Urbi et orbi

My beloved bike :)

Holiday sketchbook

James Hetfield/Metallica

Just needed a look in the mirror to draw his facial expression on this rainy
and cold saturday afternoon :(

Same Cash, colored version

From the sketch below, digital colored.

another Johnny Cash sketch in my moleskine

Done in a really unsteady train :)
I used the same reverence pic as below.

Johnny Cash speedpainting

Tried to need exact an hour. And stop. Whew, hard to ignore all the things that could be done :)

Amy Whinehouse sketch

Actually just a warmup, but it became good ... Please consider the new tatoo :)

John Leguizamo

Thilo Sarrazin

Kaum gezeichnet schon tritt er ab.

Svenni

Caricature of a friend of mine. I tried some new technics and brushes and i'm quite happy with it.

Côte Azur

...and the intention? I had a long and nice holiday in France. Perhaps i could imagin my friends and me like this in future:)

pencil sketch/digital coloring

Alex

A birthday present for my friend Alex (i hope, he still is :)

Holiday sketchbook

Les Camail too

In Antibes,  taking a break

From my Terrace in Les Camails

... doors don't move ;)

Sophia Loren - colored version

It was very difficult this time, 'cause i tried to enhance her beauty and not to make her ugly :)

Sophia Loren sketch

... will be finished soon.

Gérard Depardieu

... for the weekly Caricaturama Showdown 3000.

Back from france ...

... with a few new sketches. Here's the first one, it's a very little village, Les Camails in the Provence near the Cote Azur, we had a small house right of the picture.

Megan Fox

For the weekly Caricaturama Showdown 3000

Boom Boom - John Lee Hooker

I found this old sketch a few days ago and finished it digital.

Harry Shearer from Spinal Tap

It's nice but different drawing a face nobody really knows (only with beard and metal-outfit:)

Tilda Swinton

... such a difficult face, hard to draw.

Keith Richards

What a face. Like the Grand Canyon. Always thinking if it's really a caricature i've done:)
I tryed to use more of the analogue sketch and to reduce the digital work for a more natural look.

Udo Lindenberg

Famous german rockstar and living legend. Staying in the also famous Hotel Atlantic for many years now.
I posted this pic about two years ago, but i reworked it very much for an exhibition i'll make soon. New proportions, new colors, new details and many more corrections. Think it's much better now:)

Adrien Brody

Medium quick Sketch - anlogue and digital.

Wolfgang Joop

Famous german fashion designer. Looks very young, but i think he has many upgrades in his face:) I made a second version where i painted the scars from all the surgerys -
but it looks too morbid.

Billy Drago

Evil, always bad tempered and delicious arrogant. Would enjoy him in a leading part of a crime series.

B. B. King

First post for a longer time now. I tryed a few new brushes and messed around a bit. I'm not really satisfied with their coaction but i like the contrasts and the values very much in this one.

Adriano Celentano

Il Molleggiato :) I still remember him chopping wood in "Innamorato Pazzo" with Ooooooornela Muti.

Fernandel

Il grande Don Camillo. I liked him very much as i was a child - so it was a very nice weekend job (And he has an extremely thankful face for a caricaturist).

Woody Allen

I wanted to draw a cool background, for example New York, but i havn't any time left right now. So here's just a preview. The finalized version must wait.

Daniel Craig

A sunday (very) early morning sketch. Woke up at 5:30 a.m.! The hard winter confuses me completely. Today i finished it.
Btw. Think Craig is the best Bond since Sean Connery.

Hairy Metal

Theme of the last Bilderwumme Drawing Night was Heavy Metal. In the 80s it means long hair, tight Jeans, crazy colors. This here was my dream:)

Michi

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

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 and a bit choleric but lovely anyhow and always good for a show. And - bien sûr - a great fashion designer. 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.
