Das Schwarze Auge: Waldinseln
This illustration for Ulisses Spiele's The Dark Eye has just been published in the Aventurisches Jahrbuch.
Doodle-di, doodle-da
I just learned the term "zen tangle", which sounds like a scientific expression for "scribbling is fun", but anyway, I met this particular form of shapes as "linear expressionism" a few years ago and already made some felt pen drawings then (that I can't find anymore), and I find it indeed quite relaxing to do, regardless of term. Ink pens on photo paper sheets, 10×15cm.
Gorgeous! I love the vibrant greens and blues of beach scenes. Looking at this, I almost feel like I'm there. It reminds me of a Florida vacation I took a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteI like pictures that have people in them, but don't make the people the main focus. Usually I do it for humor, but it's also nice just to be a fly on the wall (or on the beach in this case) and watch the people go about their day. I actually didn't notice the person in the tree until the second time I looked.
I'm happy you like it. It was really nice to do the difference between the shallow and deep water and the glaring sunshine - not something I usually do. It's funny how things that are boring in photos can make such nice paintings. I love how very clear water makes things seem to float in midair.
DeleteThe coconut picker was requested by the client, actually :)
