I´m experimenting with adding a bit of colourful highlights to my ink drawings. What do you think?
I have also decided to spend Inktober to explore new and old characters.

Inktober Day 2 – Suit
Business bunny resting after a long day at work. Maybe this will be you tonight?
Inktober Day 1 – Crystal
Inktober is here again!
I think ink is still my favourite medium to draw with. I haven’t picked any particular topic to draw this year but I will just follow the official Inktober prompt list and see what comes out of it. I think I will experiment creating different characters.
Let this owl look into her crystal ball to tell you what happens next.

Happy October 1st!
It’s the beginning of Inktober! I haven’t started with the Inktober sketch just yet but will get to it soon.
Meanwhile I tried to draw something a bit different, inspired by a Draw this in your style challenge on Instagram . I haven’t really been doing people illustrations for children’s books, but I think I am quite happy with my first attempt.
What do you think?
Adventures of the Little Fly VIII
Continuation of introducing the Adventures of the Little Fly.
The tree of the little fly is illuminated by winter lights.
Owl Orchestra Part III
Warm up sketch for today – Owl playing piano. Why not.
Drew this using my “brand new” 30 year old Mont Blanc fountain pen that I received as a gift the other week. The pen is beautiful and it just smoothly goes over the paper. Perfect for sketching on the road, which is a habit I want to take up.
Owl Orchestra Part II
Still exploring the idea of a musical owl a bit more. This time she is hitting the drums. Used a new nib to draw this and I am finally happy with my purchase. No scratched paper this time.
Are you playing an instrument? What instrument should the owl play tomorrow?
Catch me if you can
Art supply shops are like candy shops. You go in to buy the one thing you want and walk out with a bag of goodies instead. I treated myself to a fountain pen and new nibs for drawing. Plus a ton of different papers and pencils.
First fountain pen trial.
Cycle into the Weekend
Tried something else for today´s warm up sketch. Inspired by the photo of Elliot Erwitt, Provence, 1955.
Have a great weekend!
It´s Raining Cats and Dogs II
Maybe I should start drawing cats too. At the end of the day I will always remain a dog person though.
Inspiration of funny dogs comes from Pinterest.
It´s Raining Cats and Dogs
That expression came to mind when I looked out the window this morning. So naturally I felt like drawing a funny dog as the sketch of the day. Trying to get back into the habit of sketching daily.
I also felt curious of where the expression comes from and turns out it is not quite clear.
Reference image of this funny dog is from Pinterest.
Honey Badger don´t take shit

Honey Badger don’t care about Lemons
Be like honey badger!

I’ll be adding more honey badgers at the end of the week to the collection.
Coffee first. Scheme later.
Honey badger also need their coffee. Who else is a coffee person here?
Black or milk?
As the boyfriend would say, give me coffee as dark as my magic (or my soul) … Depends on the 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.
Dropping Ink All Over
When you try to do a quick sketch and the ink flies all over the desk…
I think it still took me about 30 min to do this one. So not that quick after all.
Wine Time
I do like a good wine. This is the last of the 100 people challlenge. Although I am already continuing with it and have reached #105 by now. I really do love to see the improvement I went through and how easy it has become to sketch people. I just need to work more on the speed. As I feel sometimes its takes me way too long.
Cheers and have a great weekend!
Changing Perspective
If your are stuck, sometimes it helps to change perspective.
