Alright, another digital version of a Klipspringers feet.
They don’t actually skateboard. Or do they?
This small antelope is found in East Africa and South Africa. More of a browser than a grazer, the Klipspringer enjoys fruits, flowers and young plants. It’s also an agile rock climber.
Have a great weekend!
I am experimenting more with different brushes, trying to find my digital drawing style. I don’t like digital illustrations when they look stiff and too neat and would like to still make it look hand drawn. So I have been experimenting with different brushes and techniques over the weekend. What do you think?
Turtle is my subject or rather victim of choice. I am just having fun with it.
My to-do-list seems to get longer rather than shorter since I decided to put more emphasis on my art business.
Another digital illustration as warm up sketch. The prompt is skull.
I am in the works of illustrating a book, the traditional way. And I am also looking to set up an etsy shop. So watch this space.
Have been postponing going back to the gym for a month now. Tomorrow is the first of the month and I just signed up. No excuses!
Having fun with the prompt “angel” and “demon”…
Another digital drawing attempt.
I am just following the Inktober 52 prompt list now for easy inspiration. It helps me to find a quick idea of what to draw as a warm up sketch. I am still trying out different digital pens. That’s why the turtles have a different feel to them, at least in my opinion.
More practice in digital drawing. The turtle is a good subject for it. What do you think?
Trying out some more digital drawing.
Picture Perfect – A Mr Fox Story was my first ever attempt at a children´s book on my own. I had no plan and no idea what I was doing 2 years ago and this is the result of it. And I have to say, I am still quite happy with it. I had never written a story before, so please bear with me.
If you are curious about the story, get your free kindle ebook on Amazon until the 22nd of November. I am just happy to put the story out there.
Have a lovely Sunday!
Todays warm up sketch.
I had so much fun with the Inktober prompts and my turtle and spider that I decided to keep on going and use the Inktober 52 prompt list to keep on going. It’s a nice way to do warm up sketches while I am working on other projects.
Here is the first prompt – Build. I am not sure what mood I am currently in, building sand castles or snow ones? Or who knows, maybe ash castles, depending on whether the volcano decides to erupt or not 🙂
Despite having been late to the party, I really enjoyed the Inktober challenge as every year and I am really happy with the outcome. Just like in the previous years, I was not sure where the journey would take me. And as every year I am happy about what I learned and the results.
I got so much positive feedback about the little turtle and spider, that I am considering of putting an actual children´s book together with these two characters. So watch this space.
Here are all of the 32 drawings ( yes, I did one extra because I had so much fun)
Did you do inktober? What is your take away from the challenge?
Last but not least. So I rushed through all the prompts in 4 days. And as every year I do like the process. From not knowing where this would go initially, it turned into an exercise of quick minimalist sketches.
Sometimes you need to face your inner beast…
Good morning! We had the first proper frost here yesterday. Time to bring out those winter jumpers again.
Still catching up with the last Inktober prompts. Will be finishing one day late which is not so bad considering that I drew all the prompts within 4 days!
#18 Saddle
#19 Plump
I ended up doing two versions of it.
#21 Chains
Adding a new piece to my portfolio. Almost happy how it turned out. This is the third version. Ink, watercolour and coloured pencils on mixed media paper.
