This week flew by so fast. Just like this rocket man.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Hanging Out
Sometimes it might help to change perspective.
What you looking at?- Part II
Number 91 in One Week 100 People. Let´s see what else the week has to offer. So far it was a bucket of paint I had ordered! Could be worse I guess.
What you looking at?
Number 90 of One Week 100 People. Hope your week is looking good.
Get a Move on
Not a typical dance move, but maybe something to start of the weekend?
Number 89 in the series of One Week 100 People. The first 70 people where a drain to draw, but after that it actually became fun. I guess that´s why these challenges exists.
Time to Dance
When was the last time you danced?
Back to Black
Missed the ink, so back to ink, and funky poses.
One Week 100 People – Day 6
So I made it to 97 people until the end of last week. Mainly because the pencil drawings started to become more elaborate and I had fun trying different perspectives.
Finished number 100 this morning and will be posting the remainder during the week as I still want to ink them.
One Week 100 People – Day 4
Had to play catch up as a was a bit behind schedule on day 3. Have to say that it still takes me way too long with drawing these.
One Week 100 People – Day 3
Tried a bit of pencil drawing today. It´s been a while.
#OneWeek100People
Realized this morning that #OneWeek100People is on again. Last year I missed it as I was on holiday. So spontaneously decided to sit down and give it a go. Oh boy am I rusty in drawing people. I would be much faster in drawing 1000 capybaras I guess.
Here are the first 20 people… Taken from pinterest.
Inktober Day 14 – Armour
Armadillos meaning “little armoured ones” in Spanish have a pretty impressive armour.
Did you know that the giant armadillo sleeps about 18 hours a day?
Inktober 2020 Day 1 – Fish
Woop! Here I was waiting all September for Inktober to start and then the month started without me noticing!
I haven´t touched my ink and pen since January. I totally forgot how much fun it is and it was surprisingly easy to get back into it. Certainly easier than the previous years. I´m going to follow the official prompt list again and maybe something else… Let´s see what happens.
Just follow the light…
Pink Taxi in Mexico City
Another snapshot. Just opposite of Munal (Museo Nacional de Arte) in Mexico City.
I´m trying to be less lazy and put more details into the drawings. I don´t like drawing buildings or urban sketching I realised. So I consider this a good exercise to get back into it and work on perspectives and on my patience.
El Museo Nacional de Artes
The days are getting shorter and more stormy here, so it is nice to revisit Mexico by drawing it. Another page filled in my travel sketchbook.
In front of the Museo Nacional de Artes in Mexcio City after visiting the Caravaggio exhibition. The museum is housed in a neoclassical building and the building itself is quite stunning. Who has been there?
In front of the museum is a large equestrian statue by Manuel Tolsá of Charles IV of Spain, who was the monarch just before Mexico gained its independence.
Caravaggio in Mexico City
I went to a Caravaggio exhibition at the Museo Nacional de Artes in Mexico City back in spring 2018.
I have to admit that I was a little bit disappointed (maybe also my fault as I did not look at the information properly), but they only had one painting by Caravaggio. The rest of the exhibit was about him in form of a multimedia show and artworks by other artists that got inspired by him.
Nevertheless, I learned a lot about his style and especially his use of light and shadow. The museum in general was definitely worth a visit, as it is in a stunning building. Especially the permanent exhibition was great. That´s where I spotted the little horses from yesterday.
Below my impression of the only painting by Caravaggio at the exhibition.
Mexico Revisited
Time to take a small break from my pelicans.
I have been thinking a lot about Mexico lately. My last trip was in 2018! Time flies indeed! I realized that I never finished my Mexico album. So I decided to revisit it an keep filling the remaining 30+ pages.
Saw these guys standing at a street corner in Polanco, Mexico City, during my stay in spring 2018.
Feeling Frail
This is Inktober remainder number 2 that I forgot to post. The prompt was called frail.
Flew off my bike the other day. I don´t feel frail but rather bruised and bumped. Otherwise ok.
Day 31 – Favourite Colours #WorldWatercolorMonth
Made it to the last prompt of World Watercolor Month – Favorite Colors! I was at a total loss of what to draw, so I took my favourite photo of me and the boyfriend from our fabulous Crete trip in April as inspiration, and just went with it. It is basically us monkeying around in a beautiful forest.
Have a great weekend everyone!
