Sketchbook Saturday #2

-

Hi there, fellow Wombatants! Amalia here, and welcome to our second Sketchbook Saturday! And today, we've got this to share:


So, we had this idea to just grab a number of everyday objects and sketch them, just for general practice. Michael started with our studio headphones in the top left image, and we immediately realized that drawing them at an angle was way beyond us.

Soooo he instead drew them as a flat representation (Which at least turned out quite well, we think!). And then, as you can see we pivoted towards practicing different perspectives, so we went a bit wild with boxes, and some pyramids for variety. Was actually rather fun to do!

As for the bottom right image...... well, to be quite honest, we kinda ran out of time, so Michael just quickly did a little stylized Agent 47, just for funsies. The neck's a bit broad and as a result, the proportions on the suit are off, but considering he threw it together in a hurry, i actually rather like how it turned out.😛

Still, we should probably do 1-2 sketches per week, rather than multiple panels like this. 

-Or- dedicate more time to drawing, which would be quite nice. But then, we'd be missing that time for other projects, so yeh, gotta just do our best with what we have.😉


Anyway, that'll be it for this week's sketchbook Saturday! Again, these posts are meant to be small bites to share, not massive projects. We've got enough of those going.😜

See you next time, and until then, stay safe, draw some boxes and have a good one!

Our visit to Thomann, 13th of June '25

  Howdy folks!   So last month, we visited Thomann! Again!  It was our second time around. We didn't have a blog to write about it last time. But this time we do, so we shall tell you a little about our visit and the stuff we brought home with us! 😀    Well, to get us started, if you don't know, Thomann is a musical instrument and equipment vendor. One of the biggest, actually. They're mainly known for their online store , which has a rather chunky selection of various bits and bobs, from really fancy guitars and PA systems to little curios like this .  And no, this blog post isn't sponsored or anything. We just wanna tell you about our visit.😉    So anyway, a little curiosity when you want to visit Thomann's actual shop location is that it's..... *really* out of the way. It's in a small settlement called "Treppendorf", here in central Germany. The funny thing is: We actually live only about an hour's drive away, and yet we really can't g...

Rollerskates, graffiti and a god-tier soundtrack: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

... is what we'd recommend you do with this game.   Heya, Michael here.   So, a little while back, we found that the original Jet Set Radio was on Steam.   This was quite the thing for us to learn you see, because JSR is one of those games we've often heard about, but had never had a chance to actually play.   A shame, because it's got a much vaunted soundtrack, and unsurprisingly for a musician, we're are a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to games with good soundtracks!   But yeah, we learned it had been on Steam for years, and was actually gonna get taken off the store, soon (it has been, by now).   So needless to say, we bought it while we could, and jumped right into it, having an absolute.....   .....ly awful time with the gameplay.   Yeah, sorry if you're a big fan of JSR, but you've gotta face it, man, it's the nostalgia doing it for ya. Because hopping into it as a fresh player in modern times? Maaaan, it feels clunky as all heck t...

Our music listening habits

    Greetelings everyone, Amalia here.    So, we figured that, seeing as we're a musician of.... indeterminate genre, some of you might (hopefully) be interested in what sort of music we actually listen to, and our general habits with that.   Now, you'd perhaps think that someone who makes music themselves would probably listen to tunes 24/7 and live and breathe music, but that's actually quite far from the reality, here.   See, we don't actually listen to music all that much in life, in the grand scheme of things. Typically, in the mornings, we prefer the quiet, enjoying some peaceful time for contemplation and meditation.   Our workplace is an industrial firm, but unlike many such places, the higher-ups don't want radios playing around the shop floors. Seems daft to us, since it's known to increase productivity in those kinds of settings. But alas.   Now, when we get home in the evenings, that's our prime time for music listening. When we're get...
