Drawing Human Figure with Ink

Lately I am looking in ways to abstract reality, to be able to tell a story in a different way. I love portraits and the human body, but I don't want to depend on how attractive is the person in order for my drawing to be appreciate by people.

In these portraits I used a twig and ink to draw the figure. The challenge was to draw with less lines and still get a recognisable image. It is difficult to find the balance. I added some washes of diluted ink and some marks with red pencil.

Here are some of the results. You can see the other drawings in this flickr album

Dan Savage in Shakespeare & Sons, Berlin


Dan Savage
Dan Savage was yesterday at the English Bookstore Shakespeare & Sons, He talked about his new book "American Savage". I got opportunity to draw him while he was been interviewed.

Dan Savage war gestern in der Buchladen Shakespeare & Sons. He erzählte über sein neues Buch. Ich habe ihn gezeichnet, als er ein paar Fragen antworte.

The room was very crowded. People were standing quiet to hear him talk.

Das Zimmer war sehr voll. Die Leute standen still in dem Vorraum um etwas zu hören.

Sketcher pro app

I was so happy to find the Sketcher app.  I knew this apps when it was just a part of the Harmony project in internet. (you can still try it there if you don't have a tablet)  I liked immediately when I first try it on the internet and though it would be cool to use it on the streets.

I got the Sketcher pro (you have to paid but it is so little and the guy had offered his tools for so long for free in internet, that I think it is worth it) there is a Sketcher lite free version also.

Ich war sehr glücklich, als ich die Sketcher app gefunden habe. Ich kannte dieses Programm als es nur ein Projekt (Harmony project)  in Internet war. (Man kann immer noch dort probieren, auch ohne Tablet) Ich mag es sofort, als ich es in mein Pc probiert habe und dachte, dass es wäre Cool, damit in den Strassen zu zeichnen.

Ich habe Sketcher pro (man muss eine Kleinigkeit zahlen, aber der Kerl bietet es so lange umsonst im Internet, dass es mir Wert ist.) Es gibt auch eine gratis Version: Sketcher lite free version

The main advantage of this app is that allows to do sketches so quickly, because when you draw close to a previous line, some effects start to appear between them. That makes the drawing difficult to control if you draw small things. However It copes very well with my minimalist way of drawing.
These sketches were done in less than 10 minutes.

Der Hauptvorteil dieses App ist das es ermöglich dich sehr schnell zu zeichnen, weil es ein Effect entsteht, wenn man nah an eine vorherige gezeichnete Linie drangeht. Es ist deshalb schwer zu kontrollieren, wenn man nur kleine Sachen zeichnet. Aber es passt zu meine minimalistische Art zu zeichnen. Diese Skizzen wurden in weniger als 10 min gemacht.

Cafe Gipfeltreffen


Café Gipfeltreffen, Berlin
Today there was not cake in Gipfeltreffen. I wanted so badly one. The cakes there are usually very tasty. Next time. I just draw the place.

I am using Sketchbook pro in my Samsung note 8.  I like the size. It is good enough to draw and small enough to hold it comfortable in my hand.

Heute gab es kein Kuchen im Cafe Gipfeltreffen. Ich hatte so eine Lust. Die Kuchen dort sind sehr gut. Nächste Mal. Diesmal habe ich nur das Cafe gezeichnet.

Ich benutze Sketchbook pro in meinem Samsung Note 8. Ich mag die Gosse  Es ist groß genu , um zu zeichnen, aber klein genug, dass ich es bequem halten kann.
