Who is Felix?
Felix Scheinberger (*1969 in Frankfurt am Main) is a german artist, sketcher and illustrator. Along
with magazines and newspapers he also illustrated various books and wrote his own textbooks.
He became popular by bringing the Urban Sketching Movement to Europe. His book Dare to
Sketch (first German edition published 2009) was the first book to be issued in Germany about
Urban Sketching.
Felix Scheinberger studied graphic design with a focus on Illustration in Hamburg under Klaus
Ensikat and Erhard Götlicher. Later he published at the Büchergilde Gutenberg as well as
publishing house Hermann Schmidt in Mainz. He gained further popularity through illustrating
various books like his illustration for Paul Auster’s In the Country Of Last Things (2001 or
Thomas Mann’s novel Death In Venice (2005). In 2011 the Büchergilde Gutenberg published
Scheinbergers Homo Faber (2011). Further on he wrote multiple textbooks about sketching and
illustration, for example Dare to sketch (2017 Watson-Guptill Publications) , Urban Water Colour
Sketching (2011, Watson-Guptill Publications) and How to Make a Living from Illustration (2020,
Hoaki) among many others.
Felix Scheinberger took on the job as lecturer for sketching and illustration at the HAW in
Hamburg and University of Applied Sciences in Mainz in 2007. A year later he went to Jerusalem
as a visiting professor at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. Since September of 2010 he is
a professor for drawing and illustration at the design department at the University Of Applied
Sciences in Münster.
Scheinberger is a member of the board of trustees of literature magazine Belletristik. From 2010
