A RAVEN'S PARCEL FILTERED

I really am a true beginner at digital drawing! Ever heard of Filters? Textures? Esther, I guess you really do not get enough sleep to forget these things and to need your husband to remind you of such possibilities!

It does not make much difference at a small size, but at a bit larger size (or when printed) the version with some simple photoshop filters applied looks much better.

A RAVEN'S PARCEL

A quick drawing I did as birth greeting card for a good friend and (obviously) a fan of ravens.

While I am slowly adapting to the way of drawing with my tablet, I think I would have liked the look of a traditional drawing better - now that I look at the printed card. I guess I should have done this with black liners instead of digitally.

THE BOAR-RIDING LITTLE WITCH

A doodle of my little ones in their 'true form'? Who knows. At least they make us often laugh (and shake our heads) and think of a wild boar and a little witch. So I drew this kind of portrait and hang it up on their door.

ANOTHER BABY BREAK

"Wenn du Gott zum Lachen bringen willst, erzähl' ihm von deinen Plänen." (Quote from the film Amores Perres)

All my plans changed when I got pregnat again last year. (Well, THAT was a plan, too, but pretty incompatible to my plans for arting and writing...)
One painting for the wedding of two very good friends and a christmas card were practically the only two creative things I managed to do during my pregnancy. And since little Ragnar was born in May I could not even think about painting - let alone writing - so far. Hormones have taken over. But as stressful as it often is, I enjoy every minute with my family. Arting and writing will have to wait a bit, again.
