Endlich Mal wieder eine Tagebuch-Comicseite geschafft. Inklusive Schmierereien, Staub auf dem Scanner und anderen Unperfektheiten. Egal. Hauptsache mal wieder eine Seite geschafft.

Das ist das schΓΆne an Zeichnungen: sie haben keinen Ton!!

Thursday evening 6 o'clock #uskdortmund #urbansketching
just like every week.
This time outside, watching the sun go down and the moon up in the sky, light getting less and less and sketching whatever: Bib and stuff.

View towards the City and State Library.
I actually wanted to draw people passing by. But it got dark quickly.

Last two weeks of Thursday evening #uskdortmund #urbansketching : still hiding inside (Thier-Galerie and U-Bahn station Westentor), cause it's still dark and cold outside... and no patience for sketching.

Typical February weather... so we looked for a warm place again.
Thursday's meetup of #uskdortmund inside the shopping mall 'Thier-Galerie'.
Much too noisy for me. πŸ˜’
So I stopped drawing.

Thursday evening #urbansketching in Dortmund: warm and cozy inside the shopping mall Thier-Galerie (though I really do hate the noisiness there and shopping for anything really isn't my thing either...but it's actually an ok place to sketch)

Thursday evening #uskdortmund : Urban Sketching in the Museum Ostwall.

A sketchbook in front of a wall in the art exhibition. Square paintings with seascapes of varying sizes hang there. A stylized figure stands in front of them.

Thursday's meetup of #uskdortmund at Westenhellweg and inside 'Wintergalerie'.
My favorites there are the paintings by Heike Onnertz.

#uskdortmund meet up last Thursday: Sketching in and around the "Wintergalerie" (in the old Kaufhaus building). Me: outside, just a view of the "Westenhellweg". In not too cold temperature (8 Β°C), almost hot already. (Me, anyway, or is that just the hot flashes?)

Zum GlΓΌck ist er ja auch nur im Hintergrund 😜 Wobei irgendwie ist er jedes Mal, wenn ich ihn angucke, weniger hΓ€sslich als ich ihn mir vorstelle. Keine Ahnung, was das soll...πŸ˜…

Yesterday: last #uskdo #urbansketching meet up for this year: Stefanie wanted to sketch the big Christmas tree and the Christmas market because she hadn't yet, so that's where we went. (This time the lights on the tree were turned on and somehow I'm not hating it quite as much as I think I should).

Thursday evening #uskdortmund #urbansketching : in the cold, first day of the Christmas market (ok: "Christmas City"), sketching the biggest Christmas tree worldwide (or something like that) (no, it's not about being pretty) but not lightened up yet (I think they turn it on on Sunday or Monday?)

Yesterday's #urbansketchers meetup in Dortmund: Sketching in front of the Petrikirche again.
It's unbelievably warm 15Β°C (or more?) in the evening at the moment.
That's new: being able to sketch the people sitting outside at a Cafe at 6 pm in the dark. Seems like a November heat wave.

Last Thursday evening #uskdo meetup: night time #urbansketching of the merry go round during the in-between-markets phase (time between Hanse market and official Christmas market) with the pretty big moon in the background.

(getting the colors right is a lot harder in the dark)

The last few weeks of #uskdo #urbansketching :
Rombergpark, Propsteikirche (three little boys helping me color in the sky and the trees),
and yesterday sketching in the dark on the Hansemarkt (a try at sketching moving people)
It's the dark season now: no more daylight Thursday evening sketches πŸ₯²

A double-page sketchbook with a ballpoint pen sketch by four sketchers. They sit drawing in front of a large window overlooking the city; it's raining. The interior space is indicated in red and blue.

There were only six of us, and we stayed in the "loudspeaker" bay window of the U-Tower, overlooking the city.

yesterday's #UrbanSketching meet up with #uskdortmund
I was too concentrated on all those buildings and whatever perspective does when you look down a street - forgetting all the passerbys that should also be caught on paper.
So now I have a ghost street.
Next time: more people!
