Japan

When I went to Japan last year, I took my sketchbook to capture my impressions. I actually managed to do at least one drawing a day. It is really nice to sketch while travelling, because you look closer at your surroundings and you  take your time instead of quickly passing by.
I only took polychromo-pencils and really grew to like them in the course of the month.
A sample selection:

Oh hi

Rotoscope

Testing a look for a possible film project. Although it is completly digital, I tried to give it a hand colored/ ink look:

Dragons!

Tested water-soluble pencils in combination with  a brushes, that you can fill with water.

Fair Trade Pixilation

Our class participated in a contest to promote fair trade with a film (REC A FAIR). The teams consisted mostly of two people and some really nice and different films were made. We (Nicole Aebersold and I) decided to go with a pixilation ( animation of humans) and a graphical look. This technique is usually fast and the results are kind of surreal.
 Unfortunately, none of us won, but it was still  a good experience. Also, it was nice to test animating with humans. Here is the result:

Here are some making-of photos from the set:

Mostly, we animated and acted at the same time, but we also had help from several classmates.

Short animation

Slightly kitschy animation exerice : ) The point was to animate a special effect like falling snow, rain or flower petals.

Doodles

Some doodles.

Experiment

I tested different styles for an animation/ moving background experiment. Accidentally this happened and somehow I liked it.

History

This was a school assignment: The task was to depict a historical event and I chose the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Black cat

This was a birthday card for a friend of mine.

Summer workshop

In the summer of last year me and some friends from university went on an self-organized drawing/ painting workshop to rural parts of Brandenburg. Three days of swimming in lakes, having a campfire, making music and of course drawing a lot!
All in all it was a very productive trip, but felt more like holidays : )
 Here are some impressions of the place:

Here we had 5 minutes for each drawing:

And then just different styles and techniques:

Tiger Flipbook

A small flipbook, that I photographed und put together as a film. First I animated with pencil, afterwards I did the lineart with a brush and black ink.

Random inspiration

I did these three for fun. Black ink on paper, the third was colored digitally.

Maggie

This was a christmas-present for my father: A notebook filled with illustrations of our dog Maggie, who is crazy for tennis balls. I wanted to try out different techniques and styles.
