Special trunk

Books are the best thing in the world!! I want to stack them up and to see how high I can get with them!. All those, one over other, are the trunk of my life, of myself, so I can't let any of them fall ;)!!

Really, books are great. I found some forgotten books of when I was a child (maybe that's why I drew this little girl again for this illustration). I know I have more lost in my house, once I found a few more, maybe I will create a post about some of these (they are my background after all), who knows... ;). Even now, I still like some of them, other left me feeling like... really?. It's fun to know how much I changed over all these years, and at the same time, I'm still the same in some way.

Now back to work!! too many things to do, so... See you tomorrow!!

Portrait

Some days ago I was playing with my pencil colors and testing them in coloured paper. That's how this little illustration was born :).

I want to try new things with them, and to play with different styles and techniques, it's just a little test, but once I finish a work I have pending, I will go back to them. I have many ideas I would like to try with my dear pencil colors again!! They make me feel like a little kid!!

Anyway, eager to learn and busy days. See you and here we go!!

Handmade magic

This little girl wants to be a magic fairy herself. So she made her own wings and wand with newspapers. If you want to be something, just do it. You can be wherever you want to be.

This illustration has been lost in my computer for a few months, it was time to post it here already!!. Something a little different from what I'm doing and showing lately, but I just wanted to try something different, for fun ;)

Things keep going and I'm drawing a little more lately, still busy, but I'm fine, and that's what matters :). Many things to do, but I can do it!!

Anyway, have fun and see you tomorrow!!

Glance

These last days are being busy and stressful for different reasons. I'm not getting too much time to draw, but the little time I get for myself, I try to keep on working on future illustrations to show here, if even for a little while. Some of these days, sketches as the one I'm showing today are born, so there's something good at least ;)

I really hope next week to be a better one, with less problems that are out of my control (not all at once, please).

Anyway, hope you have a nice weekend and start the week, of course!! Have fun :)!!

One Way

Here is the illustration I told you I made for Leyre Valiente's exhibition in the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas in Madrid. This exhibition is called "Mujeres Valientes" and it will be there till May 17th.

There you won't only see my work, but also the illustrations of other 24 talented (and brave) illustrators who take part in it. What do we do there? Each one of us interprets one of Leyre's dresses in an illustration. There're many different styles in this exhibition which is really interesting. But not only this, you will also see some of her beautiful dresses in love. So I really recommend you to go there and to take a look. You won't regret it!! ;)

In my case, I was told to draw this coat for her collection called Malleus Maleficarium, which dresses tell you the story of a woman announced to be a witch.  A really mysterious and magical collection. To understand better this story, take a look at this video filmed during one of her fashion shows.

Here is a photo of the coat I got from her web (on the back there's the same bird stamp):

But it was my interpretation of this coat, I leave it up to you what you think I wanted to say with it. Get your own interpretation! :)

Also, here is the poster of the exhibition with the name of all the illustrators:

Nothing else for today!! I just want to say thanks to Leyre Valiente for the opportunity. I had a lot of fun drawing and planning it ;)

See you!

Full sail

After a few relaxed days here I'm again!! with many illustrations to show you little by little.

These days many people is been travelling (not my case, but sure those were busy days anyway), so I made this illustration from my umbrella series with a "travel theme" this time ;). You can find more of these illustrations here, here, and here.

About myself, as I told you, I was drawing, and quite off from internet in general, which actually helped me to get away and to clear a little my ideas, It's been good for me for sure, as now I have more energy to keep going (and to keep learning of course!!) doing what I love. Come with me through this travel of mine ;).

Anyway, have fun and see you tomorrow!!!
