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.

I Wanna Listen to the Radio

I think we need some cheerful music on this dull and grey November day. The clouds are hanging so low, it almost feels like you can touch them.

Mr Fox and his struggles with the radio – part II. This was part I.

Inktober Day 24 – Dig

I am the king of my castle!

Ok, drawing this one made me absolutely happy and I love how it turned out!
Which one is your favourite Inktober drawings so far?

Inktober Day 15 – Outpost

Inspired by Mr Foxes balloon trip which started back in January, he now made his way to this remote outpost up in the sky. Followed by Mr Mouse of course.

Where is your journey taking you this weekend?

Inktober Day 6 – Rodent

When life gives you lemons…

A capybara – biggest rodent in the world – taking a swim. These impressive semi-aquatic mammals are found throughout much of northern and central South America.

Inktober Day 5 – Blade

It took me a while to figure this one out. And I am not sure where the idea came from in the end. Maybe my need for sun and the beach?

Mr Fox went snorkelling today to look for a precious sea shell.

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.
