More covers

Here are three more covers for: Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Princess and the Pea.
I feel like they could be more worked on, but there's a time deadline, so, they will stay like this.

Fairytale books- part1

These are some pages from the first 3 books about fairytales to be published by CLASA.

Hereby: Cinderella, Snowwhite and The princess and the pea.

I had to use a different style for coloring as the first proposal for the work, so it's black line and flat color.

New commission

I'm working on the roughs for a new commission for CLASA that involves 16 little books about princesses.
Hereby one page that I did as sample for a possible way to color the books (Snow white).
They will finally be done with black line and simple cell shading, as the books are small and for small litlle girls between 4 and 5 years.

New illu colored.. daydreaming

I have finally colred this illustration that I had inked some months ago. Tools, markers.

New little books

I have been working on a new project that involved eight little books, about kids and their pets.
Here are some pages of the books :D

Commissions, commissions!

Yes!! I have been very busy lately, and after finishing the doll I started with some commissioned illustrations, which the client wants as only lineart. I will be coloring soon just for fun ^ _ *

Working on a self made bjd doll

I have been on vacation, and afterwards I laid hands on a long longed project: my selfsculpted bjd doll.
It was hard work, but finally here she is! I named her Mizuki after my favorite japanese doll artists: Miyuki Hirose and Hizuki. I made her dress too out of vintage pieces of velvet and lace.
I used the wonderful book "Ball jointed doll guide" from the great japanese doll artist Ryo Yoshida for working through the process. It's a great book full of images.
I'm thrilled because I discovered that sculpting makes me as happy as drawing and illustrating ^__ ^.

Background for a double page

I did this background for the fairie book, it will show a little girl sitting underneath the left tree and a fairie flying upon her.
So, the background and characters were aproved, and it finally came out like this (the redheaded fairie is a character by Gloria Saavedra which I had to take as reference by wish of the editor).

More color of the fairie drawings...

The three remaining vignettes of the fairies, I think they came out very colorful ^ ^

Fairies in color

Here the first two illus of the fairies in color, I will be posting more soon.

Third page preview

I just finished the third page and here you can see a sneak peek of it. I will post the entire image soon.

Sketches and art class

In the meantime of working on the fairy books that I have mentioned before, I enjoy a lot every saturday night when I go to my coloring class held by my talented teacher, Totino. I have to say, I'm learning a lot, which is proving to be very productive while working, even if nothing decent comes out every time I try to do something at class! Hereby a quick sketch I did half an hour before leaving to class... it's been ages since I don't draw by hand, and even more since I made drawings with full grades of shadings.. I will have to loose up my hand much more! ^ __ ^

Second page...

For the same book, I still have to work a lot on the coloring issue, I feel like handicapped, heheh, my strongness relies in the line I believe.. But, as I started a coloring class in the EAH with a very talented artist (Totino Tedesco) I hope to learn something from his amazing coloring skills that will help me improve the coloring quality of my works.

Confirmation and final first illu

Yayy!! So I will finally illustrate 5 double pages, together with other 3 illustrators, each featuring different mythological creatures (I will be doing fairies, elves, mermaids and muses). So, I'm very happy!!

New personal illu- traditional media

I've started a new illustration for my personal portfolio, but this time I've decided to go back to roots and make it by hand, as I haven't done anything without the tablet in almost the past two years! So, I'm pretty happy with the outcome so far, but I had to delay the coloring with markers, because I'm working on a possible commission, which could be the first time I had the chance to be published in my very personal, not child-like style,.. so, we'll see :)

The last..

This is the last little inside cover for this fairytale book that I have finished. So, I can relax a bit now that we are going on a little vacation trip, ! Yay!! I really long for some quiet, snowy days at my mom's...

One more little illu

This one's for the same book, they are inside covers for separate stories, now I have to do one remaining illu, in the same style.

Another little illu

This one is for the same book, I believe, and next week I will be working on two more random pages for it.

New little book

So, after some weird period of not working (illness etc), I have made a new little book commissionesd by Latinbooks.
