Silhouette Window

Here's my last window doodle (for now). I will now proceed to look at color-how I'm going to do that-I still have no clue, but I'll figure something out ;)
If you added a very delicately pieced, colorful background to this, it could be awesome-don't you think?
Anyways, have a good night!

Finished Window Doodle

Yeeeah, I'm just having fun here :D To maybe clear things up a alittle bit-with each of the last few, doodled ideas I'm looking at a specific aspect-here for example the 'tribal'/'ethnic' patterns or the honeycomb spacing from a few days ago or composition. Exploring these individually is helping me gradually put together a bigger more sophisticated design incoperating many of these aspects. This design is slowly growing at the moment-not quite ready to be shown yet though-so here are more doodles ;)

Honeycomb windows

Love the idea of using the honeycomb pattern to divide the window. Now only the insides of the combs have to be developed ;)

Window Design 2.0

Experimenting with more graphical elements. Still getting to know the weird proportions and it's definetely helping.

Songbook

One of my favorite things in the world is illustrating the first page of cool notebooks according to their future purpose. These personalized notebooks make awesome and useful presents.
Here I actually did one for me :) The right is empty so it can be packed with song titles, any proposals for the first one? ;)
Good night!

Window doodles

Time consuming doodles to get used to this weird format. I'm doing a lot of layout, basic work at the moment-but I really have a hard time with the overall shape :O
Not done yet, but it's coming along :)

Bracelet Design


So I got this really boring, othopedic bracelet thing yesterday and I decided I had to spice it up a little ;) It was difficult finding a design that fit and that was the kind of style I wanted, but I'm quite satisfied ;)

Playing around with gothic ornaments

Further experiments. It's horrible at the moment, I can only do these studies because I don't have the time to develop a basic concept which I could use as a base. These are always complicated to make, and not very spectacular when you post them on here, so I usually refrain from doing so. Maybe tomorrow I'll have more luck...

Sketching

I Set myself Kind of a challenge when I did this. As you noticed I've been studying the work of Wilhelm M Busch These Last few days and he manages  to make figures and faces into characters. That was my goal, with These next few drawings. I had Photos from the newspaper and tried to illustrate the people, conciously changing things to underline character or stuff that you could count as style. Maybe you'll notice ;-) good night! Xoxo Alex

Ornaments

As a friend of mine puts it-drawing is therapy. Same thing here :) Keeps me grounded, keeps me calm and enables me to concentrate on the important things...
Further studies today, tomorrow probably as well, but I have something a little special planned for Friday ;)
Soo, see y'all tomorrow, I'm going to sleep now! :)
