Jörn: Sam Elliot


I'm not a real fan of mustaches.
It becomes only a few men, so
there are Tom Selleck, Lemmy
Kilmister or Sam Elliot. And all
look strange without.
This is a digital sunday-sketch
with the attention on composition
and color (and beard:)

Matthias: Knights in white satin


... and dragons in dungeons ... well-well.
Greetings: Matthias

Lars : fairy tale castle


This sketch was my result of our last drawing night.
We worked again on that "dragon/knight"-theme and extendet it on castles - or did something completely different.

Have a nice weekend, folks!

Olf : Dragon!




Our last Drawing Night's theme was Knights & Dragons. At first I though it was a marvellous idea - far from it! I had not drawn a dragon in ages and I pretty struggled with it. So I've practised a little bit since. This is one of the better efforts.

Cheers,

Olfie

Thies : Harbour Night Fever

Some Impressions from our Drawing Night three weeks ago...

Monday, November 09, 2009

Jörn: Clint Eastwood


I found an elder sketch and thought
it was worth to work it out.
I made him a hundred years older.
But i dunno, perhaps he actually IS
a hundred years older?

Matthias: Dragon & Knight

Olf : Scary Girl!





Yesterday I was looking through a stack of folders with older sketches and rediscovered this one. Well, 2008 is not that long ago, but I had almost forgotten it.

Cheers,

Olfie

Matthias: Grrr


With a touch of a vital black.
Greeting: Matthias

Jörn: Karl Lagerfeld


A really queer old stick, arrogant, headstrong
and choleric but lovely anyhow and always good
for a show. And a face that asks for a caricature.
Most work i got with his eyes, 'cause finding a
foto of him without sunglasses is nearly impossible.

PS: Signature update :)

Die Bohrinsel




Some virtual paint.. . I've testes my New wacom intuos3, my first tablet at all, to colorize this. This girl is just one part of a harbor-scene, created in the last bilderwummen-night. I hope i'll ad tue other parts someday. You might Want to Know, why she is so upset.

End of week is Halloween – beware of monster.

And if you want to see my drawings from the 24. Bilderwumme Drawing Night (theme »harbour«), click here.

Jörn: Lt. Aldo Raine


Probably the thousandth inglorious basterds
caricature, but Brad Pitt got such a thankful
face and doing him was great fun!
First i wanted to take the in my opinion best
actor, Christoph Waltz, but didn't found a large
foto.

Lars : underwater world


Here's a crazy vision of underwater living from my lucky childhood days, which fits again perfectly into the subject "diving".
It was drawn with a black ballpoint on recycled paper and coloured with pencils and felt pens from the super market.
By the way: Three of the fish were drawn by my brother Jens (can you guess which ones?)- so it was kind of an early co-production.
I hope you enjoy.

Olf : Cyclops in Colour!





This is last week's sketch in full epic colour.

The chap's name is Polyphem. Of course it's before that damn Ulysses thing happended. Everything was topnotch. You know, hanging around with your goats and sheep, pulling out some trees every once in a while and having a good time being grumpy and unkind. And then that bloke Ulysses comes around the corner to gouge your eye out just because you told that nasty creep to bug off! Dreadful.

Since it's Greek mythology it's almost bound to be art.

Cheers,

Olfie

Matthias: Nachtgestalten


Exclusive for the Bilderwumme: IN COLOR a panel from my total mini two-page graphic-novel »A Dream«! Yes! Enjoy it.

Nachtrag:
Die kleine Geschichte ist fertig und auf meim Blog zu bewundern. Direkt hier geht’s lang. Und nicht traurig sein: Ist »nur« in schwarz-weiß.

Jörn: Yeehaw


A horse. I did it. Normally i avoid drawin' horses 'cause i never carry it off. I was so happy about that i fleshed it out a bit more.

Lars : Moondog

Here's another funny wrapping idea for a birthday present (you surely remember my "birthday bug" posted 09/25/2008).
This nice little space pet is made of a HANUTA-box, wrapping paper and some things I found in all the mess on my desk (a part of an old shampoo bottle, a piece of wire, paper clips and some corks).
Enjoy this and have a nice weekend, folks!

Careful: Do not eat!
An amendment to last weeks Drawing Night theme: Frankreich. I wasn't there, but this pic fits by accident.

Thies : Romantic Bug



Autumn is not far away so the bugs become romantic (perhaps because of the toadstool vibes).

Das Thema war diesmal, Achtung, festhalten!, »Frankreich«. Hier sind zwei meiner Kritzeleien, mit Farbe aufgepimpt.

This is my illustration for the actual cover of „Literarischer Salon Hannover“ and can be seen on posters and flyers all over the town. Below you can see another version, including more detail. Perhaps a little too much detail. So we took the other one.

Joern: Karate Kid

Theme of last weeks Drawin' Night was Karate Kid. What a stupid idea! We were all a miserable failure. No suitable result (Perhaps 'cause none of us is a real martial arts pro). So later i kept busy with studying a few K1-Sites to find poses for drawin' - only to get the feeling of success.

Thies : sketching for shy artists pt.2

Another example of sketching without irritating views over the shoulder by passing strangers. Take a nice group photo from Google (like this one from North Corea) and try...

This Sketch is based on a photograph from the book "Die totale Erinnerung" by Kracht, Munz & Nikol.

A pirate to keep things going.

More to follow.

Perhaps you remember my old sketch of these bears -
here is the final artwork...
The biker looks a little bit like Dom Deluise as Captain Chaos.

Nothing special this time. Just a portrait of a little criminal.

This is my contribution to the next annual of “Die Illustratoren”. I hope you like it.

Olf : Moongazers!





This is a follow-up to my honeymoon post. The good thing about doing an illustration in individual parts - apart from taking much more time, making everything more complicated and amazingly blowing up your Photoshop document - is that you can easily do a new arrangement. Took me about twenty minutes. And it's a completely different picture.

Cheers,

Olfie

PS: I've posted some of the sketches and parts over at my blog.

Lars : Beware of vicious dog!


First I wanted to draw a person running away in panic too, but I didn't manage to get that right today. So it's just an angry dog now.
I hope you enjoy it anyway!
Have a nice weekend, folks!
