but not anywhere near this lady with her monkey.
Don´t ask me what the monkey is doing there, he just happened to show up.
Changing Perspective Again
Another quick sketch inspired by Pinterest.
I am currently enrolled in a book cover design class. Looking at a topic and theme from different angles can often be eye opening, and also inspirational.
Pool Life
Kobbi the pug is waiting for summer. So am I.
I am certainly ready to go to the pool, if it just wasn´t so windy today…
More silly pug drawings you find in my first illustrated children’s story written by my Icelandic friend Norbert. The story is now also available in Icelandic for any language enthusiasts out there.
What you looking at?
Yes, I do like the perspective of the big noses.
Be Like a Duck
Be like a duck. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath.
– Michael Caine
I think I’ve finally developed quite a good routine with my daily drawing practice. This time without ink.
Donkey Business
Time to mix things up a bit.
Have a great weekend everyone!
The Dilemma with French Bulldogs
I am torn regarding French Bulldogs. I find them somewhat ridiculous, but also extremely adorable….
Opinions? They are certainly fun to draw!
Morning Walk
The best thing about having a dog is, that you are forced to go out in any wind and weather. Sometimes it’s tough but almost always rewarding.
Hello there! What has this little one spotted?
Walking the Walk II
I do like to draw these different perspectives. Really helps me to study people in a fun way. Another Pinterest inspired “quick” sketch.
