Sketch for @lord_gris challenge!

How rough are your sketches? Here you have an example of how usually my sketches look! ^^

I want to participate in this challenge. The character by the artist has a beautiful water hair and I needed to explore this concept and create a story with it. 

In addition, with this drawing I'll try a (more or less) monochromatic color scheme! I'll be uploading next steps!

Style 1: Pegl0

So the first style I've tried is Pegl0's. Do you know this artist? I actually love it, and his style is so recognizable! 

I hope you enjoy the process ^^!

Special Challenge is coming!

Hi sweeties!

I'm preparing an interesting challenge and I would love to share it with you! Have you heard about "style challenge"? It consists of drawing a character in different styles! And I did this illustration of Mura as a reference. (By the way I'm afraid this is a great example of "I prefered the sketch" hahah)

During next days I will be uploading here 8-9 videos explaining each step and how I analyzed the drawing style of ...

Wip + tips

Maybe you recognize the character! He is the main character of the Webcomic Uriah ( https://www.webtoons.com/en/thriller/uriah/list?title_no=1607) :3

These days I'm focused on the webcomic and my final university projects so I don't have a lot of time to draw a lot, or to do difficult compositions (altough I really miss draw more dynamic things!). With this quick doodle I wanted to crea...

Speedpaint + Brush

The other day I was wondering how I could do with a marker tool that I don't usually use very much. I used this brush to do a sketch of Zelda. 

When I'm doing sketches I usually use a 800 x 800 px canvas since I don't pay so much attention to the details. For this drawing I used a red and yellow scheme, inspired by the scene of the original videogame. I re...

Dragon races [Muraka Project]

Hi sweeties! ^^

How is going your weekend? :D 

I wanted to share this with you! It's related to how to build an universe if you are planning to do a novel or a comic. In [Muraka Project] 's universe there are conventional animals and plants but, in addition, dragons. 

Dragons are mythological creatures that I've always liked, but actually some types of lizards in our planet are called dragon too.

And in this world, dragons are magical creatures View Post

Perspective Tip!

I was doing a sketch for an illustration when I noticed that I've never talked abou this! Also, it's something that nobody ever explained to me but once you know it, it helps a lot (in my opinion). 

It's related to placing the characters in backgrounds. Like the lines of buildings that meet at a point on the horizon, it also happens with bodies. The joints of the characters form lines (one shoulder with the other shoulder, one elbow with the other elbow, etc) View Post

Little video for the webcomic

How are you going sweeties? :D 

I finally end my final exams! Now I just have to work on my final degree project, but I don't have classes so I can spend my spare time preparing content for Patreon and drawing the webcomic ^^ 

So... I wanted to do something special for the launch of the comic (I'm seriously TOO motivated maybe? ^^") so I decided to download After Effects and learn how to do simple animations. This is my first ev...

Drawing scenes :D

I have to admit that I'm pretty proud of this drawing! It had been a long time since I didn't use the Draw This in your Style challenge  to draw scenes, and I really missed it!

It seems that this challenge is going to surge again? It seems that now we have a new wave of DTIYS, and I think I will try to make more complicated scenes with the characters!

These three are the characters by Rocío (@roitssomething).   View Post

New Drawing!

I really enjoyed doing this drawing. I've done it without thinking too much as a quick exercise. I wanted to exaggerate the size of the eyes to give it a more cartoon look too, and the environment it's so soft what do you think? :3 

I know I should work more on complicated compositions but these days I really needed to make it easy! ^^


Today I could not go to university because I got up with a horrible stomach ache, so today I have to work at home!

[Tips] Dynamic compositions

I plan to do a tutorial on composition in the near future, but I wanted to give a few brushstrokes for today! 

There are several things in the composition with perspectives that can provide dynamism.

1) Number of vanishing points. Using two vanishing points will always be more dynamic than using just one. [Example 1]

2) Decenter the vanishing point. If the composition requires a single vanishing point, avoid pl...

Just a little Wip ^^

Here I am working on the pages of the comic! I have little left to finish the first chapter. I like this page because emoticon style characters appear! ^^ And especially  I find Trece very adorable!

If you are wondering, I work on pages of 1200x1950 pixels, making three horizontal panels in each one. The pages in webtoon have to be 800 x 1280 pixels, so afterwards in Photoshop I add the texts and organize everything to make it cleaner!

Character schemes!

Hi sweeties! 

I just wanted to share this with you!

As you probably know, I'm working these days on the webcomic (I'm trying to finish 2-3 pages everyday in order to be able to post the final chapter here on June the 1st! :D).

Something that I'm finding quite problematic is keeping the excactly colors of each character in each page. In my case, I apply the base colors first, and then, I add different tones in multiply and overlay layers depending on the moment of the da...

Drawing Feet [Tutorial]

In my recent post on Instagram most people answer "feet and hands" to the question What's the hardest thing to draw for you?

I have to admit that feet are like a weakness for me. I often need references (my own feet or photos) if I want to draw them properly, exactly like hands. 

Here is a quick sheet where the base concepts are shown! 

I hope you find it as useful as I did! (and sorry for my horrible handwriting, next time I'll type it directly)
