I doodled this at work one slow afternoon - my collegue asked me, if I could copy it for him, so I did :-)

Sad Thoughts

Sad Thoughts
Materials: black and white charcoal on toned paper, A4

So this was the first tackle at both charcoal and toned paper. I was quite nervous about smudging, as i experienced in a doodle before. But as I drew I liked it very much :-)
It took me about 3 hours to draw.
She is a Waternymph with a Mermaid-like Tail and she is bending her knees in front of her. The tail was supposed to look less rectangular, but  I had troubles with proportions again ^_^



 Here you can see the work in progress :-)

Coloured Pencil on Paper, A4


She likes fluffy and cuddly things, music and art, being playful and joking around. She doesn´t care about responsibilities, working or cleaning. Instead, she indulges on just about everything that is coming to her mind. She is creative, emotional, loves to get attention for her cuteness, she is childish and selfish and likes to wear a bathrobe. Her favorite place is the drawing desk or the couch. She never cooks, but will devour everything in front of her, most likely sushi she had delivered.

Coloured Pencils on Paper, A4

This was the pencilsketch for the drawing.


I worked forever on the anatomy. I still didn´t get it right, but I still liked the drawing a lot. It was my first fully drawn coloured pencil drawing with background and everything. The shadows/ location of the light souce are off and so are the colors in the background (much to intense for background). Anyways I was quite proud of the result.

Sketch on Paper

So after almost 2 months of not drawing it was finally vacation time - I started learning about perspective and shadowing using youtube videos (30 days drawing challenge by Mark Kistler), my favourite youtube artists are: Mark Crilley, Baylee Jae and PaintingFoxes.

10 minute sketch on paper

Learn how to draw in 1-Point Perspective and Learn how to draw in 2-Point Perspective (both videos from Mark Crilley)
 Mainly I had to draw Rockets for my son...

Techniques on Forshortening
"Ellipses" and "Coils", and The lightning bolt technique
drawn with a youtube video from Sycra

So then I also started to read "Zeichne jeden Tag" from Veronica Lawlor to "broaden my horizon" and get to know new media. Most of them are quite fun and mostly I get weird results - but that is also due to so little time and not sketching
Day 1: The First Step: Stillife with Fineliner
Fineliner on Paper
I was supposed to just doodle what I saw and concentrate on the objects rather than on realism
Day 2: Butterflys and Roses
Pen and Ink on Paper
This one was about trying out ink and quill and getting to know the media

Day 4: Meryl Streep in Death Becomes Her
Coal on Paper
The task was to grab charcoal, turn on a movie and pause randomly, then draw the drozen person on the screen without sketching. Although I am still really bad at proportions I am still amused about the outcome of this one, hence it fulfilled its purpose ^_^


  So then I bought a tiny sketchbook to sketch on playgrounds ^_^
