Content calendar resume for 2024✨

HI lovelies! I'm so excited to be starting a new year with all of you🌈 We're already 300 members!😳(free and paying members)

Today I want to share this content resume, as I decided there won't be more monthly calendars. The reason why is because it puts too much pressure on myself as a content creator to stick to the content I "compromise" to share, no matter what happens in my life. I know I'm the one who is putting the pressure on myself, 100% myself, but in orde...

Year recap✨ Thanks for an amazing year💗

(I thought I l scheduled this post for yesterday and I made a mistake with the date🫠 Happy New Year guys!!)

So, we're about to end this year 2023... I think I still need some time to process all the things that happened in 12 months🌈

Today I really wanted to take a moment and think about everthing that has happened this year. I don't want to talk about specific things that happened, but how the year went in general.

As you can see on the photo of this ...

Sketchbook update📓✍🏻

Hi guys!

It's officially the last day of the year, I can't believe it! I wanted to show you the small progress I did on my main sketchbook these days. You already know how busy I always am, so I have no time to continue filling my sketchbooks. I hope this is something I can change for next year✨

I really like how the first portrait turned out! Cintia is an amazing model and I always enjoy drawing her, she's just so beautiful! I need to draw her at least one time per year🙈If y...

Step by Step drawing - From the Discord challenge🎲

Hi everyone!

Yesterday I did this portrait from the choose and work on a reference together on Discord.

You guys chose this photo, it was my favorite as well! But it is still tricky, Joaquin’s face is really asymmetrical and that can be difficult to get right!

That’s why I decided to take photos of my process, hopefully they’ll help🌟

Anatomy practice🦵🏻Exclusive process video

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing with you my latest anatomy practice, made from a sculture reference (you already know how much I like them) Don't forget you have the photo attached💫

I really missed drawing full bodies, I need to do it more often. Specially like this, as a quick sketch🌸

Hi lovies!

Just wanted to here and wish you all a Merry Christmas!⭐️🎄🎅🏻

I’ve been so excited for this time since December started, and now it turnes out I won’t be able to spend the holidays with my family as we all got sick at home. Yup, again! I seriously lost count of how many times I’ve been ill this year🤣 (laughing but crying inside) But I’m doing much better now, I’ve been sick since Tuesday so you can imagine!

So yeah, my family from home and...

Free STICKER sheet to download - CUTE CATS💌

Hi guys!

It's time for a special reward💫 This month Honorary supporters and Collector's 1 & 2 are getting this printable document, so you can make your stickers at home!

I think this is a great idea, as there's no need to pay for shipping which would make it quite expensive for stickers. I hope you like them!💞

Elderly portrait 👵🏻 Step by Step process

Hi everyone! I hope you’re enjoying the weekend🫶🏻

I thought it would be nice to share with you the process of my latest portrait, that you can see on this month’s tips & guides cover photo🌟

As I said on the intructive video, I find drawing portraits from elderly people so interesting and a great exercise to practice all kinds of skins! You can go ahead and follow these steps if you want✨

Don’t forget about the 2 types of wrinkles😉

Monthly video: Portrait study - Drawing different ages (from infant to elderly)

Hi everyone!

I hope you enjoy watching the last monthly instructive video of the year, this took a while but I think it's worth it🌻 I've had problems with the audio, but luckily I've been able to fix it on time.

You will hear me saying it on the video but I'll say it again. Thank you so much to everyone who's been a part of this community over this year🧡 Can't wait to start a new one with you and upload more & more tutorials! Enjoy xx

Advanced portraiture: Aging in skin, firmness and textures

Hi everyone!

Here it is, finaly, the Tips & drawing guides of the month💗 

I think this is a super interesting subject and I really enjoyed studying it this month. I consider it advanced portraiture because it's about textures and final touches Overall it's realism, not only basics of drawing.

Ayways, I hope you enjoy it! You have the reference picture of the drawing I did as the step by step attached on this post✨

💻Editing mode🎥 Monthly video + tips & drawing guides

Hi guys!

I've finally been able to record this month's instructive video, it felt like an eternity! There's so many things happening at once lately that I feel like time is flying this December.

Agh, I feel bad for not having it done already, but I'm doing my best to have both tutorials, the Monthly instructive video and the Tips & drawing guides ready in the next 48h. I think it's better to do it "slowly" and great than doing it faster but ba...

