Door

Soooo, I'm sorry for my absence lately. I've been traveling and it's hard to keep up the schedule then. It's going to be busy these next few weeks, so have patience with me :)

It was drawn on a train so it's a bit wobbly but can't you imagine a whole castle in this kind of style? It would be amazing! :O

Doodles

Feeling a tad uninspired after a day of rawing (Stuff I can't show you, sorry!)

xoxo Alex

Progress on the ornaments

Not done yet but rather unsure how to proceed :)

xoxo Alex

Lily colors

Proceeding in a new way-first the colors then the pen :D I wonder if it'll be better!

Color Trial 2

Here's a similar color sheme as before only in watercolors. I have to remember with this, that my final version is going to be quite big, so I have to think ecologically :D I don't mind that they aren't as bright as yesterday but I still have to work on getting the right tones! :)

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 ;)

Two unfinished window designs

Sorry for the silence yesterday, I was working on some personal stuff and then wasn't able to do something for the blog as well :/ Here's two designs today though :) Yes there not done, but you get the point ;)

xoxo Alex

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.

 

xoxo Alex
PS: yes, I know it's a day late :D I must have been too tired yesterday to press send ;)

Finished doodles

Still time consuming, still fun, still soothing :)

Good night!
Xoxo Alex

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...

xoxo Alex

Gothic experiments

Exciting new project and the best meditative way to process current events :) Lots to think about!

Stay tuned! :) oh sorry by the way for the missing posts, I had an internet free week, but I did draw so you'll see some of that soon :)

Sailor Dude

On one hand, I really like this drawing. It has the kind of depth and detail that others have lacked I think. On the other hand, I could kill myself for putting down a gew lines which simply ruin the whole thing a little bit...

Anyways, I think I need to let it rest a little right now...maybe I'll come back to it in photoshop or something :D
xoxo Alex

Sailor Dude

Ha! I bet you thought I wouldn't get back to this lovely fellow! :D well, I'm proud to prove you wrong ;) and he is not done yet either!

The anker is still kind of rough and I need to add something below in order for the whole set up to work, but then...:D

Flower girl

So I'm so sorry for not beeing focussed at all lately. I'm kind of in between things, artistically I feel (I don't know if that makes sense :O) I know what kind of style I'm trying to achieve but I feel like I haven't found the way there yet-so more experimenting. I will be committing to this blog once again though, let's make this an awesome summer! <3

So anyway, the brais is messed up, so I kind of cut it off, but I do want to color this :)

xoxo Alex

Random Girl Sketches

I'm so sorry I missed the post yesterday, I was so tired...
So anyway, here's a random doodle :) Again, multiple projects at the moment, but I want to keep going with this sketch and kind of explore it a little more :)

xoxo Alex

Graphic Experiments

Another round of late night sketching, it's not working the way I want it to though...

So anyway, good night!
xoxo Alex
