Texturas digitales que incluyen partituras

Hace tiempo que no actualizo el blog, pero ya estoy aquí (^v^). Ahora he empleado texturas digitales. Uso el programa Affinity Photo; es bastante bueno, y accesible a los bolsillos😀. También descargué algunas partituras de Tchaikovsky, el lago de los cisnes y la bella durmiente, y las incorporé en la composición, básicamente se recortan y se les coloca encima una textura en opción de multiplicar. Personalmente amo la música de éste compositor, es mi favorito.

Silverpoint technique

Hello everyone!!! It has been a while since I posted something here. But I'm back (^v^)/. I want to share with you a new technique that I learned last month. It is called silverpoint and it was used by medieval artists. It looks like graphite, however, it lasts so much more (we´re talking about centuries). For this work I used gesso ATL and a bit of yellow ocher pigment. I applied it to a coton sheet and I waited until it dried. Then, I applied the silverpoint. I really like the result. What do you think?

See you soon.

Acrílico y texturas

Hola a todos. Hoy terminé una ilustración que tenía pendiente. Usé acrílicos y gesso para dar textura.  El gesso puede aplicarse con espátula para que queden esos bordes marcados que luego se resaltan con pincel seco. La triada de color la elegí antes de comenzar a pintar. Al final sólo le pondré sus bigotes (^o^ )/.

Working on an illustration for children

Hi everyone!!!! This week I've been working in this illustration for my color class. It's basically the same technic I used on the last illustration I published here (^o^)/
It supposed to be an illustration for children, so the color is more saturated since the beginning, but I like to work in layers, so this is the result. Hope you like it. See you next week!!!!

Ink and watercolor

Hello everyone!!!!!! This time I will show you part of the inking process and I'm going to talk about  the materials that I used.
First of all you are going to need a good draw. I picked this one below. Remember that the aim of this exercise is to improve our skills, so try to pick something that is hard for you (^,^).



You may notice that there are some lines traced into the draw. Well, these lines will help you later. Think about they as a map. For example, the left shoulder is located almost above the left foot. Once you have studied the image, you can start drawing your own version of it.


Finish your sketch. It will be kind of dirty at this point, so trace it again. You can use a light box if you have one. If not, you can use tracing paper, whatever works for you. Then lets start using watercolors.

This is the brand I'm using. It's a Mexican brand, Acuarel from ATL. It's really pigmented, so, dilute is needed. Start with yellow and remember to keep the light of the paper. Work in layers to build shadows. 





After using yellow, start with orange and red. Remember that you need to work in layers. 
At this stage you will notice some volume. Keep working. For small details use a small brush. After applying red, you should continue with sepia or brown and then with green. Yes, green. (O.O) I couldn't believe it at first either, but trust me. I didn't have green nor sepia Acuarel, so I used Pelikan ink. Try not to mix brands unless you know they work well together. 


Finally, this is the result. I thing I need to work more on it (^v^).

Hope you like it!!!

Entintando...

¡¡Hola a todos!! Uno de mis maestros sugirió que comenzara a dibujar observando la anatomía de los físico culturistas, dado que sus músculos se marcan mucho más que en las personas normales, se pueden observar mejor las luces y las sombras.

Debo admitir que es bastante complicado, sobre todo porque mis dibujos son mucho más estilizados y no estoy acostumbrada a dibujar tantas sombras. Pero creo que es una excelente forma de mejorar la capacidad de observación del volumen.  <(- o -)>

Feliz año nuevo a todos!!!! Happy new year, everyone!!! He estando retomando algunos proyectos que no terminé en años anteriores, acá les presento a uno de ellos:


Se trata de una versión moderna de lo que es la caperucita roja. Ahora el lobo ronda las redes sociales y no el bosque, no creen?? Todavía está en proceso, hay detalles que mejorar. (ôuô )/
