Artist recommendation II - Portrait

Hi everyone!

I have a little surprise👀 I've been secretly working on the second Artist Recommendation , it's always important to know and study new artists! I always like to share some of my favorites with you💗

I think there will be a part II of the Study from the Masters soon too... 💫

Enjoy!

Secret sketch✍🏻 Zendaya’s Mugler look

Hi everyone!

I think I’m going to start to share the secret sketches again✨

This time it is a “study” of Zendaya’s latest look, it is so beautiful! Thanks to drawing the silhouette of the costum I could see all the details💠

I don’t remember when was the last time I spent some time drawing a portrait for myself, as a hobby. I feel like I’ve been drawing only for creating content lately and it hasn’t been much drawing either. At least I realized an...

Extra: Watercolor & colored pencils practice🎨 Full process video

Hi guys!

I'm posting this a bit too late at night (it's 23 p.m. here) but I've been trying to export this video to have it in time for today. It has taken so long to fully export (maybe because the footage is long as well) but I really wanted to post it still, so you can maybe watch it tomorrow with some time💫

Not sure if you know this but I am a big fan of Women's Football, specially Barcelona's team. I guess that makes sense, as I am from Barcelona and they are also making hi...

Monthly video: Start a new project with me - Self-portrait rotoscope

Hi lovelies!

Here’s the full process of my newest project, a self-portrait rotoscope inspired by the reel of @kickiyangz on Instagram🌟

You already know I have worked with the rotoscope technique before, but I really wanted to try again! This time I did everything freehand with the help of my light table, you will see how I do it on the video!

I really encourage you to try this animation technique sometime, it is so fun to do! Although drawing yourself so many times is ...

Close look at the “Self-portrait rotoscope project☀️

Hi everyone!

This is the newest project I’ve been working on for the past week, I will be posting the month video about the process tonight!

I saw a Reel/TikTok idea from an artistic called @kickiyangz and I loved it, so I wanted to try it✨ The images I’m sharing on this post are only the drawings from the rotoscope, so it may not have a lot of sense now. But just wait for the video to see the finished result🌼

This is also an early access to a social media post, as ...

New mural project🎨 Design sketch from Procreate

Hi guys!

So, it turnes out I'm doing another mural project with my friend Lúa, as last time🙈 This one is going to be on a building, made to protect and give a value to the garage area.

That is why the neighborhood asked us for a simple design that represented the town, Barcelona. We did our version, as they only wanted the siluettes from distinctive monuments of the town. I think this looks much better! Choosing a cool color palate was so difficult😳 On this video you can se...

Portrait proportions: Blocks of the head

Hi guys!

Here is this month's Tips & drawing guides, I love this type of study so much. I also think it's super important to know about it! I've received some questions regarding this so I though it would be a great idea to talk about it here!

Don't forget to make your practice so you can undertand everything better and learn to adapt it to any kind of reference🌿 Enjoy!

Hi guys!

I hope you’re having a wonderful start of the month. I wasn’t expecting to be so busy but it’s a good time and I am working a lot✨

Hi guys!

Portrait in perspective • Step by Step

Hi guys!

This time I wanted to try a different type of perspective than the usual. I found this reference on Pinterested and loved it!

As you can see I helped myself with the guidelines, they are so important to undertand the distortion of the perspective and do it right! I will make sure to talk about this more in depth really soon👀✨

Websites for references & exercising✍️

Quickposes: This website is perfect to practice timed exercises. You have different challenge options (chiaroscuro, laying, sitting, warr...

Hi guys!

As we're into drawing practice this month, following the topic I decided to start a new challenge on Discord so all of us can try it✨ This is, again, another exercise I used to do at college, and I leaned so much from it that I can't wait for you to try it🏵️

How to get the most out of your stroke

Hi everyone!

This one took some time but I think it was worth it✨

I was really struggling trying to choose from 2 topics for this month's Tips & drawing guides, but I think this January is all about practicing and experimenting, as you can see on the monthly video. So I think this information can be really helpful!

I really recommend you to try these exercises, I will be adding some of them to the Discord challenges😉

Monthly video: Study with me - Expressive and gestural drawing / Part 1

Hi everyone!

Here is the first part of January's monthly video💫 I wasn't planning to do two parts of this video but I think it's worth it. Separating the topic in different sections can make you focus on both, one at a time!

In this video you will see where to look for references to practice this exercise. You will also see some of my attemps, after 3 years of not trying it again. I really missed it!🤗 I also show you some examples 2024-01-15 18:09:20 +0000 UTC View Post
