Apolo


More collage!, ink, colored pencils, water colors.

Illustration for College.

We had free choice of topic to make 3 illustrations. I chose 3 gods from the Olympus.

This one is Hades.

I'm using several techniques here: collage, watercolors, ink, colored pencils... It's very entertaining to be able to experiment and find what suits best when it commes to transmiting a mood or a feeling.

Taranis


Illustration for drawing workshop

We had to make an interpretation of a given God, mine was "Taranis", thunder and storm god from Wales and Britain, he was given sacrifices in order to calm his anger and tough character.

The point of this excercise was to use a colored board as a midtone, thus, we had to make all the lights and shadows leaving the color of the board between these two.

Hair 2


More ink hair-ness.

I added details with golden ink as to resolve the face/light thing in a different was as I did on Hair 1

Illustration for class at college.
We had to give focus to the hair, so I made it all with ink as to be able to add good detail.

Midnight Flor


Second try with this experiment. I noticed how this pic looks a whole lot more "controlled" and accurate, something that doesn't quite happens on "Nikei". Colors and textures seem to be more related to each other.

Stripes


This picture was taken from a photograph I found on the Vogue Latinoamerica issue of August 2008 by Tim Walker. He has done some pretty impressive work for Vogue throuout many years.

I used different techniques on this one, as triying to make them all work out moslty for the clothes. This paper has such a wonderful texture that allows watercolor (with not a lot of water though) and pencil colors. The little stars and details on the blouse and shoes where made with golden ink, which is sorta lost on the scanning, but it's all nice and sparkly in real life :P

India


This is a mail stamp made for class. We could work on any topic we wanted and I picked India tigers, that are sorta mistical and enchanting. Wildernes's beauty and magic.

The image is all made with ink, something I've neve done before and it took some time and thought.

I really like how it turned out.

Crew




We had to make a composition with a woman, a man and a child for class, so I took the opportunity to portrait my own characters, which I'm very fond of.
This was all made with watercolor and pencils on a sheet of 50 cm X 70cm, so it was a real pain to scan and arrange the image properly, not to mention that there's a lot of watercolor detail missing here, none the less, I like it as it turned out.

There is this strange pleasure in being carefree when using color.