Continuing the challenge✍🏻 2/2 from the 100 Heads

Hi guys!

Today I continued the 100 Heads Challenge, I need to hurry up if I want to finish it this year👀 I’ll keep making updates with more drawings and not page by page.

I know it’s going to be difficult because December is a month full of work, but wish me luck with this!!🤞🏻

Extra video: Full process of my latest female portrait💞

HI lovelies!

I'm back from the little rest, I really needed that🥰 I hope you're enjoying December so far!

Here's a full process video of my latest portrait, which I talk a little more about it on my social media. This one really helped me connect with myself and take some time to draw whatever I feel like drawing. It ended up being one of my favorite drawings from 2023🌸

I hope you enjoy the video!

Quick update🌟

Hi again guys!

I don’t know of most of you saw my latest post on social media, I just did yesterday. But as I informed you two weeks ago I’m not in my best moment, although I’m doing much better now.

So I’m going to be resting for a couple of days, because I really need it✨ I will go an a quick trip with mu partner💗 I’m sure you will undertand but, still, I want to tell you I will come back with an extra video this week, to compensate the innactivity🥰

Love ...

November’s physical rewards are ready🚀

Hi everyone!

I just printed November’s print and sticker designs, I love them!✨ They will be shipped on Thursday this week🥰

I’m making a book!🥹 New project🌟

Hi guys!

I can finally tell you this, I am SO EXCITED!! I’m working with Quarto publishing on a book about Drawing Cats!

This week I started working on the first 2 projects of 52, they’re a lot😳 But as you can see here each project will be 2 pages, so we can work with a lot of cat poses and focus on how to draw each part of the animal✨

I am so happy about this new chapter in my career. I will be sharing some updates...

December’s content calendar

Hi everyone! 

We're already saying goodbye to this year🌈

I can't believe it's been a whole year on this platform (and a couple of months). It happened so fast! Time flies, really.

I want to leave this year behind as best as possible, so I hope you like what's going to come✨ I will talk more about the giveaway when we're closer to Christmas👀

Thanks for deciding to spend December with me and this family💗

Poster: 1-50 portraits from the 100 Heads Challenge🌸

Hi guys!

We’re already halfway done with this challenge, I love how this turned out!

I will make another poster with the 100 portraits but I still wanted to digitalize these for you🌟 You can also download it in PDF format✨

Portrait 31 (100 Heads) - Real time video

Hi guys!

Here's the exclusive process video of the month💫 I enjoyed working on this portrait so much!

I've known this reference for so long and I spent so much time waiting to draw it. I don't work with much skins with acne and that needs to change!! I think the representation is so important, I am the first one "suffering" it, so it makes even more sense.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the real time video!💛

Decide December's monthly video!🌙

Hi lovelies!

We're almost at the end of the year (it happened so fast!!), and I want you guys to choose which monthly video you want to see before closing this year✨

The multiple choice option is available!!

100 Heads 👥 - 45-48

Hi guys!

I found some time to continue this project and I want to share it with you! I’ll try to have all 50 tomorrow so I can start scanning each drawing🥰 These ones were really quick, as I couldn’t spend more time on them, but I do like them!

Remember you have all the references used on the 100 Heads Challenge on this Pinterest board!

Life update & new projects✨

Hi everyone💌

I think it’s time for update on how things are going on in my life😊

The truth is I’m not in my best moment currently, there’s stuff going on in my life that is making my everyday a bit difficult, but overall I’m trying to get the best out of it✨

Regarding work, November has to be one of the hardest months to challenge, but that’s good! It’s just that sometimes life can be too much🤣 I just started a new project with a publishing house which...

Sketchbook update🐾 Animals

Hi guys!

As I told you last week, I wanted to share the original penguin drawing from this month’s print options✨

I though it would be great to share some other animal sketches with you! These are from my studies sketchbook📓

Drawing challenge: Quick sketch - Shading

Hi guys!

I thought it would be nice to share this exercise/challenge I did with one of the portraits from the 100 heads. Instead of working on a regular quick sketch I focused on working on a quick shading, and I think it worked!

Doing these exercises in different ways can really help us to improve in all the areas, as we can focus on one thing at a time. And it can also help to not get bored!💫

I hope you enjoy watching this extra video💞
