Rabbits in the scene

Hello!   Hello!

How are you all??!!

Me, I am very excited, in Mexico having fun with family and friends!

This image was made for my BF's niece for her anniversary. She loves rabbits and purple (like me!) so I thought of doing something fun for her and it was very fun for me too!!!

Hope you are having great weekend plans!!

Outside My Box

It's been a while that I wanted to do a drawing for this phrase. 

I got the inspiration  while looking at Patrick Demarchelier photographs.

"Think out side the box"...I know, i know... it's not the first time we hear the phrase.... dare to do things in a way you don't know,  have new experiences outside our comfort zone,  make things differently to have different results....bla bla bla right? But!!... the hard part comes when you are trying to think outside your box and you only come with the same solutions you've always have!

So what's the key? 

Your friends!!!!!   Surround yourself of wise people... they will always have a different point of view... just try it!

Just for fun

 

My yoga teacher the other day was telling us how we should be less serious about our practice  and have more fun doing it... and the same should happen with life... 

So I drew this just for the fun of it. 

When we finally start to relax, stop wanting perfection and really have fun doing it... magic happens!

Try it.... just for the fun of it!!

First Video

So... 

I have a link for you all...

Do you remember about the project I told you about Photoshop? and practicing with a book that took forever to arrive bla bla bla....

Well the video is finally done and ready!!!

It is for a pawn/hock shop in Mexico, that is creating a new concept for loans to impecunious people in a more fair way than the rest of pawnshops. 

 

I really liked the way they put it together.

It was a pleasure collaborating with you JP.

Just click here to watch it

Hope you are enjoying your week so far...! =)

Already here

So already installed in the studio... I am really loving it, the lighting is perfect, the view, the space the feeling... !!!

I still need to buy the camera for the pics I promised!!! ;)

This is the first illustration I painted here. It's inspired in a picture I found of Sasha Pivovarova, I love the expression, like a naive look and yet a touch of sensuality...

Hope you like it too!

In the office...

This drawing is very special.

I made it for the office of a friend. She is directing a very nice and successful spa in the upper east side, Exhale, and thought she might like some company for her walls... ;) if you want to check their website just click here.

She really liked the movie AVATAR, I have another friend who says that she even runs like one of them, you know like very lightly and super fast!!! So this girl has special "avatar eyes". 

I hope you like it as I do!!!!

And guess what?? I also got a new artist studio!!! Yes yes yes!!! No more  storing things behind the bed or making a mess in the kitchen =)

I am officially decorating it now after a whole fieldtrip to Ikea with the help of my friends.... It would have been so hard with out them!! Thank you!!!

And then I'll post some photos when its ready.

Happy weekend!

And for the final try...

One day I was trying to get a very specific effect done in a illustration.

I painted the same image over and over again.... I was getting so frustrated because it just didn't seem to come out good!!! At all!!!

And finally I relaxed. I said, Ok it doesn't matter I am  going to do it one more time just for fun... and look what I got!!!!

I loved it!!!! I didn't just drew this one that I loved also a huge smile in my face...

"Practice is not something that we do when we are good, practice is the thing that make us good...!"

It feels so long!!

I know, it's been like forever since my last post.

I've been working in a very interesting project. A friend wants me to illustrate an advertisement campaign for TV commercial with my illustrations!!!! It's a little different to what I' used to do because there have to be several illustration to create the animation and movement and they all have to be very accurate....So They have to be done by computer and I have to confess I know very little about it... so I bought a book online, and thought that was the solution to the problem, but.......... it didn't arrived until today!! I was a little desperate and struggling with photoshop. But we all know that the more we practice the better we become.

I'm missing my water colors and real brushes though!!! I did this illustration a couple of weeks ago and really had fun painting it. It is inspired in H&M summer campaign and I loved the image...

Hope you are having a great week so far!

Inspiring hair

I have a very dear friend, he is a a super talented hairstylist. So I drew specially for him  a girl with some inspiring hair as a gift for his new salon. I enjoyed very much while doing it, and so far is the illustration I like the most... And guess what? He put it in his website!!!

I am so flattered!!!  he even mentioned me there and put a link to my website

Thank you very much Cedric!

And great weekend for the rest of youuuu.

Special b.day

I made a little quick experiment today...  

I did this drawing about two weeks ago in pencil at work, wich by the way got  me in a little trouble with my boss!!! Of course!!! I mean drawing while working!!! I was very sorry. 

Any way I finished it by putting some color digitally. It's the first time I colored and illustration with Photoshop,  I prefere working with real paint and brushes... but I like how it turned out, plus, I didn't have to clean my regular mess when painting!! So check out  before and after...

It is also a very special day to me. 

It is one of the person's I love the most birthday!!!

My mother used to tell me that birthdays were very important to each of us because it is OUR OWN new year. The ending of cycle and the begining of another one and that we should spend and celebrate it the way we wanted to live the rest of the year...=)

Feliz cumpleanos guapo!!!!!
