hello, i'm a kitsch mountain!

Good Day! 
here's something a little different from what i've posted on the blog so far. 
a mountain. 
my new obsession with skyrim, which has been taking away all of my time from other occupations (for example drawing, studying, having a social life...) reminded me about one of the biggest and boldest lines on my to-do list: learn to paint environments. 
TARA RA RAAAAN!

ok, so i don't have a to-do list. 
but i'd still like to learn how to paint environments.
and as they are my biggest flaw, together with using colours (yes),  this will be a long LONG journey.

here, this is a speedpainting. reference used. it kinda looks like a "greetings from austria" postcard, but this time i was aiming for resemblance and colour mixing, not for prettiness :)



ps: skyrim. seriously!!! brace yourself for a lot of skyrim-inspired stuff, coming next! :D
im an old nerd :D

The Tale of the Ugly Sketchbook

 directly from Hamburg, here´s nothing less than an Update!
AND there´s a story behind this Update:

      one morning,  I noticed my sketchbook is goddamn ugly.
                         :end of the story:

of course, this meant I had to try making it look better. here´s what happened in the past few days:

that one above is a sleeping meepdude. the meepdude is a very
uncommon animal, which can be found sleeping or rocking
his head at hardcorepunkconcerts.
i must say it´s my favourite animal.
this one here is a deformed naked guy
...
and then some stuff:



fruf!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...I present you...this.

Eeeeeeeeeeagle


I LIVE!
Yes, believe me or not, thought I haven't posted anything for some weeks I actually still live and I've been drawing a whole lot. Unfortunately, what I've been drawing is mainly exercises for my drawing course, which is slowly swallowing my life. Or something a bit less dramatic.
Anyway, on the left I present you a sketch for a project I have, AND -

 - on the right, a piece of the "Annunciazione" of sweet Leonardo da Vinci I've been drawing because i need to EXERCISE with fabrics. She's got a whole lot of fabric there, as you can see :)

Well, now I need to decide if what I want to do now is
1. Drawing
2.Slaughtering goblins
3.Being slaughtered by goblins

The death of the Outlines



Juhu!
This is more or less my first outline-less Photoshop picture I fully approve.
Yeah, that's right, this is the first time I have success painting without outlines in Photoshop. Me and Photoshop are still not really friends, you know. If we were in the Sims, we'd have 40 relationship points, out of 100.
But I'm satisfied!

Oceans and forests


Hello there, from your notpreparinganyexamblindelf! Instead of preparing those two exams I need to pass in February, I'm spending time drawing mermaids with boobs. I'm starting to have a lot of fun with my little buddy, Mr Illustrator!



Some important new stuff for me now is that I'm also trying to find my way in photography. I'm waaaay at the beginning, but I guess I'll post here a photo I took of which I really like the mood. I find it creepy and quiet, at the same time. 


And now, FAREWELL, yo. I need to draw minicircles on huge sheets of paper.

Miao!

Chirp Chirrrrrp

The return of the Bluebird! Also known as "yes-sometimes-I-am-still-drawing-something-even-if-I'm-caught-in-a-spiral-of-laziness".

Spirals are the main theme of my life. I like them.

Have a nice day while while I'll try going on with the Bluebird story (it's also for a portfolio, you know).

Mrrauuu frrrr
