Rooster in the making

While tidying up I had found this old Polychromo, it was lying at the bottom of a travel bag and looked pretty demolished. I sharpened it and somehow I felt like drawing a chicken. Now it will be a rooster and here is a first look.

rotten food – again

I had once cut out this study for an art folder, so I don’t have a shadow, but maybe I should do it again. I think when it’s time for strawberries again, I’ll try it at my current drawing level.

Don’t ask me who exactly that should be. This picture came directly from my hand, through the biros, onto the page during a very long train journey. It’s been a while but somehow I like it 🙂

who needs correctly placed shadows?

Here is an oil painting. I have hardly any experience with oil paint and this is the first time I have really seriously tried to produce something respectable. This brutal shadow is the result of – I’m trying to fix this. Is this about the face or the hand? Who knows for sure.

Kiwano Horn Cucumber

Today I would like to introduce you to a relatively old nature study. It was made by me around 2011. I used watercolour and a few coloured pencils. Here, some shadow is definitely needed to create depth/spatiality.
In case you wonder why this cucumber looks so strange, depicting rotting vegetables and fruits was very trendy back then, at least in my perception.
