Being busy these days, but I wanted to try at least to do something to wish you happy holidays, and in case I won't be able to, happy New Year too :)<br />
<br />
This girl is a design I made a while ago with some little changes. It was fun!<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy these festive days, have fun and get time to rest with your loved ones!!Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-2709573772938599952017-09-27T10:30:00.000+02:002017-09-27T10:30:08.573+02:00Feeling nature<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Something <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">slightly</span> different, but that comes from an old sketch I drew in my little sketchbook. I wanted to color it for years (yeah, YEARS XD).<br /><br />
A little busy these days trying to prepare... things which I will <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">announce</span> soon. Lets cross fingers so everything will turn out right in the end. Also getting things ready for a soon to be <span class="sac" id="spans0e3">celebrated art market</span> in my city.<br />

Last year, I made this drawing of two unicorns in love for a friends' <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">wedding</span>. With <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">it, I</span>
ordered a stand as a present. This lovely couple love unicorns and
music too, so I added musical notes to the base. It was really fun to
design and to color, and to know it was part of their <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">wedding</span> made me the happiest girl in the world:<br /><br />Happy one year <span class="sac" id="spans0e3">anniversary</span>!! (I am just two or three days late... sorry ><)<br /><br />After a <span class="sac" id="spans0e4">needed</span> break <span class="sac" id="spans0e5">from</span> <span class="sac" id="spans0e6">the internet</span> and a short vacation here I am again (with a mild cold, nothing to worry about)!!

It's 21th in my country, so... Hello summer!! a little sailor birdy to say hello to this new season.<br />
<br />
Here in Spain (where I live at least, in the south) summer is being a hell for sure. There is no way to survive to it. It's terrible and frustrating... specially when you know summer actually starts today... Will the future be even worse???<br />
<br />
Really, take care of yourself during summer. Enjoy it carefully and have fun!!Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-83864219710678750472017-05-31T10:32:00.000+02:002017-05-31T10:32:04.731+02:00Maiko<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After a few weeks absent in general from social media I had to post
something new (also to show I keep breathing... under this hot weather)<br /><br />One of the things I love, for some years now, is learning about Japan's <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">maiko</span> and <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">geisha</span> culture. It can be with books, with the internet...<br /><br />This is a personal interpretation of <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">maiko</span> (geisha apprentice) Satsuki (now a geiko/geisha, she is #1 in Kyoto), based <span class="sac" id="spans0e3">on</span> some photos I found around <span class="sac" id="spans0e4">the internet</span> of her during <span class="sac" id="spans0e5">the hatsuyori celebration</span> in 2014. She is my favourite geiko, and I loved this kimono she wore back then. Couldn't stop myself, I had to draw her!!<br /><br />I know her kimono is not exact to the original, but I had to interpret some parts, <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">especially</span> with her kimono design and obi (sash), but I did my best and I drew everything with respect <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">to</span> this <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">culture</span> and to her. Sorry in case of mistakes!!<br /><br />Hope you are having a nice time and enjoy what you love to do.

