Pencil.

This is a drawing of Miku from An Cafe. It’s far from perfect but I like it nevertheless. This was drawn from a picture I found on the internet.

Dance of the Silverware – Part 2

Pencil and China ink diluted with water.

Second picture of the Silverware-Series. The technique was quite the playful one. First the spoons and scoops were outlined with pencil and the “coloured” by China ink diluted in different levels to add grayscales. Furthermore, the paper was partially drenched with water and then undiluted China ink was added.

I got nominated by kofegeek to get this lovely award!

The Liebster Award is given to up-and-coming bloggers who currently have fewer than 200 followers. You’re supposed to pass it along to five other bloggers in return.

The rules are simply:

Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
Reveal your top 5 picks (or more) for the award and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
Post the award on your blog.

I don’t know wether these blogs already have 200 followers or more (how can you see that?), but these are my top picks which seem to have not received the award yet:

Black fineliner and edding.

This was a birthday present for a friend. It was quite fun to work with a new style. I should try that out again.^^

Pencil.

A Drawing of my sister which was drawn from a photograph. Like always, I didn’t have enough patience to draw the background properly…

Are there any tips you have for drawing proper backgrounds?

Poses Part 1

Pencil an reduced China ink.

This was an exercise in drawing a real life model.

First a rough sceletal structure was drawn with pencil and/or China ink, defining the reference points like joints and the body ratio. Then, the body outline was added and given substance by layering with China ink. At some points you can see the “sceleton” still shinig through.

The heart was cut out from another sheet of paper and inserted into the shadows hand.
