Urban Illustration

Russell and I travel a lot. Russell likes to take pictures. I like to illustrate. What better way to document our travels than to illustrate Russell's photos? Germany, USA, Norway, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Portugal are just a few of the countries on our list that we have already visited together.

In this Tutorial I'll show you my best tricks and smartest workflows to turn urban photography into geometric and minimalistic illustrations with lots of atmosphere and depth. In the video on Digiversity.tv Russell and I will guide you through our new book project "Right here, Right now" in which we bundle our photos, illustrations and stories about our travels and adventures.

Brush Masterclass

A couple of years ago, I bought some chinese ink and roll of japanese calligraphy paper. I just played around while "Spirited Away" was playing in the background. I started painting a version of No-Face with my chinese brushes, ink, and water.

I was so happy with those loose, little sketches, that I kept them in my drawer all this time. Now it's time to pull them out and turn them into something cool!

They became my inspiration for today's Inktober Prompt, which is FLAME.

It's this time of year again! The leaves are falling, the days are getting shorter, there is a smell of fall in the air. Wonderful! It's also time to get our inks out, light a candle, and sit down every day to join the artists crowd of inktober lovers!

Equip yourself with your favorite art supplies, kindness, patience and some snacks! We're summoning our creative spirits again!

Kickin' my inktober off with an illustration of the No-Face from "Spirited Away" I decided to stick the japanese theme this year. Why? Because it rocks!

Hoping for completely different interpretations, compositions, styles, color themes, and creative approaches, we were not disappointed with the outcome of our first Artketeers Session!
