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”

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 borrowedContinue reading “A Chinese Character”
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 asContinue reading “Animal Quick Sketching”
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 getContinue reading “A Bashful Beauty”

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,Continue reading “Same Face, Different Angle”
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?”
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 ofContinue reading “Broken Face”
Sorry, but this is not me! ;)
Here comes another rear for you to endear 😉 But just to be clear about this: it´s not me! Hope you like it anyway… 🙂
My Lips Are Sealed
After working on eyes and ears, I began with drawing mouths and lips. But because teeth are a whole different matter, my lips stay sealed 😉
