I apologize if the blog has become difficult to navigate
I’m having theme-related problems that I’m trying to solve as soon as possible.
Sorry.
Melancolía
Graphite on card, tinted on Photoshop.
Just a little thing I made during my absence. Started it during a boring reunion.
“Serenidad”
Graphite on paper. Tinted on Photoshop.
I always draw in any kind of class, assembly or reunion. Funnily enough, it helps me focus.
This one was made during a speech. I always carry some pencils and pens and pieces of paper. But if I do forget to bring paper with me, I draw in the best surface I can find, like the program, or my book, or a handout. This one is in the back of a handout with some quote related to the speech printed on it.
Enjoy :)
Another blind drawing. I challenged some of my friends to do this exercise. I made this one to spur them on!
It seems that the first blind drawing I posted is becoming popular. Thanks for your nice words. Life’s been giving me a hard time lately and it made me feel a lot better that you like what I do.
The process behind this picture. By the way, the watercolor part has three layers: Tones (burnt sienna), shadows (crimson and cobalt blue mixed) and tints. Nothing special.
I finished! Aaaah… I declare this experiment a SUCCESS. This is not as good as I wanted it to be but as the first time I make a watercolor underpainting and then add detail and such with color pencils, it’s not bad at all. I like this process a lot so this won’t be the last time I do pics like these.
Anyone following my personal blog (more of a dumpster than anything) might have noticed I was posting progress pics of this. I’ll post a photoset on this blog later.
This is what I would call a “blind drawing”. Just before going to bed, I turn off the lights, pick paper and pencil and take a few minutes to draw something. This way I’m able to focus on the big shapes instead of delving straight into detailing (a bad habit of mine) since I can only see faint shadows and the lead of the pencil leaving its trail on the paper.
