Anke Eissmann became famous and employed for her illustration of the Lord of the Rings books. In school she had a deal with the teachers, that she may draw largely uninterrupted by the teachers, as long as she showed a minimum of engagement in class. And so she kept on drawing, and this way she got herself into art schools and developed her skills further. Her art has a slight Medieval touch to it and this plays very well against the drama in the pictures. The people aren't the main focus, the images work as a whole impression. She works mainly in water colours, but she also shows other media, as well as short movies and animation line tests on her page.
The page is in German and English.
