Pen Drawing in German (Week 13) – Bleibende Erinnerung
After my Elvis pixelated portrait of Week 10 and Week 11 (yes, I like to think of him as Elvis, even if it’s someone else!), I wanted to try my hand at a second one. This time the subject of the drawing would be the German poet Matthias Claudius. The idea was to get started […]
Pen Drawing in German (Week 12) – Kritzeliges

Pen Drawing in German (Week 9) – Eine Ruine wird zum Fantasy-Palast

It was a good opportunity to work on balance, proportions, and geometric forms. I have to say, those can be much more convenient subjects to […]

Starting on the second day of the week, I was called to use different surfaces to recreate special textures. It brought me back to my childhood when I would put […]
