Michi

... a famous fotographer and friend of mine. I made it as a birthday present on saturday.
Smokin' greets

Frank Zappa

Seems I have a weakness for old men with beards:)
First I tried a few backgrounds, e. g. a poster of uncle Sam, but finally it was best without.
Furry greets

Charles Bronson

"... i guess I look like a rock quarry that someone has dynamited."

Snoop Dog

Bruce Lee/ 李小龍

"Empty your mind. Become formless and shapeless like water. When water is poured into a cup, it becomes the cup. When water is poured into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Be water, my friend."

Wow - what a wise man.

Playing around with colors and guitars

Lately i saw a book of chinese manga artists (esp. a famed guy called Benjamin), amazing what they do with colors. I liked it very much, so i tryed to draw with these strange colorpalettes. Difficult, the style altered every minute i drew - so the result becomes totally different to my first intention. But it was a great experience and took me another step towards.

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:)

Clint Eastwood

I posted a sketch to this about one year ago and found that it was worth to work it out. I made him about a hundred years older. But i dunno, perhaps he actually IS a hundred years older?

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.

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 adequate large foto.

Official Bilderwumme Scuba Night

Some drawers are diving, some divers are drawing.

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.

Hair

streets sketches

Summer

... is over.
I started the mowgli a few month ago on our two-weekly drawing meeting with pencil. Just found it and worked it out.

Mobile beach

Ein Typ im Strandleben. Er telephonierte tatsächlich 15 min. in der selben Haltung. Was für ein Model.
A guy in the Strandleben. In fact he telephoned about 15 min. in the same pose. What a model!

Klong

Mehr aus meinem Urlaubs-Skizzenbuch. An einem Klong in Bankok.
More of my holiday-sketchbook. At a klong in Bangkok.

Urlaubsbilder/Holiday sketches

Noch ein paar Zeichnungen aus meinem Urlaubs-Skizzenbuch (das übrigens echt schwer war - fast 400g. Viel, wenn man mit dem Rucksack unterwegs ist)
Some more drawings from my holiday-sketchbook (which was heavy weight - nearly 400g. It's much when you're travelling as backpacker)

Zurück/Back

... mit einem Scan aus meinem Zeichenblock. Mehr wenn ich das Jetlag überstanden hab.
... with a scan from my scetchbook. More when the jetlag is over.

Retro SciFi

Thema unserer 10. (!) Bilderwumme Drawing Night war retro-scifi. Ich dachte mehr an die Jetsons, aber Lutz hatte so fantastische, inspirierende Star Wars Bücher dabei - also wurde alles anders.
Theme of our 10th (!) Bilderwumme Drawing Night was retro-scifi. Actually i thought in the Jetsons, but Lutz had a few fantastic inspiring Star Wars books - so everything become different.

Afromania

Subject of the last Official Bilderwumme Drawing Night was barbers.
So here's one without afro ... er ... acrophobia.

Rote Treppe/Red stairs

Ich bevorzuge momentan ganz klassische analoge Arbeit, das digitale ruht etwas. Die Treppe entstand nach einem Photo von einer Italienreise. (Hinterhof, irgendwo in Massa Marittima) Acryl auf Leinwand, 80 x 60 cm
Currently i prefer classic analog work, the digital is resting a bit. The picture is painted from a photo i made in an italian vacancy, somewhere in a backyard in Massa Marittima. Acryl on canvas, 31 x 24 inch

Bianca

Acryl auf Leinwand, 30 x 30 cm. Ein Portrait von meiner Frau. Sie hat sich gefreut, besonders weil ich endlich gegen meine goldenen Graphik-Regeln verstieß ("Ich zeichne niemals Fahrräder und Frauen die ich kenne")
Acrylics on canvas, 10 x 10 inch. A portrait of my wife. She was very pleased, in particular because i finally broke my golden graphic-rules (" I never draw bicycles and women i know")

Schon wieder Italien/Italy again

Zwei "neue" Bilder aus dem letzten Italien-Urlaub ... das Bunte gerade erst wiedergefunden und koloriert;) (Torri del Belnaco, Montepescali)
Two "new" Pictures of my last journey to Italy ... i just found and colored the upper one;) (Torri del Belnaco, Montepescali)

Lord of rings

Diese digitale Landschaft entstand eigentlich ohne vorher irgendeinen Fantasystreifen gesehen zu haben. Aber meine Frau sagt, es sähe aus wie im Herrn der Ringe. Ich glaube, sie hat recht.
I painted this digital landscape without any reason, but my wife said it looks like somewhere in lord of rings. Probably she's right.

Es ist kalt! It's so cold outside!

Frohe Weihnachten

... und einen guten Rutsch.

Clowns

Thema der vorletzten Bilderwumme Drawing Night war Clowns. Und vorgestern bekam ich endlich mein neues Wacomtablett und hab mich gleich ausgelassen.
Theme of the last Bilderwumme Drawing Night was clowns. And yesterday finally my new wacom arrived, i just tested it.

For the mothers in law
