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.

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.

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.

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

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")

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.

For the mothers in law

Appropriate for every grandma ("Draw something nice, child") Unfortunately mine has no internet ...

Bruce Willis

Es gab eine Version mit Blut im Gesicht (Bruce ist immer voll Blut), ich hab mich dann aber doch für eine entschärfte Variante entschieden.
There was a version with blood in his face (Bruce is always full of blood), but i decided to take the more innocent layout.

Ich jetzt auch auf der Bilderwumme. Hammerinspiration Tag für Tag von den Großmeistern des Graphikuniversums, quasi den Monsters of blog. Und jeden zweiten Montag im Monat gibt's da auch niemals gesehene, atemberaubende Graphiken von mir.

Mallorca

36-Stundentrip nach Mallorca, tolle Hochzeit gefeiert (nicht meine) und Zeit gefunden für eine schnelle Zeichnung: Paseo Maritimo, Consolat del mar.

36-hours-trip to Mallorca, had a great wedding feast (not mine), anyhow found time to make one quick sketch: Paseo Maritimo, Consolat del mar.

Mit Pinsel, Tinte und viel Sand in den Augen
With brush, ink and much sand in the eyes

Vetulonia

Wir waren eine Woche in Vetulonia (Südtoskana). Der Ort ist tatsächlich über 2500 Jahre alt und ist so schwer mit dem Auto zu erreichen, das sich dort kaum Touristen hinverirren. Trotzdem hat man immer eine Fangemeinde aus Kindern beim Zeichnen. Die Zeichnungen entstanden mit einem Pentel Brushpen und etwas Edding für die schwarzen Flächen.

We visited Vetulonia (south-tuscany) for one week. The village is in fact older than 2500 years! It's so difficult to reach even by car that you don't find any tourists there - anyhow you always have a fan-community of kids while drawing. I used a Pentel brushpen and an Edding for the black areas.

zurück und fleissig gewesen / back and been assiduous

Wunderschöner Urlaub in der Toskana, seeehr heiss und vieeel Kultur (und gutes Essen). Haufenweise Zeichnungen gemacht, hier die Ersten (Massa Marittima, San Gimignano and Portoferraio/Elba).
Awesome holiday in the Tuscany, very hot and much culture (and good food). Made lots of drawings, here are the first (Massa Marittima, San Gimignano and Portoferraio/Elba).

Ferien! Vacancy!

Zwei Wochen der Toscana. Ich werde haufenweise altes Zeug zeichnen: Kirchen, Mauern, Plätze, Landschaften und Küsten. Wird bestimmt furchtbar kitschig ...
Two weeks tuscany. Hope to draw lots of old stuff: churches, walls, places, landscapes and coastlines. Sure it will become very kitschy ...

Da hab ich mir was vorgenommen ...

Ein paar Skizzen für ein neues Vorhaben. Mal sehen ...
Some sketches for a new intention. Let's see ...

Bääh

Tänzer & Künstler · Dancers & artists

Ein paar Skizzen für mein Projekt "angewandte Fröhlichkeit".

A few sketches for my project "applied happiness".

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...

Zoo Hannover

... überall Kinder und die Tiere halten nicht für 10 sek. still! Da muss man schnell sein - oder mann geht zu den Elefanten, die sind langsam genug:)
... childs everywhere and no animal keeps still for only 10 sec. at least! You must be fast - or you take the elefants, they are slowly enough:)

Kieswerk · gravel plant

Skizziert mit Fineliner an einem der Kiesteiche in Langenhagen, später in Ps koloriert · Sketched with a fineliner at one of the lakes in Langenhagen, colorized later in Ps.

Holiday sketches

... from Venecia and Vrsar. Not really new (but not really old), i just forgot to post them.

The hat

A flashy hat, a smile and long hair - all you need for a 60th illustration.

... was hat die Zeit aus uns gemacht...?

It's a caricature of the famous german rockstar and living legend Udo Lindenberg and above it's a line of his brandnew song (It means: "What did the time with us ...")
In the background you can see the also famous hotel Atlantic in Hamburg where he is living now for about 30 years.

(bro' Uwe helped a lot by the amendment of the draft - thanks therefor)

Bébel

I think the Frenchmen call their darling like this.

Digital paintings

Done without special reason (but training). Did i mention that i can't await my new and BIGGER wacom?

American football

I assume that i will never really understand this sport (and i hate the misuse of the word football), but the action is garanteed and the guys are looking sooo cool. Worth to draw them. So here are a few studies.

Steamers and engineers pt.2

Two more sketches of my confidential railway-projekt. Update: I added a colored version.

Steamers and engineers pt.1

I thought about color, but the pictures always lost depth when i started. Probably some pictures want to stay black and white ...
(and maybe i start a second try later)

Cherry blossom

Ok, it's a big knive for cutting some cherry blossoms and she doesn't look overly pleased. At first i wanted to splatter blood all around, but my wife tempered my murderous frenzy and inspired me in drawing something peaceful instead.

Phettberg

Please let me introduce Mr. Hermes Phettberg. He's an austrian talk show host and assistant vicar of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna. It's not really a caricature - he looks like this (I swear)!
