A weekend in Milan

Last weekend I was on a short trip to Bergamo and Milan in Italy. The Dome/Cathedral in Milan was more than impressive with its white marble exterior and the hundreds of sculptures, yet overall I I liked Bergamo better. This was mainly due to the fact that the old part of the city on the mountain with its small alleys and old buildings had a very intimate atmosphere.


Nevertheless, here are some of the sketches I did when I could spare some time besides taking hundreds of photos.

With a grain of salt

Inspired by a book I read as a child (couldn't remember the name but I found it out in the meantime. It's called 'The BFG' or with its German Sophiechen und der Riese written by the Brittish author Roald Dahl. Should find the book and read it again. I remember really liking it.

"That gigantic salt really hurts..."

Civil Servant

Sometimes we all have a certain cliché in our heads when we think of some things. Here's one of a civil servant I just had to draw. A little different approach here. Try to go a little "Street Style" without getting to much into it. Originally painted with fineliner, later vectorized in Illustrator. Added the paper texture afterwards.

After a hard 3 hour day at work...

I'M BACK: Orpheus in the Underworld

So after way too long I'm finally back with new pictures. Hopefully I can keep the blog updated more frequently again.

Here's a short impression from the Rheingau Musik Festival, Michael Quast playing "Orpheus in der Unterwelt" all alone (only supported by his piano player). Very funny and entertaining, but a lot of spitting. If you have the chance to see it, go!

High Moon

Showdown on a small Planet. Who can fire the deadly shot? Too. Much. Tension.

Snail Fail

Last drawing for today. I did this actually also during the sketchgroup meeting, but finished it up during my train ride back home. It's some kind of a snail man thingy. He might be a friend of the insane turtle man. I'm afraid to ask.

Stiftundcafé

Three Weeks ago I started a sketchgroup. We meet once a week at a local café, talk and sketch people or what we want. It's a lot of fun to talk about our passion drawing while actually drawing. Here are two pieces I did the last time and today. (I corrected the date after scanning :))
