Daily Creation challenge #2-23


I really would like to be at the beach right now... it feels like it's going to snow in any minute here in Chicago. 

This is a quick rendering of a sketch I did last summer. I tried to make it look nice but no time to spare today. Making this piece reminded me of my summer themed oekakis. I miss those.

Daily Creation Challenge #4



Daily Creation Challenge #4

Lately I am pretty happy. I feel free!

As promised, today something more fun. Lately I have been triying to get back to my roots, to when I drew and painted just for fun, so I thought of making something mixing the lolita series I made in 2007 (http://fav.me/dtwelw) and my fascination for Alice in wonderland. I love drawing lolita... I wonder why I haven't done in so long! For being a drawing for the daily challenge I am pretty happy. I plan to color it and fix some drawing issues, but that will be tomorrow: not only Daily creation day but also Project Night with my boyfriend.

I wanna paint this one soon!

Creation challenge. Day 1. Creation #1

I have been really busy creating illustrations for a children's book with my friend Antonio Cartier. He wrote the story and I made the illustrations. I have to say that is was a heck a lot of work, but it was worth it. I ended up going on a bender for 36 hours, (secretly I am kind of proud that I could manage so many hours awake without crashing. It reminded me to college days!). The book was made for a contest, we hope to get a prize! we have turned the book in today, and we will find out in a month or less. I am really excited. I wish I could show something but the work has to be unpublished ever, so I will keep it secret for now.

The day that I finished I went to a live drawing session with a fellow illustrator and we had a blast. I hope to take a picture tomorrow to what I did. I would like to go next week, it was so relaxing and great. Definitely going again.

But what this post is about..... is about creating! I was so busy creating that book that now that I am done I feel I can do so much with my day that I have been doing so I decided that I am auto-enter in a auto imposed challenge.

The challenge is to create 1 thing a day and post it. very simple. The goal is to get a combo of 30 creations. If I miss one day, the count starts on 1 again.

ready? go!

This is #1 creation! a minidrawing of my original character Pi.

#1. Pi.
What have I created today?
 I have painted one sketch I made in 2007, retrace it, and painted it.

Bring it on Saturday!

Doodle 02


A fun doodle before going to bed.

Manga doodle with Sai

The summer is about to end! Not cool! xD

First time doodling with Paint tool sai... I have a lot to learn! But I like so far. It does remind me to Open canvas quite a bit.

I really felt like doing something veeeery manga. Easy and without meaning, just for fun, like I use to do when I was in High School, when illustration was a hobby and not my career. HA, Funny. I indeed enjoyed painting this piece.

Since I use to paint a lot of beach girls when I used to paint with Open canvas back in 2002.... It just seem appropriate!
