Pen Drawing in German (Week 10) – Pixeliges Pixel
Before trying the pixel art projects of this week, I would have never imagined they could be so much fun. The first exercises looked a lot like the first week of the project, in early July. The idea was to get back to the basics, practice a lot of shade variations. That would be very […]
Pen Drawing in German (Week 9) – Eine Ruine wird zum Fantasy-Palast

The more I work on this project, the more I realize that the real difficulty here lies in coming up with original figures to draw on your own. I […]
