Corn Harvest Sat, 18 Sep 2010 11:23:29 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/corn_harvest Based on and titled after a prompt by Ken Johnson in the September 2010 EMG Sketch Fest. Drawn on A4 sized paper, though not making use of the full height... about 6.5 by 11 inches Warm Orchid Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:18:09 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/orchid2 <p>ACEO (3.5 by 2.5 inches), water colours (and black and white ink)</p> <p>Drawn from life (from one of my miniature orchids). The background gave me some trouble - first I used orange, which overpowered the yellow blossoms, then I added an ochre wash, which was better, but still too similar, so then I added a very light wash of umber.</p> Red Maple Sat, 29 May 2010 13:39:02 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/maple2 A red-leafed Japanese maple in front of some kind of thuja. Postwork: Level adjustment Halo Thu, 20 May 2010 15:37:02 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/dandelion Ex-dandelions in our front yard. Postwork: quite a bit of cropping. Leaf Green Thu, 20 May 2010 12:10:39 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/leaves3 "Leaf green? What kind of leaf?" The stuff in the foreground I think is some kind of acacia, in the background, cherry laurel. Postwork: Cropped down to 16:9 aspect ratio, at full width. Young Maple Wed, 19 May 2010 16:02:08 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/maple1 A young tree at the railroad tracks Orchid Wed, 14 Apr 2010 05:54:29 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/orchid1 My miniature orchid. Postwork: some cropping You have to start small Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:48:40 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/oak ...like oak trees. To paraphrase Terry Pratchett. It might be an older thing, but either way, I know it from one of the Tiffany Aching Discworld books, and it left quite an impact. Pencils (3H, B, 4B and 6B) Drifting Clouds Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:56:10 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/clematis As far as I can tell, those actually are clematis seeds. Postwork: Cropped down to 7x5 aspect ratio, keeping the full width. Green Arrow Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:18:32 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/ivy An ivy leaf with backlight Tulip Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:00:00 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flower4 ca. 4x6 inces, or in the general vicinity of an A6 postcard, watercolours on cold press watercolour paper. I looked at my gallery, and decided what I really needed right now was more bright colours. Gathering Yellow Sunlight Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:37:29 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/evening_primrose Well, that's very very bright. Pinkness! Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:34:49 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flower2 Unfortunately I have no idea what kind of flower this is, but I liked the 3D-shape of the blossom with the stamina. Gathering Red Sunlight Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:26:36 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/poppy2 Another poppy. I like them a lot. Ink Flowers Mon, 15 Jun 2009 12:25:25 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flowers2 Two ACEOs, showing a snowdrop and some kind of speedwell, drawn for a Daily Drawing prompt. Red, red, red Sat, 30 May 2009 10:36:58 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/poppy1 I liked the way it stood out against the shadow, even if the red turned out rather too bright. Foxglove Thu, 14 May 2009 18:54:00 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/foxglove For the Daily Drawing prompt "draw something poisonous". Drawn from life - there were some growing in a flower bed on campus. It was just a pencil sketch in my cheap-ass sketchbook, but I found a filter that made the scan look somewhat more interesting, I hope. Bus Shelter Mon, 05 Jan 2009 08:27:32 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/tree1 <p> I'm trying to get into a habit of taking more photos and improve.<br /> Postwork: Cropping<br /> The tree is some kind of acacia, as far as I can tell.</p> Shroom Sat, 08 Nov 2008 13:09:05 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/mushroom3 Growing in our front yard. Light's fun. Red Leaves Sat, 16 Aug 2008 22:00:00 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/leaves2 Rubber stamps, a pressed leaf, and water colours Daffodil Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:01:43 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/daffodilX I'd been meaning to draw a daffodil for quite a while already, so the Daily Drawing prompt helped me to finally get to it. Ink (mostly brush pen, dip pen with a "super elastic" nib for the lines on the the stem and petals, marker for the background) and a bit of digital drawing to turn it from a trapeze into more of a rectangle/square. Drawn on a postcard over its whole width. Nut Tue, 08 Jul 2008 22:00:00 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/hazelnut Just a bit of practise drawing from life, and late based on a Daily Drawing prompt Leaves Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:00:00 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/leaves1 Drawn from life, for practise. No shrubbery was harmed in the making of this image. Not Dead Yet Mon, 23 Jun 2008 09:14:15 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/cherry_log I went for a walk in the woods, and there was a piece of cherry trunk lying next to the patch, about a metre long, and, as you see, sprouted at least one fresh shoot. Life is odd and great like that, sometimes. Alive Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:48:32 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/old_tree This is one of two old trees that stood in front of the palace in Koblenz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koblenz By now it's gone. For once, I grabbed an opportunity to take a photo of something before it was over, rather than telling myself "I still can do that next week/month/year"... Need to do that more often. Blossom Rainbow Fri, 28 Mar 2008 23:00:00 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flowers1 Blossoms are kinda fun to photograph. Mostly, they hold still. :D Violet, borage, no idea, bird's foot trefoil, marigold and tulip, taken at different times and places. Apple Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:00:00 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/appleX Playing around with pastel pencils a bit. Blue Tongue Sun, 23 Mar 2008 23:00:00 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/lobelia In hindsight I would have taken a few steps back to get that one big stone at the bottom left in, if it really echoed the mat of flowers in shape like it seems here, but that spot is too far away to drive there just for one silly photo. @_@ White Sun, 23 Mar 2008 17:29:49 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/mushroom2 Some kind of fungus growing on a treestump. Pansy Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:00:00 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/pansyX ACEO, watercolours. Butterfly on Lavender Fri, 06 Jul 2007 22:00:00 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/butterfly1 I was rather lucky that the one photo I could take of that little one before it took off was properly in focus. As far as I can tell, that species is called "wall brown" in English. Mushrooms Fri, 01 Sep 2006 22:00:03 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/mushrooms1 Apple Mon, 24 Jul 2006 16:21:50 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/Xapple Daily Drawing sketches Tue, 30 May 2006 22:00:01 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/sketches5 Two sketches based on two different prompts. The rose was drawn from life, more precisely from a table decoration at a family function. Thorns Thu, 26 Jun 2003 16:40:43 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/dryad3 An attempt at digital colouring. Too flat. Brahini After Dinner Sun, 06 May 2001 22:00:00 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/brahini2 <p>Another image of the little "tulip devils" I came up with.<br /> The right had texture in blue ink added, the left is colourpencil only.</p>
