The Hunger Games: Finished illustration Nr.1

Last Semeser I did 4 illustrations of the First book of the triology "The Hunger Games". I mostly drew Katniss for some weird reason... I tried to draw things that i have trouble with like scenes in the dark and underwater, but this first one is just the scene when Katniss and Prim harvest all those dandelions (i know the don't look like dandelions but i wanted to give them a kind of futuristic look.) It was really weird to draw them so skinny, because they hadn't eaten in a long time. Oh and I think I drew both of them a bit too old.

I guess I will never do the technique again, which i used here, but it was interesting to play around with it.

Some portraits from the International Skizzenfestival Stralsund

During the 10 days I tried to do some watercolorportraits of fellow artists. I rarely used watercolor before, but i think they turned out quite nice.


The problem with drawing artist at the Skizzenfestival: They are all looking down when they draw too.

I tried out this weird calligraphy pen and I like the look of it.

Poster Number 2: 70th anniversary of the Fashioncampus Armgartstraße

Poster: 70th anniversary of the Fashioncampus Armgartstraße

After those old illustrations from last semester...here is a new illustration!


Our teachers gave us an assignment to draw a poster for the fashion design department of our university. The Fashion campus exists now for 70 years and there will be a big fashion show on the street in front of the school. The last days I had practically no time, but I wanted to draw this poster so badly, that I just did it during the course of one day.
And it's always so much fun to draw girls with fashionable clothes. ;)

The posters will be on display during our annual exhibition from July 14th till July 16th 2011.


Here are the sketches, which are really messy, but I didn't have to show anyone and some color variations.


Steven made me change the green zombiehands to a more suitable color and I'm so glad he did, because I really like the result.

Old illustrations

I did these illustrations for my magazine class last semester, where we got together in groups, picked a magazine and illustrated some old articles. I was part of the "Greepeace-Magazin" group and decided to illustrate an article about the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, especially the effect on the children, whose parents were murdered or who became murderers themselves.
It was important to reintegrate the children into some kind of family or group again and prevent the victims from seeking revenge, so that it would not result in a new genocide.

I'm not sooo satisfied with the results, but here they are:
