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. I freely admit that this drawing does not really look like her…I will have to practice more to get

A Papuan Portrait

  I´m back on track with my project about learning how to draw faces. After having practiced drawing the individual features like eyes, noses, ears and mouths seperately, the next step is to combine those features now! 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

Parts of My Boyfriend

(Dont worry: it´s not as gruesome as it may sound 😉 )   To practice drawing from a life model is something special and very exciting – for both the model and the artist (let me remind you here of that glorious scene in “Titanic” when Jack sketches Rose 😉 ).   That´s why I´ve

“Heaven! I´m in Heaven…”

  Do you know this: when you´re ill some things don´t appeal to you as much as they normally do? For me, unfortunately, that´s how it is with coffee. 😦   After two weeks of involuntary deprivation I´ve been to my local Starbucks and enjoyed a big – BIG! – cup of my favoured blend

Guess What?! A Classic Character in Film and Literature

There´s only one thing that´s good when you´re ill: lying in bed and watching films you love 🙂   This time though I only did a drawing of the main character of the film who also happens to be a very important and prominent character in literature;)   Dare I ask if you can recognize
