friday sketch

...sketching at the breakfast table while the kids are getting ready. On this one I tried digital ink with painter. never really used painter much, but I like the brushes.

A Common Mistake...

I am not how many times this has happened to me. I work a lot between paper and Cintiq (which I mounted into the round hole of my old animation desk) and it gets very confusing a times....like when you think of the undo button, while you are drawing on paper...

Karl

Turning somebody into a cartoon character can sometimes be easy. I had not seen Karl for more than 10 years and drew him from memory. My second try was the final one. Usually I have a much harder time. Today I am trying my luck with another cartoon stylization for two friends who are starting a pizza service in New Zealand. So far I tried several times with no satisfying result. Getting closer though.

I have been keeping busy building my German illustration website (I still have to add the button for the english version). Check it out here if you have some extra time: www.tobiasillustration.de

Pirate Party & the European Elections

Who ever said that Germans have no sense of humor. I am very tempted to vote for the Pirates this year, or maybe the "Violette's, Party for spiritual politics". Voting for Europe has never been so much fun. I have been missing out for many years.
