This is a page from my portfolio. Maybe someone remembers the dreamy gnome with the wishlist I posted some time ago. With christmas at hand I thought it's the right time to post some more of the bunch. I suppose they are quite busy at this time of the year.
Yesterday I was looking through a stack of folders with older sketches and rediscovered this scary little girl. Well, 2008 is not that long ago, but I had almost forgotten it.
Is it already a month since my last post?! Oh boy, time flies. Okay, here is something more sophisticated: a cyclops. And since it's Greek mythology it's almost bound to be art.
Of course it's before that damn Ulysses thing happended. Everything was topnotch. You know, hanging around with your goats and sheep, pulling out some trees every once in a while and having a good time being grumpy and unkind. And then that bloke Ulysses comes around the corner to gouge your eye out just because you told that nasty creep to bug off! Dreadful.
I will post the coloured version very soon!
Every two weeks we are celebrating the Official Bilderwumme Drawing Night, a nice evening with colleagues and friends dedicated to art of drawing funny pictures. Most of the contestants are posting on our group blog The Bilderwumme, by the way. Usually we pick a theme that sometimes dramatically changes into something completely different. A couple of weeks ago the theme was seafaring. That was much fun! This is one of the sketches I did.
At first I used a brush pen for inking but I wasn't satisfied with the result. It didn't feel appropriate for the style. So I drew another version and used a felt pen instead. (Is felt pen the right word? Or is fineliner better?) I added some shading for now, but I will defiantely colorize it when I find the time.
