Another scene from my Capybara and Friends – Colouring book which I colored in with Chameleon markers. Just for the fun of it.
Meanwhile it’s still snowing here. I don´t think we can expect spring before June this year…

Colour me in
I got bored so I started colouring in my capybara drawings!
If you want to do the same, you can find this little Mr Fox and capybara illustration in my Capybara and Friends – Colouring book.
Art vs Artist
I made a last one of these Art vs Artists collages. Also more for me as I enjoyed taking a look at my work from last year.
Below are my first proper attempts of watercolour illustrations. I still feel like I have a long way to go. But practice makes you maybe not perfect, but better bit by bit.
Happy weekend!
Art vs. Artist
There was this art vs artist posts on Instagram and I am late to the party but this was the image I put together.
It has been a though year with many downs put I have certainly learned a lot illustration wise. I still feel like I have a long way to go until I get to where I want my illustrations to be, but hey, it’s a journey.
Curious to see how my style and skills will further develop throughout the year.
What are you looking forward to?
Me in my Imaginary Garden
Full blown snow storm raging outside. So its nice to be inside all warm and cozy, dreaming of imaginary worlds.
This nature capybara is also part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Colouring Book.
Capybaras are Excellent Swimmers
Capybaras have webbed feet and it makes them excellent swimmers.
They can dive and hold their breath for five minutes at a time, and their ears fold back when they are underwater so they never have to worry about water getting stuck in their ears.
This diving capybara is also part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Colouring Book.
Silly me
Fishing for turtles?…..
This silly Mr Fox is also part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Colouring Book.
Mr Selfie Fox
Another sneak-peak of my upcoming Mr Fox book…
Wondering what he is up to? Stay tuned.
Going on More Fox Adventures
For those of you who are not fed up yet with Mr Francis Fox and Konstantin Mouse (yes, those are the names I seem to have settled for, what do you think?), here is a little teaser of my first own Mr Fox story!
I have been working on this book for a while now, struggling especially with the fact that I am not a writer. So it will be more of a picture story for young children than a literary masterpiece….
Have a great weekend!
Never Lose your Sense of Wonder
Old drawing from the very beginnings of Mr Fox, but I still very much like it.
This is also part of the Mr Fox Colouring Book.
Inktober Day 18 – Moon
First thing that came to mind for this prompt was mooning. Don´t ask me why!
Have you ever mooned someone?
Inktober Day 10 – Pick
Seems like the mushrooms have become reoccurring characters…
Inktober Day 6 – Spirit
This forest scene is inspired by the little mushroom person that came out of nowhere in the last drawing…
Inktober Day 4 – Knot
Inspired by Marsupilami. Do you remember him?
I used to watch it a lot when I was a kid.
Pumpkin Delivery Service
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?
