Coloring...

Penciling, inking, coloring, that's the summary of my days now.
Vignettes and more little illus.

More and moree...

Here some more linework and the first color piece for the inside of the book. :)

Yeah, this week is being reaaally exausting, but I think I'm happy so far, at least I can't complain that I'm workless..hehehe...

More lines for the schoolbook

These are a few lines for the inside of the schoolbook. I had to make some changes in some of them, and the world, well, they told me I have to do it all over again, they did not like the "arrangement" of the continents, that said, they wanted a traditional view of the world (with Northamerica and Europe included).. I was so happy to do something different from usual!

I think I will add some changes to the illu of the museum, maybe bolden up the outher line and adding some textures, because I feel it is a bit "empty".

Characters for the schoolbook..

So this is the character sheet I have made for the three characters that will be appearing inside the book. Their names are intrascendent, because they won't have any in the book, I was just fooling around, hehe!

Finished the schoolbook cover

I'm happy, because I finally met ends with the composition, or better, with the details of some of the characters of this cover. After some samples, it seems to be the definitive one. The background's white 'cause the publishing house has designed a background for it. (Blue and orange on the bottom).

Changing our minds...

Finally, we decided to change the illustration meant to be the gift for little Carla, because we thought that although beautiful, the image of the girl playing the violin was a bit sad.And as we want to give her hope we chose and old illu of mine for this purpose. (Sunflowers)
I changed and improved some minor details (fixed her wings, etc) and added a "frame", together with the tipography legend..

Little gift

This illustration begun as a project of personal promotional series. But, although I will continue with the series, this very first one is a gift dedicated to a little girl who is fighting bravely against cancer, her name is Carla. I pray to God that he will save her, because she's an example of bravery and strenght for us all.

New samples

This is a little sample (line and color) for a possible new commission. It will be for a schoolbook. I will post more as soon as it's confirmed!

Commissioned illustration

This is another commissioned illustration I have made for the Jaquish Dukelow Memorial Cancer Research guild.
They used the image for their logo.
The drawing is depicting a little girl that passed after a long battle against brain cancer, and a woman who lost her battle against breats cancer.
I first doubted to post details about this, but then I did, because all this really touched me deeply.
I'm happy and honored to have added my tiny grain of sand for this.

Finished my first four children books!

So, after really hard work but lots of fun and pleasure working, I have finally finished the first four little children books for CLASA/ LAtinbooks.
Hereby some more examples from the last two books.

Vacations are sooo over!!

So, after two weeks of "vacation" at the south of our beautiful country (where my tablet travelled to as well ;), I have to say it's cosy to be at home continuing with work. Hereby some more examples of the now finished two first little children books for CLASA

new illu and confirmation!

Finally! I got my first job!! Wish me luck!!! And here a little doodle before laying hands to work, weeeehh, I'm so excited!!

more coloring

Here I'm posting an old illustration which I colored today (with Illustrator and Painter).

And, some more new illus...

These are for a possibly turning out project for a publishing house.
It could be a very exciting possibility to be my very first job for a publishing house (four little books). I will post some more and the confirmation as soon as I can.

New period!

After many, many months of forced not- working (personal, health issues etc.) I am slowly beginning to work again. Here some older illustrations that I scanned after some looong time.

New portrait!

I just finished this double portrait of a friend (Caro Levitt,fellow illustrator as well, and very talented!) and her friend. The casualty wanted us to be all bearing the same name: Carolina! So, here it is: a double portrait of two Caro's by another Caro...

Little gift

This new portrait I have finished today is a little gift and tribute for my dear friend Eva. T
This is just a little way to thank her for being such an amazing friend, and to always nurture my soul and help me being a better person.

Commission for a drawing

This is my now second commission, this time for a simple line drawing of a mermaid. Here are the two versions I've made for Anthony Nguyen, a really nice guy from USA, who's himself an artist (makeup artist). He wanted his mermaid image based on an antique necklace of his owning, and with the face of one of my older illustrations (sitting princess).

Pen, ink, color & tipography

Here I'm posting two more illus, the second with tipography and the first one with a simple color scheme.
I'ts like I imagine a possible commission, the legend is just to justify the addition of the tipography.
