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.

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”

Portrait Drawings with Mixed Media

Over the past month I started drawing portraits a bit more regularly than usual. I find it very very hard! Usually the people don’t like like themselves in my drawings. Today I am sharing two portraits I am quite proud of. I really liked how those turned out. They are from a drawing session overContinue reading “Portrait Drawings with Mixed Media”

More Landscapes without using Greens!

I the past I often tried to draw and paint landscapes in my sketchbooks with a different mood and with not so much green to achieve what I wanted. But it was truely so hard to do! I almost everytime grabed some kind of green… Recently I shared two landscape sketches without using green andContinue reading “More Landscapes without using Greens!”
