Super sunny long weekend ahead of us. It is also Swiss National Day for those who care 🙂
With a weather forecast like this I am not sure there will be much time spend on the drawing desk. There is at least one longer hike on the agenda.
Since the last sunny Saturday, we had nothing but rain and clouds. I don´t mind, as I have a ton of work to do for my paying day job and my non-paying illustration book project.
Added some colour to this little fella. It felt too grey in grey. Or maybe it is due to the low hanging sky outside. Anyhow… time for ice-cream. What is your favourite? My go to is dark chocolate brownie.
Have been doing character drawings all weekend and in between some odd animals.
Cannot keep myself from not drawing dogs. They are just too cute.
Have been drawing a lot of funny rabbits until late last night. Now I am paying the price by being over-tired. But why stop when you are having fun?
I really love the vibrance of these Caran d’ache Luminance pencils.
Day 6 of drawing random animals from my Pinterest board. What do you use for inspiration?
As mentioned previously, I gave in to my need to draw cute dogs… Do you have a favourite animal?
Happy weekend!
Alight more dogs, but I am trying to mix it up again with. Sausage dogs are the weirdest creatures. And it’s been a long time since I drew a capybara. Here is the whole collection, in case you missed them. You can also find the odd Capybara in my Etsy shop.
I love ink. And yes it can get messy…
The journey continues….
Secretary bird. I had to look up if he actually exists, with all those AI images I wasn’t sure. And he exists indeed, this cool looking dude.
The secretary bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) is a unique, large raptor native to sub-Saharan Africa, known for its impressive snake-hunting abilities and distinctive appearance.
He stands about 1.2 to 1.4 meters (approximately 4 to 4.5 feet) tall, making it one of the tallest birds of prey. It has a wingspan of over 2 meters (6.6 feet).
