A Surprising Encounter

    Over 3.5 million people and a few thousand foxes live in Berlin, and supposedly the latter can be seen just about everywhere but so far I only ever saw one single fox. It was a couple of years back when I was on my way back home after a late course at uni.

Poker Face

A couple of months ago, I sent my dear friend and author Mary Cathleen Clark an email attached with one of my drawings and asked her, if she would like to write something that would go well with it. And she came up with this one hell of an awesome poem! I didn’t post our combined

A Chinese Character

  This new portrait study gives you a hint as to where I want to travel to someday 😉 I´ve always been fascinated by Asia, especially China and Japan and remember with startling clarity giving impressions of a japanese dancer before family members when I was very young. In order to do so, I borrowed

Animal Quick Sketching

  The summer holidays started this week and the whole family went to the Berlin Zoo to celebrate! 🙂 We had lots of fun, fantastic weather and stuffed ourselves with delicious ice cream! It was also a little premiere for me, as I tried myself the first time on animal quick sketching. It came as

A Bashful Beauty

  I sketched this portrait with Audrey Hepburn in mind, an amazing actress I´ve always admired very much, not only for her stunning and elf-like beauty but for her tremendous skills as a dancer and actress.

A Papuan Portrait

  I´m back on track with my project about learning how to draw faces.

For this I use a couple of books from which to draw different faces. The drawing above shows

Same Face, Different Angle

  This drawing is from the same broken plaster face I shared with you last saturday. This time though it shows its profile. Let me tell you, it really is not easy to draw the same face from different angles and have them look more or less the same! 😉 What I noticed however is,

Et tu, Brute?

  Here comes another broken plaster face I did a drawing of. The accusing expression on it somehow reminded me of the classical phrase “Et tu, Brute?” (You too, Brutus?), which Julius Caesar is supposed to have uttered whilst receiving the final stab by his friend and adopted son Brutus. Although there´s is no evidence

Broken Face

  Finally my eyesight has improved and I don´t need to go out with my sunglasses anymore – well, at least not when it´s cloudy. 🙂 That means I´m back to my sketchpad and pencil – yippieeeeh! 🙂 Having experienced how it is like to be blind as a bat, I did a drawing of

Am I too nosy?

  I hope I´m not too nosy – I know, it´s childish, but the pun is absolutely intended here 😉 – when I ask what type of nose you´ve got? 😉 Mine is rather small and straight 🙂 Please feel free to pick out a nose (“No, I did not say: please feel free to
