even more coffee / noch ne Kaffeepause

This time in front of a hardware store. I was waiting in the car and started sketching but soon a huge car blocked my view so I added the color later at home. Die Skizze ist auf dem Parkplatz von einem Baumarkt entstanden. Ich habe im Auto gewartet und hatte eine prima Sicht. Bis nach…

Another coffee / wieder Kaffeepause

This time at the art supply store. This man was enjoying his new book while waiting for his wife. She frequently came back to the cafe inside the supply store with new paints and brushes. And because he changed position I could sketch him twice:-) Nochmal Kaffee, dieses Mal bei Boesner. Der Mann hat sich…

Cup of Coffee / Kaffeepause

Last week I rewarded myself and went to a coffee shop. To be honest I did it twice but the second time was while shopping in one of my favorite art supply stores. And I am still hunting people as you can see. The waiter was waiting for something to do, no other customers at…

#OneWeek100People day 5

Mission completed! At the beginning I didn’t think I would end up with 100. The day off helped a lot to gather more sketches than usual. What did I learn? You need at least a full converter of Lexington Grey ink for this project. I feel more comfortable sketching in public even if people see what…

#OneWeek100People2017 day 4

Yes I know… no pencil  today I said. But I used it again. There were a few little pencil lines first and then water soluble ink and a waterbrush. And a lot of fun! I had a day  off work so the fun was even double. Ja, ich weiß, ich wollte den Bleistift weglassen… hat…

#OneWeek100People2017 day 3

Today I started sketching on my way to work on the train. In the afternoon I had a few minutes time at the hairdresser. And in the evening it was the monthly drink&draw meeting usk Duesseldorf/Cologne. It is fun to sit and sketch very relaxed with other sketching friends. No need to argue what you…

#OneWeek100People2017 day 02

Like yesterday the first few model were in the newspaper.Then I headed to my local Ikea to hunt some people for this challenging challenge.  I used a Leporello that I made for this event. All 100 people should fit in. Hope I counted the pages correctly:-) Genau wie gestern waren aber die ersten Skizzen nach…

#OneWeek100People2017 day 01

Believe it or not but I really managed to draw about 20 people yesterday. For the first few I took pictures from a newspaper as a reference. And then my painting friends were chosen as models 🙂 I used a fountain pen and Noodlers LexingtonGrey… and nearly no pencil drawing. That is why some look…

one more / Nachschlag

Although the 5th season (carnival) is already over here is another quick sketch from the street last week. Die 5. Jahreszeit ist zwar schon wieder vorbei, aber hier habe ich noch eine Skizze, die im Getümmel auf der Straße entstanden ist.

waiting for the parade / Karneval

Last weekend the so called 5th season reached its peak in Rheinland and I had a very comfortable place to watch one of the carnival parades in Meerbusch. A good opportunity to quickly sketch some people waiting for the parade without getting caught! Letztes Wochenende erreichte die 5. Jahreszeit im Rheinland ihren Höhepunkt mit zahlreichen…
