Goodbye Germany

Last of the Germany sketches! I'm back :)

Well, technically these are from Brussels, Belgium. We drove over for a day, I love how close everything is in Europe.

And a quick page from Brussels. Ballpoint pen. I taped a flower petal in the corner (it was red).

We also drove to a place near Munich. Crazy long car ride, but such fluffy clouds :)

My attempt at drawing clouds. Blue color pencil. Next time I think I'll try toned paper with black and white pencils...

One really interesting thing I noticed was all the MU stuff. Seriously, there was more stuff here than in California!

I'm glad I saw it before I left ^_^

And heading home. Frankfurt airpot-

-And Chicago airpot (connecting flight)

The start of the airport sketches (ballpoint pen). Along with a color pencil cup I did on the car ride.

Aaaaaaaaand in the airplane.

I kind of wish I did more paintings while I was there, but I'm happy with the airport sketches (mostly) we got stuck there for a day so I had plenty of time. Germany was great, but now I'm back. And ready to make some art... I'm working on an animation now. Mostly to get the hang of different techniques, but hopefully with a comprehensible story.

Houses houses houses

Since I'm staying with my cousin, it's mostly a residential area. An endless sea of houses... Houses are pretty interesting though.

I like the graffiti though. Its amusing.

Here is some stuff from the last few days

Gouache. This was before I finished the umbrellas, but I kind of like how they look. Kind of transparent or something. Or flooded with bounce light.

Finished version. I tried to put some of the bounce light back in, probably needed to be less yellow.

Arrived in Germany

View form my cousin's kitchen.

Out the window. Gouache.

And on the table. Ballpoint pen.

Graduation

I went to my cousin's graduation.

And later that night at the dance.

Needless to say I spent a significant amount of time sketching ;)... 

Sitting in the airplane....

Sketches from my 10 hour flight. I got the exit row, lots of legroom ;). Ballpoint pen.

Bored in history

From a while ago, there were doodles I did in my history class.

First day in Germany

So. Germany. 

I have a lot more, but it's kind of hard to post and stuff... but for now here is a quick airport page.
