  • Thank you! I really enjoyed this prompt. I personally found the one with the alligator more difficult. Actually, I recently saw the new film adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Of course, everyone knows Frankenstein, but I hadn't really delved into it before. And wow, what a profound story full of tragedy.

    A creature, unable to find the death it desires, desperately asks its creator for a companion so it won't be alone forever. When the creator denies this wish out of horror and disgust at his own creation, the creature is consumed by a furious rage and rebels against its maker. The story is strangely relevant, more so than ever.

  • this is kind of uncomforting 😬🤔

  • ?

  • That looks really neat. Love it

  • Thank you! I think with charcoal I would get better transitions between the dark and lighter parts, but this wouldn't be inky anymore and with charcoal it is always a little bit messy afterwards 😉.

  • You are welcome😉. Aber wer zum F*ick ist Hans 😉.

  • Thank you, I'm glad you like it.😃

  • SPRICH

  • I thought it was the other way around with the dragons and shoes 😉. Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

  • Thanks, I'm excited to see how you implement it 😃. Yes, my way of thinking sometimes rubs people the wrong way in real life. But if I had the choice, I probably wouldn't trade it.

  • Thank you! It comes out better than I expected 😄. For the lines, I applied acrylic paint from top to bottom using a notched palette knife. For the group of two figures on the right edge, I used a regular palette knife. For the splashes of color, I partially covered the painting and carefully sprayed it with paint. This made the painting wavy. It probably depends on the paper, but you can easily smooth it out again after drying by lightly dampening the back of the painting with water from a spray bottle and then weighting it down between sheets of newspaper and some books to dry again. Afterward, I traced the shapes with oil pastels. Finally, I applied a coat of varnish to seal it.

  • That's a great idea. Maybe I should try that with a tile sometime, thanks 😃🤝

  • Thank you, I appreciate that. This picture didn't take long. I'd estimate a maximum of 10 to 15 minutes. I'm curious. What, in your opinion, distinguishes it from yesterday's doodle with the ship? It's the same technique.

  • I can't say for sure. But I've always doodled, more or less casually. At some point, I started drawing cities from basic shapes, and the rest came gradually. That was about a year ago, I think. Actually, I don't think much about the finished result.

  • Thank you, but unfortunately that place does not exist.

  • Ha, das ist clever 😁.

  • I like how the title "Do you play with matches" also contains a wordplay. The first obvious thing that comes to mind is, of course, Tinder and matches. But also "burnout" in reference to the burnt matches. Was that your intention with this piece? It doesn't have to be, of course 😉. That's what art is for, and luckily, art is free. But as you can see, you've already made me think. So your work has already had an effect. A great piece.

  • Thank you! I appreciate it 🙂. For my first attempt with ink wash, it turned out better than I expected. I simply hadn't had the "courage" before to generously apply the ink and just give it a try. But these are precisely the moments that remind me of the carefree nature of childlike creativity. Just do it and trust the process! 😄

  • Heißt ja nicht umsonst Stubentiger und Tiger sind doch Großkatzen 😉. Nee, es ging ja um die Gadse. Der Rest ist nur, damIt sie nicht in der Luft hängt. Halt ne schnelle Skizze. Sie setzte sich gleich nachdem sie mIch begrüßt hatte an meine Seite. Da muss man einfach streihln.
