Book lover

I am a little busy these days, but aware I need to update my blog little by little.

Right now I am a little more active either in my instagram or Twitter. Go take a look!

Lately I am reading a lot so I had to make this illustration

Hope you like it!!

Happy Holidays

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 :)

This girl is a design I made a while ago with some little changes. It was fun!

Hope you enjoy these festive days, have fun and get time to rest with your loved ones!!

Feeling nature

Something slightly different, but that comes from an old sketch I drew in my little sketchbook. I wanted to color it for years (yeah, YEARS XD).

A little busy these days trying to prepare... things which I will announce soon. Lets cross fingers so everything will turn out right in the end. Also getting things ready for a soon to be celebrated art market in my city.

Hope you are having a great week. See you!!

Unicorns in love

Last year, I made this drawing of two unicorns in love for a friends' wedding. With it, I 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 wedding made me the happiest girl in the world:

Happy one year anniversary!! (I am just two or three days late... sorry ><)

After a needed break from the internet and a short vacation here I am again (with a mild cold, nothing to worry about)!! Be happy and lots of love for you!!

Sailor

It's 21th in my country, so... Hello summer!! a little sailor birdy to say hello to this new season.

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???

Really, take care of yourself during summer. Enjoy it carefully and have fun!!

Maiko

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)

One of the things I love, for some years now, is learning about Japan's maiko and geisha culture. It can be with books, with the internet...

This is a personal interpretation of maiko (geisha apprentice) Satsuki (now a geiko/geisha, she is #1 in Kyoto), based on some photos I found around the internet of her during the hatsuyori celebration 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!!

I know her kimono is not exact to the original, but I had to interpret some parts, especially with her kimono design and obi (sash), but I did my best and I drew everything with respect to this culture and to her. Sorry in case of mistakes!!

Hope you are having a nice time and enjoy what you love to do. See you soon!!

Barefoot

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?

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.

Hope you are having fun and a nice start of April, an important month for me!!

Flowery cat

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 :(

To celebrate spring, here is a little cat with a flower crown. This illustration was made as a pair with this one, 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!!

Hope you have a nice start of the new season. Full of energy!!

Stars and moon

Feeling a little down these days, so I drew this fast illustration yesterday to cheer me up!

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 whatever I want, the way I prefer. Just for a few days is OK (and maybe not a bad thing, I'm drawing more right now, for myself :)!!).

Hope you have a nice day and take care!!!

I lv you

This is the week os love, or so they say.

Busy these days, but at least I go to do something for today!! A little panda playing with wooden blocks to say "I love you" to someone...

Also it's my way to say thank you for being there! See you!!

Flowery dog

Illustration of a husky with a flower crown.

Winter is here, but spring looks closer every day... feeling like lately time flies!! Way too fast.

A little busy Lately but alive. I need to finish a few things before going back to normal!! But I hope you are having a great time Lately.  See you soon!

Cordoba

At the end of 2016, I (among the other senior winners from Trampa Fanzine) got a call from a university 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 here.

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.  The weather here is really sunny (by the way, the sun I drew has the typical colors of Cordoba's Mezquita Catedral), in general, so bars with terraces are really loved to stop by to chat.

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!

Somthing a little different from what I usually do, but it was fun!

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!!

Happy 2017

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 all of them together create a story I will leave to your own interpretation ;).

Hope this year will be a great year for you, with lots of happiness and success, both professionally and personally. With good energy all around you and your loved ones.

See you next year!!

Lake of secrets

Te-beo en la calle finished last Sunday. Artist alley went great. Also the live drawing session.

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.

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 :)

Also, here is a photo, thanks to Alberto Bueno, of the moment right after I got the diploma:

If you are in Córdoba (Spain) you could get the fanzine for free, with my illustration on it, among the rest of participants.

It's all for today. Have a nice day!!

Witch and books

It's Halloween time!! Have fun those who celebrate it, in any way you dedicate this day (Dia de Todos los Santos in Spain).

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 here.

Hope you have fun. See you soon!!

Cheese & Books

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.

I had this illustration done for a while and it was time to post it already.

Also, it was a great excuse to draw two things I love. Animals and books :)

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.

Do you have time, if so let me know where it lives!!

Love comes

And sizes, and colors, it doesn't matter!!

Even after the last Art Market finished, I keep being busy. I had no time at all, but I did many different things and I met a lot of people, some of which I wanted to meet for a long time... Busy days with, but with lots of love for sure ;)!!

Hope you had a great week and that you had fun! More to come soon! I need to organize many things >

The Little Prince Zine

I can finally show you the illustration I did for an online fanzine called The Little Prince Zine, organized by Jilian Andre. The final zine will be posted officially during this month here, but we already got permission to post our illustrations online. You can check the rest of the illustrators who took part in it with hashtag #thelittleprincezine (for Twitter and Tumblr specially). Thanks to Jilian for organizing this zine and to let me take part in it.

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.

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.

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...

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.

I had fun planning this one. And if you noticed, I used the same character for the Little Prince as in this illustration.


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! (now back to work, next week will be busy for sure!)

Daisy Girl

Daisy girl and a little fella.

It's been a while since last time I posted something new here. I already told about it in my Facebook, 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.

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.

Either way, I really hope this little girl will cheer you up. Have a nice day and enjoy the rest of summer.

Safe bath

Finally a summer related illustration!! Someone is ready for a bath... Better safe than sorry!

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 productivity... am I the only one affected? :(

Hope you enjoy your summer time!! Take care of yourself during this heat can be oppressive, and bad for yourself.
