Every October, artists all over the world take on the Inktober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month. Inktober has been created by artist Jake Parker in 2009 because he wanted to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. I haven’t done ink drawings in a longContinue reading “Paper, Ink and Pen”

The Changing Seasons – January 2018
I´m in for a new blogging adventure called “The Changing Seasons”, a monthly event and photo challenge that has been originally invented by Max over at Cardinal Guzman and is now in the wonderful and capable hands of my dear friend Su over at Zimmerbitch. January started with the few Christmas decorations I managed toContinue reading “The Changing Seasons – January 2018”
More Summer Companions: Shoes
Last week I forgot something very important on my list of summer companions – shoes!!! Luckily two of my wonderful friends here – Osyth from Half Baked in Paradise and Ann from Muddling Through My Middle Age – mentioned them in their lovely comments in my last post and so I decided to quickly sketch the pairsContinue reading “More Summer Companions: Shoes”
Summer Companions
I can feel that summer is coming to an end here in the northern hemisphere. It seems to come earlier each year and instead of gently drifting of to autumn it will be winter all of a sudden, at least that´s what happened in the last years and I don´t have reason to believeContinue reading “Summer Companions”
Some Impressions of My Week
If you ever wondered what I do when I feel bored – this is it! I simply sketch everything that´s right before my eyes. These sketches are some visual impressions of last week. They are not “Oh my God! What an awesome week you must have had!”-kind of sketches, but simply show youContinue reading “Some Impressions of My Week”
The Picture Behind the Picture
You might have wondered why my drawing for the joined blog post “Fantasy” (The Strix) that I´ve just reblogged, shows the word “Fantasy” in its not so different German spelling “Fantasie”. That´s because there´s a picture behind the picture. 😉 When I was in school – which is a terrifyingly long time agoContinue reading “The Picture Behind the Picture”

About two weeks ago my dear friend Patty asked me if I would like to contribute to a blog post about fairies that was going to show up on her new blog The Strix Being very partial to fairies I was determined to give it a try, even with my eye not beingContinue reading “Finding “Fairy””

I watch the little handsContinue reading “The Wise Age”
Profiling
“Do you know this man???” No, I haven´t changed my profession and joined the profiling specialists of the FBI, I merely am practicing the art of drawing profiles now. 😉 As it happens it´s not as easy as I first thought. It´s just as equally important to get all the proportions right as withContinue reading “Profiling”
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 evidenceContinue reading “Et tu, Brute?”
