IF: Frozen


Justita pero esta semana también participo en Illustration Friday. El tema de esta semana es Frozen (Congelado). ¡Este niño aunque esté congelado no perdona su helado! Esta vez, he querido probar un sombreado más realista y he de decir que me ha gustado mucho realizar esta pieza. La próxima vez probaré  una iluminación más dificil! El cucurucho deja algo que desear pero así se queda. Coloreado: 4-5 horas

This week Illustration Friday's topic is Frozen. I thought I could not get this one done on time, but I made it! This little kid could be frozen but he won't say no to ice-cream time! I wanted to experiment with a more realistic rendering, and I liked doing it. I am not satisfied with the ice-cream, but it's time to say "done". I'll try something more difficult next time! Color rendering: 4-5 hours.

Illustration Friday: Germs


This is the first time I participate on Illustration Friday challenge. This week...Germs! I thought of germs in a funny way, working together to take over the world! Like football takes over our loved ones on winter Sundays!

I made this very quickly, I would like to go over it and work out some details, but tomorrow is Friday, and I want to go to bed. So, I might do so over the weekend...or never... haha

Es la primera vez que participo en Illustration Friday, el tema de esta semana es ¡Gérmenes! Cuando me puse a pensar, los gérmenes me vinieron a la cabeza como un grupo aliado capaz de conquistar el mundo, asi que una reunión en círculo de un equipo de fútbol americano me pareció perfecto para ilustrar mi idea.

He pintado esta ilustración muy deprisa, asique me gustaría volver a ella más tranquilamente. Quizá no pula la ilustracion nunca. Mañana es viernes y quería llegar a tiempo a participar. Ahora me voy a la cama que mañana hay que madrugar.

Captain Nutmeg and the Seven Seas




¡Capitán Nuez Moscada a su servicio!
Siempre encantado de surcar los siete mares en busca de sus sueños!

Este es otro de los dibujos hechos a partir de un dibujo antiguo infantil...que por cierto, no se parece en nada al original! Probablemente tendría 10 años cuando dibujé a mi capitán Pescanova particular. Como ya dije en mi Deviant Art post, he sido ispirada por el blog CHICKEN NUGGET LEMON TOOTY. Un aplauso para ellos.

Captain Nutmeg at your command!
Always happy to sail the seven seas to find your dreams!

This is another "remade" drawing. I think i was around 10 years old when I drew the original. I remember it was going to be a "table cloth" (that is why it has those yellow lines) but i ran out of yellow marker and it became an abstract kind of thing.
I was inspired by the kids of CHICKEN NUGGET LEMON TOOTY.

Flying Kiddos!




Lately, I feel like painting flying stuff. I might need to fly myself. I wish it could be as easy as blowing some bubbles!


I wanted to work more with pastel textures, the coloring process got really close to a real coloring with actual pastels. It was a lot of fun. I did color the characters in the same layer (shadows and lights) and it was challenging at first (i usually split main color, shadows and highlights in different layers), but its more natural to do it this way. You don't have to deal with painting in the wrong layer or searching into tons of layer to erase that small error.
