Drawings

Structure figures. These drawings were part of a booklet of a Copic Ciao pencil set.


Pencil Drawing. I created this drawing as part of a project which focused on the characterization of people's personalities by their hands. These hands represent an elderly woman whose hands are marked by her age and who is starting to look for protection and security which is expressed by the devices of a pair of gloves and an umbrella.


Live Drawing. For this pencil drawing I had several items as option. The theme was to create a metamorphosis of an organic item with an inorganic one. I chose a pumpkin and a spoon as I thought they combine nicely by letting the spoon represent the pumpkin's leaf.


Diverse Projects






Cover & two extract pages of a coloured comic. I created this comic using mixed media. The largest part is painted using watercolour pencils, however for the parts which simulate Japanese woodcut I used ink on Japanese grasspaper. Also the background decoration paintings in the cover are actual ink paintings to make it look more authentic.
With this comic I took part in the German competition "Manga Talente 2005" and was awarded with the first prize.

Oil painting: "Gleam of Light" (100cm x 70cm). This is my very first oil painting which I created for the participation at the Arts and Culture Competition Baden-Württemberg. My work succesfully entered the exhibition gallery in Karlsruhe/Germany.


Poster design, mixed media. This is part of my commission work which I completed in 2006. The poster advertised an Asian exhibition at the German Übersee Museum in Bremen showing the contrast of modernity and culture.

Concept Art of Short Film Idea

This is some concept art of a 90 seconds short film idea. The story is set in an agricultural vinyard valley in the season of autumn. A little girl called Noodle Dawn goes out to harvest pumpkins with her older brother Hanzel. An accident makes them lose almost all their crop, but one pumkin remains...


The story idea was inspired by a German folk song which is about a very tall boy and a small chubby girl picking pears; so I wanted my characters to resemble this description and started off by drawing very rough shapes for their body stucture and the kind of location where the story takes place.

Concept art of location. The the colours are very warm to create the feeling of a nice day in autumn.


Concept drawings mainly to characterize the boy and the girl
