summer breeze

Even here in northern Hamburg summer has arrived. That's a reason for me to pick some summer-sparkling-sea drawings. Enjoy the sun, everybody!

form does not fallow function.

In this case, it only follows appearance ;-)
Oftentimes when seeing female fantasy character designs, the most important parts, which ought to be protected in order to survive a harsh fight, are left open to show more skin. Or there's an overload of metal, weapon and stuff, that should make it impossible for the character to move.

Nonetheless it looks great, so I made a sketch, searching for some nice shapes. I'm planning on colouring it digitally soon.

Stayin' home, ...

... doing some drawings. My big sketchbook will stay at home now, so I can take along a smaller one that won't be too noticable. More on-the-road-sketches to come!

 

I created some bird charakters for fun. A penguin and a duckling/chick. I like the waddling penguin <3 My boyfriend helped me overcoming the deep mudhole and even inspired me for a character. Such a darling! :3

then he waddled awaaay~ with his cute, tiny hat

creative hole

Good evening!
Lately I've been having the feeling of being stuck in a creative (mud-) hole. I am sketching a lot, but nothing really satisfies me. I guess I have to take my time and work on one image properly to satisfy myself!

My lovely boyfriend saw my alter ego, the pug, and asked why it was in a hole. He said "It needs to be outside and chase some ducks!" So it climbed out, when it had a glimpse of inspiration (although not in an incarnation of a "blue bird", only a duck...but it's getting there)!

As I am working on a web-animation for my friend with the tree-animal-advertisement, I stumbled over the collection of animal drawings I've promised to show once (upon a time).

I'm back!

Sorry for not posting so long...I have been quite busy. I moved to hamburg where animation school started. It's very interesting: we watch lots of movies and get to know all the (animation-studio-) backgrounds. Analizing is one of our main activities, apart from drawing of course. Drawing courses sometimes freak me out because now I have to face all the weaknesses. It's like being at the dentist and he's giving you a root canal treatment - you know it's necessary but the procedure is aweful. So let's all hope my drawings will improve :)
At the moment though I don't have the feeling of improving. Still I believe: Time will tell!
My sketchbook doesn't offer much, unfortunately (apart from jobs and projects that are under construction and cannot be shown in public yet), so you'll have to deal with this random fantasy character. I was thinking about learning more about game design lately. This is only the first step. Some influences 'n stuff. You know. Daaah~