I really don't know what took me this long to post this illustration before. It's been in my computer for a long time, but... better late than never, right?<br />
<br />
Really busy these days, but again, I am alive ;). I will try these days to post illustrations I did as commisions or that I totally forgot to show before. Little by little.<br />
<br />
Hope you are having fun and a nice start of April, an important month for me!!Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-42478717128952066462017-03-21T08:52:00.000+01:002017-03-21T08:52:00.884+01:00Flowery cat<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Spring is here!! Or almost here, depending on where you live. If you are not allergic, congratulations, enjoy your time. For the rest I am deeply sorry :(<br />
<br />
To celebrate spring, here is a little cat with a flower crown. This illustration was made as a pair with <a href="http://carmengomeznog.blogspot.com.es/2017/02/flowery-dog.html" target="_blank">this one</a>, just that the other one is a dog and with colder colors. To do both of them more or less at the same time was fun!!<br />
<br />
Hope you have a nice start of the new season. Full of energy!!Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-62888548615350707282017-03-15T09:20:00.000+01:002017-03-15T13:26:18.102+01:00Window and plants<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I drew this watercolor of a window with plants a while ago (I wish I could keep plants alive like that... <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">sadly</span> not my thing!!). Spring is almost here!!<br />
<br />
I am alive, just busy, and even if I don't post too much lately, I keep an eye <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">on</span> them, I promise.<br />
<br />
By the <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">way, last</span> <span class="sac" id="spans0e3">Saturday</span> I participated with a friend in an art market here in my city and it was fun!! I loved to talk to <span class="sac" id="spans0e4">foreigners</span> either in <span class="sac" id="spans0e5">English</span> or <span class="sac" id="spans0e6">French</span> (my french is too oxidated, I need to practice it more!!) I was dead by the end of the day, but that's not a bad thing :). Thank you to thse who passed by!!<br />
<br />

<br />Feeling a little down these days, so I drew this fast illustration yesterday to cheer me up!<br /><br />I
need to take some days off to clear my mind and go back to my old self
with more energy. I'm sure I will get it, step by step. For now. I plan
on doing <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">whatever</span> I <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">want, the</span> way I prefer. Just for a few days is OK (and maybe not a bad thing, I'm <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">drawing</span> more right now, for myself :)!!).<br /><br />Hope you have a nice day and take care!!!<br />Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-43267912339111366482017-02-14T09:09:00.000+01:002017-02-14T09:09:06.968+01:00I lv you<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Watercolor I made last year of a plant. Really <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">obsessed</span> with nature and plants back then.<br />
<br />
One
of the things I wanted to do for this year was to draw with more
traditional techniques, so these days I'm using watercolors a lot.
Expect some illustrations with watercolors in the next weeks. I'm trying
to practice with the newer ones I could get last year. Now I really
want to get new paper, as I'm getting more used to <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">color, but</span> I have not as much experience with paper as I would like. Any <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">recommendations</span>?<br />
<br />
Hope you are having a great day.

At the end of 2016, I (among the other senior winners from <a href="http://carmengomeznog.blogspot.com.es/2016/11/lake-of-secrets.html" target="_blank">Trampa Fanzine</a>) got a call from a <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">university</span> newspaper to do an illustration for them about Cordoba's youth. Here is the Illustration I drew with that theme, and you can watch the rest <a href="http://www.aulamagna.com.es/cordoba-ilustradores-fanzine-trampa/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Young people, and maybe not so young ;), love to go out and to take a drink with some tapas and spending a while just talking with a friend about anything. <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">The weather</span> here is really sunny (by the way, the sun I drew has the <span class="sac" id="spans0e3">typical</span> colors of Cordoba's Mezquita Catedral), in general, so bars with terraces are really loved to stop by to chat.<br />
<br />
The words you can see above them, are some of the words typically used in this city, so if you are not from Cordoba maybe you don't know what they really mean, but it's not important, so don't worry!<br />
<br />
Somthing a little different from what I usually do, but it was fun!<br />
<br />
Hope the start of the year is starting the best way possible. In my case I have not much time, but I'm fine. See ou and let's keep going with energy!!Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-85414335805138922912016-12-30T13:25:00.000+01:002016-12-30T13:25:01.833+01:00Happy 2017<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />Couldn't make a new illustration for the holidays until now, and I also
wanted to wish you a happy New Year 2017 with it. I wanted to draw a
different element in every number, but <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">all</span> of <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">them</span> together create a story I will leave to your own <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">interpretation</span> ;).<br /><br />Hope this year will be a great year for you, with lots of happiness and success, both <span class="sac" id="spans0e3">professionally</span> and personally. With good energy all around you and your loved ones.<br /><br />See you next year!!Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-33917174222968839822016-11-23T09:36:00.000+01:002016-11-23T09:36:01.057+01:00Lake of secrets <br />

