TATORTKULISSE

Der Ausblick aus meinem Wagen, während ich auf meine Karate-Kids warte. Ein bisschen Krimi.

SCHLAG AUF SCHLAG

Kurzer Ausblick, während meine Jungs Karate üben. Vielleicht kein Zufall, dass die Karate-Schule ausgerechnet bei den Ziegelhöfen zu finden ist. Aber bis die beiden Ziegelsteine entzwei hauen können, wird’s noch ‘ne Weile dauern.

AUFBAUEND

Ringsum werden praktische und quadratische Menschenställe geklötzelt, aber dieses windschiefe Gebäudchen hält trotzig die Stellung.

Cars in Allschwil

The only chance I had to sketch this week was just before my weekly groceries shopping on Saturday. I sat in front of the supermarket and sketched for around ten minutes. Not a very picturesque place but trying to sketch the traffic in motion was quite fun.

First week wrap up

It wasn't easy to find time to sketch last week, but I finally managed to do it almost every day. For now my goal is to develop a "sketching-routine" without worrying much about the style and the location. I focus on basic things, like getting the perspective and the proportions right. Hopefully once that works I will be able to be more selective with the location and try new things.

Sunday (8th). I had to work a couple of hours. I stopped on my way to the office for a quick sketch, that ended up being not-so-quick.


Monday. I traveld to meet one of my clients and got into the train seven minutes before departure. I often use that time to sketch. It's a great exercise for those who, like me, tend to get lost in the details.

On my way back I tried to make a sketch of the train station but messed it all up really quick.


Tuesday. I started this at around 8pm and had to stop because it got dark. It's an old house in Allschwil. Allschwil is a neighbour town, which is gradually being annexed by Basel. I colored it at home.


Wednesday. Stadion Schützenmatte


Friday. Again a house (a "Biergarten" actually) in Allschwil, although this one is exactly at the border with Basel.


Sunday. And still one more random location in Allschwil. To my defense I can say Allschwil is in Basel-Country, the half-canton that surrounds Basel city, and thus falls within the scope of the blog.


By the way, welcome to the blog Jamie!
