Trying out a different style following Christopher Hart’s Modern Cartooning. Quite pleased with my self-portrait at the end. 🎨

After a busy week I found some time again to do some sketches. Using the box method seems like a good way to understand head proportions better. Additionally, basic line practice gives me some more confidence in general. 🎨
Back from a short trip to Bratislava - a city that has served as a getaway from Vienna again and again. This time with a fantastic view of the city from our apartment on the 13th floor. 🗺️✈️
Continuing practice on faces. Minor improvements have been made, but there’s still a long way to go! 🎨
Finally had time to do some work in the #Kleingarten yesterday. Everything’s blooming and the birds are back again! The vegetable field has been planted with green beans, bell peppers, chilis, tomatoes and carrots as well. Next step: deep cleaning the house so I can stay overnight! 🌱
Today‘s drawing session involved some random objects from a book that I’m pretty sure is AI slop…still happy with how they turned out! 🎨
Finally found some time to draw again. After the previous disaster with the human face, I decided to dive into Pypah Santos’ Draw Amazing Faces. It’s a start, but some of these skulls are definitely not human… 🎨
Went to see The Super Mario Galaxy Movie with my nephew today. So much fan service for the older viewers - R.O.B., Fox and Bowser OS made me laugh out loud and feel nostalgic! 🎨🎮🍿
Impressions from and around the #Kleingarten 🌱. Trying to embrace even the bad drawings as with my attempt to copy the fallen tree trunks. Rather happy with the flowers, though. 🎨
First preparations in the #Kleingarten. Looking forward to planting vegetables soon! 🌱
Day 30. The human hand. This was so much easier than expected…not perfect but I’m honestly impressed about how “easy” drawing hands can be.
This is the end of Mark Kistler’s You Can Draw in 30 Days. I can recommend this one to those who consider getting into drawing! Let’s see what’s next! 🎨
Day 29. The human eye (and a cheetah’s). Enjoyed this one more than yesterday’s face lesson. Especially working with my own eye as a reference (the middle one) was fun! One more day to go! 🎨
Day 28. The human face…or what I think about it: a mess. I didn’t expect to create masterpieces when attempting this lesson, but this was just frustrating. With the eye and hand still coming up, this is not a good start for the final sessions. 🎨
Day 27. Lettering in two-point perspective. 🎨
This. Was. A. Struggle! Took me several hours to do this. Some retrospection is in order: Did I…
After this disaster, I’m getting more and more scared by the thought of doing human faces, eyes and hands next…you should, too. You have to see the results!
Day 26. A city in two-point perspective. Four more days to go in Kistler’s book… 🎨
Day 25. A castle in two-point perspective. Just half a page today as the two-point lessons are all rather repetitive - which is good because the last three activities are already intimidating: the human face, eye and hand 😬. 🎨
Day 24. A tower in two-point perspective. Very technical, but still fun! 🎨
A nightly visitor at the #Kleingarten. Hedgehog food seems to be tasty for foxes, too. 🌱
Day 23. A city in one-point perspective. Don’t know when and why I started to turn it into something out of a post-apocalyptic narrative. 🤷♂️🎨
Day 22. One-point perspective…and I tried to add a medieval tapestry again. I might have some unresolved issues… 🎨
Day 21. Trees - love the trunks, hate the proportions of the leaves. 🎨
Day 20. Volcanoes, craters, a cup of coffee…and a space chase. Rather happy with how this one turned out! 🎨
Day 19. Pyramids. 🎨
Day 18. The Scroll. Might have been a bit too overconfident when attempting to copy a medieval depiction of a bear on my last scroll…seems like this one and the terrifying koala from day 8 might be buddies. I don’t enjoy the black background behind the scroll either. 🎨
Day 17. Rippling flags and some trumpets in a wall. 🎨
