Update on my first Zine of "Call Me By Your Name"✨

Hi everyone!

As promised here's an update of the fanzine I started last month. These are some of the pieces I've been working on lately to complete the final book. The paiting is actually from around 2020, but I wanted to share it with decent quality in here, as I really like it🥰

As you can see I'm using different mediums to make the final result more dinamic! I love to draw with graphite but I think it is necessary to add color if I'm talking about this beauti...

Secret sketches - practicing exercises

Hello✨

I’m excited to be sharing these with you today! This are the first pages of a new sketchbook (what a surprise👀) I started recently.

I needed a space to practice freely and do the drawings I normally wouldn’t do on my regular sketchbooks. I usually put too much pressure on myself to have “the perfect sketchbook”, that’s why I find it hard to draw other things in them. But I feel really motivated to study character design, different expressions...

Giveaway results: Congrats!💜

Hi again!

These are the results of the raffle. Congrats Salomón and Nur!

As you can see on the attached video I chose the winners randomly. Actually it was a website who did it.

I’ll make sure to do more of this to keep thanking you. Thanks again to all of you for being here!!🌟

New “Avatar” themed sketchbook🌍

Hi guys!

In case you don’t know I’m obsessed with sketchbooks!🫣 One problem I always find when I try to use one for a specific theme is they’re usually too big. That’s why I decided to create one myself!!

I got some pages from another sketchbook I don’t use anymore (it’s just a mess) and I cut the cover myself. It’s not that difficult but I feel proud🌞 I didn’t know how to close it and I decided to use a button to tie the thread! I wanted to use a thin string...

Downloadable sketches for practicing shading

Hi guys! This one is a request from one of you✨

I wanted to share this two drawings with it's reference pictures so you can practice shading at home. Sometimes we're too focused on getting resemblance right that we spend too much time on the first sketch. I hope that already having that done helps you! If you would like to see my own shaded and finished version of the drawings let me know and I'll also post them.

The sketches are available for 2023-01-18 16:30:40 +0000 UTC View Post

2 methods for colored drawings

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to be sharing this one with you, with an extra new drawing I haven't shared anywhere👀 

Stay tuned for Vol. 2 sometime this week. It'll be about coloring realistic portraits, not as fantasy as these film character ones. As I felt so bad for the delay of the Monthly video I thought this would be a good idea to pay you back for your kindness🥰

Update on monthly video

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble exporting what would have been today's video. I've tried to do it 3 times since this morning but once it arrives at 80% it just stops exporting. 

Maybe it's because the lenght of the video. I feel obligated to divide the video in two so I can export it differently.

I'm sorry about this situation, I'll make sure to upload it as soon as posible. It takes around 2 hours to process so I think it's probably better to upload it around 12 a.m tomorr...

Secret sketch of the month❄️

Hi!✨

For December’s secret sketch I wanted to show you one of my favorites from the sketchbook. This was a study of the statue Hexe (Witch) by the artist Karl Cauer, from 1874.

I feel so inspired by the classic look of statues, specially the gaze of the faces and that particular beauty standard/facial structure.

I didn’t know the artwork and the artist until I saw it on one of my most favorite IG accounts, which is @justarthistory. I absolutely recomme...
