I bought some markers a while back and had to dive into fashion sketches a little for a project. what can I say this was fun!

Photo of a page of my sketchbook on my desk. There are some markers visible in the right upper corner. The sketchbook page shows tiny sketches of abstract costumes in mostly red and black. It's very rough.

I catched up on #3x3thumbsup - I'm still on vacation and enjoying daily trips in nature. Can't imagine myself back at my desk on monday...

Photo of the next sheet from my yearly #3x3thumbsup challenge showing thumbnails 10 to 13. I drew two interior shots (10, 11) with orange accents and the solar eclipse I witnessed in a valley so no sun there but a beautiful light and a green meadow from a hiking trip (13). All are painted with watercolours with a fragile lineart underneath.

I've created and decorated a tiny little drawing desk for personal drawings only. It kind of bugs me that I'm not finding time (and space in my mind) to draw just for myself. I hope this cozy corner inspires me!

I did a tiny tribute artwork for the 20 year anniversary of "die drei !!!". "kims tagebuch" which is a spin off to the book series was the first book I ever illustrated and it means a lot to me!

"Die drei !!!" is a German ongoing detective book series. The digital drawing shows the three girls forming a heart with their fingers. There's marie a tall blonde girl on the left, kim a girl with dark shorter hair in the middle and franzi a red haired girl on the right.
