Large Birds pattern design wip

Working on my Large Bird challenge entry on Spoonflower. I choose to make watercolor Elements (even its quite a process to clean from background on computer). Birds are cranes, herons and more. I have fun with the drawing and painting ❤️ #spoonflowerchallenge #largebird #patterndesign #birddesign #herondrawing #cranedrawing #flamingodrawing #storkdrawing #birdpattern #challengespoonflower #watercolors #graphiteandwatercolors #cansonpaper #winsornewtonwatercolors #lukaswatercolors #davincibrushes

Moths on Gold

I participate in the Spoonflower challenge "Moths".
I started with inkdrawings of 7 moths. I had a fun time drawing these insects, even I am a bit afraid of moths. Think I added a little cuteness to the animal :)
Then I did some small drawings to fill into the final pattern. I scanned everything and designed the patterndesign on my computer. And added the background of gold.

The patterndesign is now avaliable on my Redbubble Doggyshop in "The Zoo" collection. It is placed on a lot of stuff, from clothes to mugs, wall-deco, scarfs, pillows and more.

The challenge on Spoonflower is open to public voting on thursday. Here is a link: https://www.spoonflower.com/design-challenge/moths - you can Like and Vote on all the designs you want to.
Click the heart icon to like, and click the Select button (left side of patterns) to vote for the pattern :) I guess there will be hundreds of designs to enjoy.

100HeadsChallenge - 1

I decided to try to follow this #100headschallenge Link - the goal is to draw 10 heads a day for 10 days in a row - a total of 100 heads. Well, I am already a little behind as I started yesterday, but I will try to keep up, to reach the 100 on day 10 !

I do this sketch challenge as I really want to see if there is a development in the sketches. I also want to practise drawing heads, without the pressure of doing a "finished, realistic portrait".

I do very little sketching at all, but I actually want to. Sketching can be done in order to make a larger and more finished drawing/painting. But a sketch can be a small, and very lively drawing, done and excisting only for its own value - and whenever you draw anything you practise skills ;)

I used pencil and ink-pen for the above sketches. They are a mix of lightly sketching realism in pencil, doing contour-drawing in inkpen(follow the contour with your eyes, and draw at the same time), and a more sketchy style in inkpen. All done a bit quickly.
From this challenge I also hope to find my favorite practise of sketching.

The pictures for this challenge is listed as a Pinterest Board below the video on Youtube.

Cats in space

I am participating in the Spoonflower challenge Moon Landing with Princess Awesome.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the landing on the moon! 

My entry is "Cats in Space". Cats ? Well, as the winning fabric is going to be promoted for a girls dress, I found it very natural to let cats take the flight :)
