Sketches...

Just another sketchbook page...
As you can obviously see I recently watched Surf's Up. I liked the movie very much...The characters were fantastic and the environments and waves were like o_O;
I also liked the documentary style of story telling. Worked surprisingly nice. I'd say it's a must see!

I was stung by them several times today.

I don't mind if you take my blood. You can take as much as you want but please don't use the itching poison. :(

Back in Ludwigsburg

I'm back in Ludwigsburg. I didn't sleep much last night and I immediately fell asleep when I sat down in the plane. I woke up when we landed ^^;

Here are some sketches I did on my way home.
In the subway and at the airport...

mini sketches...

I came back to my hometown Hamburg on thursday last week. I met a friend Katharina B. from primary school on friday! We haven't seen each other for so long. That was awesome.
My flight back to Stuttgart is in about an hour and a half. Need to hurry!
Here are some doodles of my mini sketchbook I always carry with me.

Wednesday Life Drawing

The model was late and two girls, my buddy Bernhard and I had to do 3min poses (with clothes) until the he finally arrived ^^;
Unfortunately the class took only 40min today.

Did some life drawing today.

   

   

Sketching...

Wow the weather is so nice today...Reminds me of the great summer we had this year.
And I'm sitting inside working. T-T

A little sketch during work.

Render Doodles

Some sketches I did while test rendering.
I started to do some sports again we try to play Basketball every day....
It's so exhausting...but fun.

It's incredibly hot here in Germany....what a summer ^^;

Some Open Canvas

Japan is out... T.T But Germany won against Sweden! That match was incredible.
Well, next step is to beat Argentina. Go Germany Go!

I was showing Open Canvas (paint software) to my buddy Bernhard today.
Here is a little sketch I did during the session.

Pastel Doodles

I bought new pastel paper and did some quick sketches. Pastels are really fun but your hands get dirty ^^


  

Oh...almost forgot! My counter says over 10000 visitors and more! Thank you so much for your continuous visits! You guys help me to keep my hands busy ^^v I really appreciate it. Thank you! m(_ _)m

Dwarf

Tried some more pastels...

Cat Bot

Ben Plouffe inspired me to try pastels. And I have to admit I did miss the undo function ^^;
But I had a lot of fun drawing with pastels.
There is also a bit of photoshop involved for the little touch ups.

Dana

This is Dana, exploring the World. A little Character I did for a friend.

Drawing Heads...

Today I watched the "Drawing the Adult Male Head" Gnomon DVD by Bob Kato. I have to say wow...this guy is amazing...
I drew in my sketchbook while the DVD was running. I think I learned a lot today such as working with simple lines 'hard edges' and 'soft edges'.
I also learned a lot about leading the eye in a drawing. 'Where is the focal point', 'Where do I have to add detail' and stuff. It is a really great DVD and I can recommend it to anyone who is interested in drawing.


Todays eye opener: Keep it simple ^^

Hiker

Kong Jr.

Played around with Markers today. I find it very thrilling to sketch directly with pen on paper. No eraser, no undo...no layers ^^;
But it's a good training cause you have to think carefully about each pen stroke.