Te-beo en la calle finished last Sunday. Artist alley went great. Also the live drawing session.<br />
<br />
One of the surprises of those days is that last Friday I discovered I won the contest of Trampa fanzine, in the category I participated, senior illustration. I really didn't expect it!! but it also made my day... Even if it still looks like a dream.<br />
<br />
The illustration you can see above, is the one I sent to participate. A mermaid in a lake? I wanted people to get a story, their own version, out of this illustration :)<br />
<br />
Also, here is a photo, thanks to Alberto Bueno, of the moment right after I got the diploma:<br />

<br />
If you are in Córdoba (Spain) you could get the fanzine for free, with my illustration on it, among the rest of participants.<br />
<br />
It's all for today.

<br />It's Halloween time!! Have fun those who celebrate it, in any way you dedicate this day (Dia de Todos los Santos in Spain).<br /><br />Sadly, this year I couldn't do a specific illstration f or today, so I decided to post this old illustration of which, a while ago, I drew it's original background. You can find this same illustration, just with the girl alone <a href="http://carmengomeznog.blogspot.com.es/2016/01/witch.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />Hope you have fun.

There is only one thing this little mouse loves next to read books... eating cheese!. And if he can do both at same time... everything around he becomes really messy.<br />
<br />
I had this illustration done for a while and it was time to post it already.<br />
<br />
Also, it was a great excuse to draw two things I love. Animals and books :)<br />
<br />
I wish I had time to get lost in books, to learn new things from them. And it scares me a little I won't be able to learn because there is never enough time.<br />
<br />
Do you have time, if so let me know where it lives!!Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-29862653706592272312016-09-28T23:16:00.002+02:002016-09-28T23:16:44.744+02:00Love comes<br />

after the last Art Market finished, I keep being busy. I had no time at

which I wanted to <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">meet</span> for a long time... Busy days with, but with lots of love for sure ;)!!<br /><br />Hope you had a great week and that you had fun!

I can finally show you the <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">illustration</span> I <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">did for an online fanzine called</span> The Little Prince Zine, organized by <a href="http://jillydre.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Jilian Andre</a>. The final <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">zine</span> will be posted <span class="sac" id="spans0e3">officially</span> during this month <a href="http://thelittleprincezine.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, but we already got <span class="sac" id="spans0e4">permission</span> to post our illustrations online. You can <span class="sac" id="spans0e5">check</span> the rest of the illustrators who took part in it with hashtag<span style="background-color: yellow; text-decoration: none;"></span> #thelittleprincezine (for Twitter and Tumblr specially). Thanks to Jilian for organizing this zine and to let me take part in it.</div>
<br />
About my illustration, we could do any illustration we liked about The Little Prince book, and in my case, I chose to illustrate my own version of chapter 12: the one about the tippler. Surely not the most famous chapter, but one that called my attention since the first time I read this book.<br />
<br />
It tells us Little Prince' short visit to a planet where a tippler lives, lost in his drinking and ashamed of his actions, but incapable to stop doing so.<br />
<br />
I wanted to do my own interpretation of this chapter. Of course, this man doesn't live in a big bottle in the book, but I wanted to show with it his addiction, and how lost he is, so much he's unable to see the house outside, with a light on!. I wanted people to think that maybe there was someone waiting for him, but he 's unable to get out "of his bottle" and embarrassment. Little Prince can't reach ("to swim") to him, this man won't listen to him, and he needs to go to the next planet. Just the man can go out. Will he be able? There are better things for him out there...<br />
<br />
I think this chapter needs to be more famous, even if it can look
random and really short, there's a lot of meanning behind it, and always
actual.<br />
<br />
I had fun planning this one. And if you noticed, I used the same character for the Little Prince as in <a href="http://carmengomeznog.blogspot.com.es/2015/04/the-little-prince-and-snake.html" target="_blank">this illustration</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
I will let you know once this fanzine is up for everyone to check. Hope you had a nice start of classes, or back to work. See you for now!

