cielito despejado.

I'm really trying to educate myself further in photoshop. Illustrator is easy and logic by comparison!

noche sofocante de disque primavera (verano más bien) tapatía.

I am wholeheartedly loving Doctor Who's 5th season, it's so fresh and lovely and exciting, especially after the horrible, horrible specials we got last year - which meant that I wasn't actually very sad to see Ten go. But moving onwards, Eleven and Amy are a fantastic team, and I couldn't wait to draw something little with them.

And another version sans blue box. Just because.

cielo ya de noche, todo obscurito

I've been experimenting lately with getting that wallpaper effect. It's a bit weird but I like it. Photoshop's acting weird and it's not letting me copy/paste, though, which is incredibly annoying.

I've missed doodling around. Should do it more often. I've been thinking of getting a tablet, to make inking easier (that, or I could invest in proper drawing ink. Mmm.) and more uniform. I quite want one, but at the same time I don't know if it'll be hard to get used to it. Ah well.

Cielo despejado azul azul azul

The following are a series of illustrations I did for a Product Development class in Uni, in which we had to create a product and sell it, coming up with a business and marketing strategy for it, aside from the graphic and product design. My team sold t-shirts, notebooks and postcards. This was definitely a challenging process, but I'm quite proud of the end result, and my work for it.

Cielo a medio nublar



Háblame de Lluvia

Pencil on paper, colors in photoshop, handlettering with markers.

I've been on a quest to learn photoshop coloring as of lately, so I've been using mostly that. It takes forever, but I like how bright colors you can get (which is why I liked acrilics in the first place). Anyway, I liked the finished product, even if figuring out composition/background took ages.




And a variant, just because I can.




Off

Part of a larger series I someday hope to finish, whenever I get the skills for it. I've always been sort of amazed by the little movements or gestures we make every day and take for granted, I've always wanted to be able to capture that.

Drawn during class. I really wanted to try out with outlines the same color as the filling, but I sort of feel it makes this look muted. Oh well.

Drew this a while ago and then forgot to post, the guy was sort of based on another drawing I did around february. Really, it was an excuse to draw antlers.

Made for this week's theme over at Illustration Friday, which was Welcome. It's been a long, long time since I've done anything for IF, but I had the time and, apparently, the motivation today. Huh.

I made a very similar drawing for a friend's birthday card (obviously saying happy birthday at the top, lol) but didn't have time to snap a picture, so I decided to try and draw it again before I forgot how it was. This one looks even better, honestly.

Cielo medio despejadito: Redux



Don't Adjust Your TV Just Yet. (Dizque)
pencil, illustrator and photoshop

The sketch I made for drawing class in pencil, and then due to a lack of scanner tok a picture and vectorized before adding effects in photoshop. Based on a photo I once took of a cousin of mine - it looks nothing like him, but I really liked the energy in the sketch, which was lost completely in the painting I actually submited for class.

One of the paintings for my Drawing class, the theme of my individual project was 'contrast'. I braved the cold and went out for walks to draw buildings that caught my fancy, and then added the colors depending on that day's color of the sky.

Another painting for class, basically I just wanted to do mixed media, and do something ornamental and over the top. The final touch was spreading white glue and then just throwing sugar at it and hoping it would stick. It did, and now the painting shines when the light hits it, and looks wonderfully texturized.
