More little illus

Some more examples from this project, hope you'll like them.

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.

 

Now.. Pen, Ink and brush...

So I'm trying to do different kinds of illustrations.. I'm trying on a more fluid style, based on impulsive lineflow, made with digital pen, ink and brush... here, the first example of it.

Continuing with the coloring part..-

I colored a drawing which I like because, there are three girls on it, not just one, in a sort of weird composition, so different from my usual illustrations.

But when I started to put in colors, I just couldn't decide which of two versions is the best.

Finally, I've decided for the version with less colors.

Coloring lineart (scraps)

I'm trying to achieve different coloring "schemes" than the usual.. so here the scrap drawing I once did.. maybe I will color it totally different as well, just to see the result..

Illustration of two friends

This is the first illu of two characters I've recently made, so I'm pretty happy with the outcome!

First commission of a portrait!

So.. The commissioner did not like the first version of the portrait.. I liked it, only I saw it was a little stiff, but the second version turned out to be much better.. at least it's very similar to the real girl.. so, here it is..

New portrait!

I just finished this new illustration yesterday, a portrait of my friend Nati... so I'm sketching more portraits of my friends, they all want one now!

New inspiration!

In these last weeks I really felt inspired, so I was drawing a lot, and I'm beginning with the coloring part!

Here my selfportrait, done with the tablet. ^ _ ^

Period of new experiments

I know it's been a really long time since I don't post anything, but it's not because I haven't done anything. It's just I'm tying out different styles and compositions and I'm not sure enough wether to post them or not, there are just tries...
I'm getting in touch with very different influences of new illustrators I'm getting to know through MySpace... all that stimulates my imagination and maybe in a while I will get my inspiration to get some wings...
So let's see... :), here a little scrap doodle for an example illustration for our class, probably it will be colored with the tablet.

..more ink and color!

Definitely this technique is something I like! :) So, here another doodle.. black and white and with some flat colors. Colors done with Pantone markers retouched a little with Photoshop CS.

More pen and ink...

This weekend, at the EAH, Enrique Alcatena a really outstanding comic artist from my country, came to talk to the students... It was really amazing to hear the words from somebody so experienced in this area, he's a real master of his technique... one of the greatest argentinian comic illustrators of the last decades.. So, I'm honored to say I saw him, heard his words, and then even came to exchange some words with him! yeah... it was so cool!!!

And the day before I had the idea to make a flyer inspired in that visit to my school, and, well here it is... I think I begin to love ink... ;) and of course... Alcatena's work!!!
