SUNDAY TRASH.

Folks!

Here's a picture you can file under "things I do, when your kid doesn't let you sleep on sunday morning". Done with a fresh Pentel Sign Pen in my sketchbook.

Cheers, Robert


 

FESTIVAL FUN.

Hey Dudes!

Two weeks ago I've been on a concert with my old buddies from THE.SPINES. It was a little strange to see them live without me. I hired myself for selling the merch this evening where I did this tiny picture in just some minutes.

Cheers, Robert

THIS COULD BE A CHILDREN'S BOOK #15.

Hey folks!

Hope you're doing fine! I've had a little chaotic week. Sometimes it's tricky as hell to keep all the personal-job-drawing-whatever-things of life well arranged. But I won't complain, since I have finished the next seven pictures. While I'm very comfortable with coloring the monsters and the surroundings by now, the real hard thing this time was the lighting. You as frequent reader of this blog may have noticed that I already used light in my pictures. Here I had to create different sources of light like fire or electrical light with different tonal values as well as the diffusion of the light. Just see the picture with the fireplace or the one with the truck. Eventually the truck picture will corrected a little. I'm not satisfied with how the light diffuses and the fake aperture reflects the light. But let's get the rest finished and then work on details like this. Most fun in this case was the cityscape again. I guess, it's one of my favorite pictures of the book, even with it's clean look!

Cheers, Robert

THIS COULD BE A CHILDREN'S BOOK #14.

Boys and Girls!

Today I can give you the first seven colored pictures of my children's book. I activated my personal turbo-boost to quicken the process a little. In fact, I digged out my old Intous 3 Tablet and sent my Bamboo on vacation. The Intous has a much better performance which allows me to work faster. After I developed and determined the color scheme in the beginning of the last week, I colored the pictures in the free corners of my life. I'm not really sure if I'll leave all the colors how they're now but I guess the result is near to the 80%-perfection I want to reach.
For me, it's unusual to see this tiny monster-world in colors for I have seen it in black and white so many months. But I really like how the thing is turning out. I'm totally thrilled to see the finished book and with a little luck I'm hopefully going to find a suitable publisher. Let's do some more!

Cheers, Robert

THIS COULD BE A CHILDREN'S BOOK #13.

Dear People!

I'm glad to say, that I finished all the drawings for the book. All drawings except for the cover. And there was some tough stuff again. See the party at the end or flight or all those books... Some pictures were really hard because the lack of a previsualization. Most of the pictures are already scanned so that I can start with the coloration in the next week. I'm pretty happy how the result turned out until now. The colors will hopefully push the whole thing even a little further. My good old buddy, the timetable, says that I have two weeks for the colors and the layout before I'm going to send the data to the print shop. With a little luck I have an 80%-perfect dummy at the beginning of the next month! But first, I will celebrate this great milestone with some beer with my friends.

Cheers, Robert
