Daily Creation Challenge #6

 I did these tattoo designs for my very good friend Brittany. These are my interpretations of the Dwennimmen,  an african symbol of 2 ram's horns coming together. It a symbol of humility together with strength. The ram will fight fiercely against an adversary, but it also submits humbly to slaughter, emphasizing that even the strong need to be humble.

Enjoy!

Daily Creation Challenge #5

For day 5 I have created some acrylic textures for photoshop brushes :)

Something simple but necesary. I usually don't use textures on my Photoshop brushes but I want to try!

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!

Daily Creation Challenge #3

Day 3!!

I did this one while I was watching The walking dead... not really related to zombies. I used reference, but no tracing. Photoshop CS5. About an hour  or 2 ... with zombie distractions included!

Tomorrow something more fun.

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 I wish I could show something but the work has to be unpublished ever, so I will keep it secret for now.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!

Fashion doodle

I was doodling and suddenly got inspired by a friend's fashion show that she put together some time ago. I love the styling she chooses for her models! You can check out her Facebook page and give her a like! Envieux Style
