Sketchbook – Drawing Practice – Timed Owl Drawings
Hey everybody. I draw daily in my sketchbook using lots of different mediums together. My most favourite subjects are animals and landscapes. As a little challenge I either visit one of my Patreon Artist’s drawing sessions or I make my own. I then mainly do some timed drawings of a certain subject. What I don’tContinue reading “Sketchbook – Drawing Practice – Timed Owl Drawings”

Sketchbook Pages from our Holidays
It’s been a while that I shared something from my sketchbook here. It’s not that I am not drawing, no, it’s just the small amount of time a day has…. Today I am sharing some of my sketches I did in our holidays where we’ve been at the end of May… We’ve been in theContinue reading “Sketchbook Pages from our Holidays”
Drawing from Vintage Books
Today I am sharing some sketchbook pages that are drawn from two of my favourite vintage art books. It’s from Thorburn’s Mammals & Thorburn’s Birds. These books are so beautiful and inspiring! I love drawing from them as the images are already rendered and that makes it easier to interpret them more loosely than drawingContinue reading “Drawing from Vintage Books”
Loose Watercolor Sketching
Sometimes when I don’t have much time to draw or when I am low on energy, I just grab my watercolors and draw loosely. I love doing this and often the results are quite pretty! Today I am sharing three pigeons! For the one on the top left I have a little process clip forContinue reading “Loose Watercolor Sketching”
Landscape Sketches from Mapcrunch
Today I am sharing some more landscapes from my sketchbook. In the evenings I often draw on the couch, in front of the TV, surrounded by many different art supplies that are not so messy. For the Oilpastels I am using the ones from Jaxon, as they don’t make a lot of mess. For inspirationContinue reading “Landscape Sketches from Mapcrunch”
When in doubt – draw the cat
Today I am sharing some drawings of our beloved cat, Milli. She is sitting a lot on my studio sofa and I draw her from time to time in the evenings whilst watching TV. Sometimes I draw her from photos, but I prefer drawing her from real life, what means she usually is asleep onContinue reading “When in doubt – draw the cat”

Working on a preped background – Landscape Drawings
A really fun way to start a sketch is working on a preped background. That means I already have something going on and I can work with. It makes it easier to start a spread because it’s not blank anymore and it often leads to unexpected results. I have put two videos in the postContinue reading “Working on a preped background – Landscape Drawings”