Daisy girl and a little fella.<br />
<br />
It's been a while since last time I posted something new here. I already told about it in my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CarmenNogalesIllustration" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, but I'm taking this month as "vacation" time (not really, as I'm still at home and drawing as much as possible), till I get my computer problems around.<br />
<br />
I actually felt bad not posting anything during so many days, so here is
something a little different and fast to say that yeah, that I'm alive,
and actually drawing even more than usual.<br />
<br />
Either way, I really hope this little girl will cheer you up. Have a nice day and enjoy the rest of summer.Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-34762808792672751282016-07-12T09:28:00.000+02:002016-09-10T21:36:21.709+02:00Safe bath<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Finally a summer related illustration!! Someone is ready for a bath... Better safe than sorry!<br />
<br />
Sadly,
this summer I won't have "holidays" exactly. I won't go to the beach,
or any similar place. I will try to draw as much as possible during this
summer, even if this hot weather is killing me!. Where I live is one of
the hottest places to be in Spain!! It really kills my <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">productivity</span>... am I the only <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">one</span> affected? :(<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy your summer time!! Take care of yourself during this heat can be oppressive, and bad for <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">yourself</span>.Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-1029031061198827322016-06-27T21:41:00.000+02:002016-06-27T21:41:28.453+02:00About Ilustraton<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />It's been a while since last time I posted a new illustration. I'm
actually a bit more active in my Facebook and at Twitter, actually.<br /><br />Last Saturday 25th I had a talk in my <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">city in</span> an illustration event called <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">Ilustraton</span> about the <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">process</span> from sketch to the final digital <span class="sac" id="spans0e3">illustration</span>. I <span class="sac" id="spans0e4">also</span> drew <span class="sac" id="spans0e5">there</span> live, digitally, for the <span class="sac" id="spans0e6">first</span>
time. Must confess at first I was really nervous, but then it turned
out just fine! I was really scared people would get bored, but it looks
like <span class="sac" id="spans0e7">people</span> enjoyed it, and even some of them learnt some new tricks for Photoshop. I <span class="sac" id="spans0e8">couldn't</span> feel happier!! ;). <br /><br />I really want to <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">thanks</span> CoSfera and those who <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">organized</span> it (for the first time!), Alberto Bueno and Victor Parra for the <span class="sac" id="spans0e2">opportunity</span> and to have faith in me. Thank you very for your patience <span class="sac" id="spans0e3">too</span> :)<br /><br />This illustration is the one I showed (and drew a little) there, with its process <span class="sac" id="spans0e0">from</span> sketch to the final version.<br /><br />Again, thanks to the organization ant to those who attended it, being as busy as you <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">were</span> at Ilustration.Carmen Nogaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02428284864429502382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898541411886652052.post-64456821957033489072016-05-16T02:02:00.000+02:002016-05-16T02:02:52.517+02:00May<br />

May is a really important month in my city, Cordoba. Almost all of it is festive: The month of flowers, of patios, of cruces (crosses) decorated with flower, with lots of food and people in the streets... At the end of it is our Feria (festival) too. It's a really busy month for sure, with really colorful and great for people to visit.<br /><br />I decided to draw this illustration to celebrate it. A girl wearing a flamenco dress :)<br /><br /><span class="sac" id="spans0e0">Especially</span> at the end of this month, it's usual to see people wearing our traditional clothes (we don't wear these clothes <span class="sac" id="spans0e1">every day</span>, and also, I'm talking about my city. Every region of Spain has its own traditional clothes.)<br /><br />There's still half of the month left to enjoy, even if for me it's being like a usual one, but it's not a bad thing, I's working on some new illustrations.<br /><br />Hope you have a nice day.</div>
