Jam Comics with Peter Böhme, Darth Vader secretly likes Yoda
I finished the last day drinking whine and eating cheese with Peter Böhme. The perfect setting to draw jam comics:
This one is my favorite:
ILLU12 – ILLUSTRATOREN-FESTIVAL
The illustration-festival presented by the design quarter Ehrenfeld Cologne was a very fruitful thing in many aspects. I saw some very nice Illustrations, talks and presentations. Got to know new people even from my neighborhood, Illustrators and Art Directors. And of cause I drew a lot into my sketchbook when I met with Peter, Paul and Jussip.
I try Cartooning with Ivan Brunetti
Cartooning by Ivan Brunetti is script of his cartooning-course at Yale University. I bought it after reading about it somewhere and think it is worth the 10 Euros. It is structured like a course in weeks and homework to do in between.
This exercise here is from the first week I think. You force yourself to draw one thing over and over again, but every time getting faster, still covering the whole object. From the elaborated 3′ drawing to the extremeley fast 5″ all different levels of detail and roughness emerge. I think, that most of the times I seem to get the object in short time very well, but with an extra ooompf to it. This impact get’s lost in detail in the longer versions, while the shorter versions start to get harder to read … but would still be OK for background detail of a bigger scene.
Try it yourselves, it’s fun! Which do you like best?
Shape Game Page
Do you know the shape-game? Everyone starts by drawing only the outline of a shape into his own sketchbook. Then the sketchbooks are passed on to the next sketcher. Now everyone has a shape to draw in and is to fill it with anything that comes to mind. The only rule is to stay inside the given outline.
Can you guess, how many people participated in my sketchbook, and maybe sort out, which drawing belongs to whom?
(The last shape, the lion and a soccer fan, is actually two shapes, but I didn’t want to separate them.)
Family in concert
I’ve been at my grandparents’ on the easter-days. My aunt, my mother and his friend had a little jam-session with the cello, the piano and singing.
My friend solved puzzles, while my grandparents enjoyed the music.
