I lvoe liquorice

I always find it hard to come up with a new topic for a drawing, sadly I seem to need one or the drawing doesn't get good. So one time I thought of this "I love ..." theme which made it a little easier. So with this one I confess, that I'm totally addicted to liquorice. My boyfriend hates it though, so I dont eat it that often, because otherwise he wont let me kiss him.

nudes nudes nudes

Some latest stuff from my sketchbook. I'm trying to experiment with different techniques so that I get to know the tools better by playing arround. I think nudes are great for that because on the one hand you get to know anatomy better and on the other hand I feel that creativity can be challenged if you have to work in certain limits, in this case: You try out whatever you want, as long as it somehow looks like a human body.









refferences are from these amazing photographers who are so nice to share their work on deviantart:

mjranum , Renoux , Elrisha , GentlemansClubStock (not a photographer, but a great archive) and gregg friedberg

studies again

I'm working on a commission right now where I'm doing vector illustrations for a book, so for fun and relaxation I'm doing thes pencil studies. Like in the last post the amazing references came from: http://josemanchado.deviantart.com/ and http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/

more studies

I try to do pencil studies of nude photos a little more often lately, because I figured not only does it help me to understand the human body and also lightning and shading better, but it also helps me to have more and more control over my pencil, and improves the intuition.

Hot and Cold

Here is a little something I did for the drawing jam over at the drawingboard

My first sketchy attempt:


the final piece:


I just totally love what you can do with illustrator: pattern brushes, opacity masks, blend modes, its just an amazing programm.
I started with this sketch:



I decided instead of whining about it I'd rather embrace the cold weather:

Finally something new!

These are some random sketches of the last moths.

revising old art

While going through my files, I found some old pictures that i still really like, but I fell like there are to many things wrong with the color and compostion. So I sat down again, an worked on them again, here are two examples:
