  for Adam @case_when I hope you don't regret posting your photo now. Unfortunately, the background turned out really bad—I'm sorry. I've learned a few things about what I should and shouldn't do with water-soluble pencils. #drawme #watersolublepencils #pencil #drawing

  Another round of urban sketching during a train ride. A fellow passenger asked what I was doing that was so interesting. I explained it briefly and then decided to stop for the time being. 😬 #UrbanSketching #sketchbook #sketch #ink #watercolor

  Day 10: MYSTICAL I didn't have much time yesterday. So in the evening, I just had enough time to draw a little mandala. It never ceases to amaze me how relaxing it is to draw lines and simple patterns. It's "mystical". #Inktober2026 #inktober #ink #mandala #relaxing

  Self-Portraits No. 5 and 6 — white on black paper (Gelly Roll 08 A6/ Graphitint A5) Okay, these are probably my worst pieces of work so far. 🫣 That’s why I’m going to post them both at once—and then they’ll be gone. 😬 I didn’t think it would be so hard to draw with white on black. I thought it might be kind of interesting. Unfortunately, you can see every single stroke—even the ones that are way off. (Especially these ones!) Never again! #selfportrait #GellyRoll08 #DerwentInktense

  Self-Portrait No. 7, drawn with water-soluble graphite pencils by Faber-Castell. That was fun again, even though I still can't quite get the shape of the head right. #selfportrait #drawing #watersolublepencils

  I have a few more urban sketches from our #hike in #Piedmont This one is from #Alagna - the Catholic parish church of San Giovanni Battista. #UrbanSketching #Sketch #Sketchbook #watercolor #pleinair

  That's now the last butterfly from my #hike in #Piedmont I was amazed at how many different kinds of butterflies I saw and was able to photograph. This beauty, however, sat down on my cell phone after the first photo, which made it difficult to take a few other pictures. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to the shape of the wings. But, whatever. I still think the butterfly is beautiful. #sketch #sketchbook #watercolor #butterfly

  Two more #Banksy drawings from the exhibition in #Dresden The drawing "english maid" is by far my favorite. #sketch #sketchbook #ink #watercolor

  I think #Banksy is absolutely cool. That's why I went to the Banksy exhibition in #Dresden I really enjoyed copying some of his artworks there with ink and watercolor. And since a Banksy poster reading "Copyright is for losers!" was hanging there I have no qualms about showing my drawings here. 😉 Furthermore, my drawings are clearly recognizable as copies. I used my Sennelier 9x14 cm sketchbook, really small for me. #sketchbook #watercolor #ink

  We saw many different butterflies during our hikes in #Piedmont I tried to photograph them and then draw them later. (I like my #hikingboots very much. Only when they got old do they loose the sole. 😵‍💫 That's usually at the most inappropriate moments, really.) #hiking #sketch #Sketchbook #watercolor #drawing

  Unfortunately, I had to take the Flixbus home again yesterday evening. 😢 And there were actually a lot more travelers at the Milan Lampugnano bus station, but I still find it hard to draw people. I actually filled my 14x14 cm #Hahnemühle ZigZag book with urban sketches during our trip. It was so much fun, and the ZigZag book was perfect - the format and the paper. 👍 Next year, I'll continue #hiking the GTA. #Milano #UrbanSketching #Sketch #Sketchbook #watercolor #pleinair

  Yesterday, I tried drwaing while standing for the first time. The lines became very shaky and I almost got a cramp in my hand from holding the #sketchbook (A5) Probably smaller sketchbooks are easier to hold? The second drawing is from last autumn. #UrbanSketching #sketch #watercolor #usk #pleinair

  Day 6 while #hiking the Grande Traversata delle Alpi in #Piedmont /Italy. I painted this at the Alpe Laghetto a really secluded location. 2039 m.a.s.l. (The most beautiful mountain huts are the secludes ones without an access road and Wifi.) While I was painting a little black dog paid my a visit. #urbansketching #sketchbook #pleinair #watercolor
