pencil drawing

This happens specially to me... I work on something over and over and when it's finally finished I put away in a drawer and forget about it

I did this pencil drawing over the summer... and totally forgot to post =)

About the illustration...

It is about sensuality. In my personal dictionary sensuality means to feel, feel and feel... feel who we are and expressing it to its fullest, to let out what we have on our inside, who we are, our motivations, feelings and thoughts... letting them free like flying birds... 

Hope you can come!

 

rain... chanel style

just for you ladies... and go get some spring nail polish!!

I am SO SORRY!!

I do have a good reason to be so absent the last weeks!!

Excited going on vacation, I packed some pencils, markers and inks  to paint some nice illustrations for you guys and my new-not-new-camera to also post some pictures...

Well guess what? I got stocked in JFK due to the blizzard the night before... the airport was chaos, flights canceled, air plains broken, tired staff, angry and deseparate customers...some people had been waiting for 72 hours!, sleeping on the floor or wherever they could (me included, couldn't help but falling sleep =))

Any way, after 16 hours of wait and another 7.5 of flight, when I finally landed the pilot announced that our baggage couldn't be loaded for technical reasons (what!!) WellI didn't get my bag until the last day... and on top of using the same outfit over and over I had no paper no pencils no images to work with... 

yes, I had my camera to at least post some pics, but guess where the battery charger was? In the bag!!

It was on the overall a very nice experience, I felt so light living on nothing but what I was wearing...

So back to NY with no new images to post and share with you,  yesterday I finally had time to finish a cute illustration and this morning I realised the scanner didn't send the file to my computer.... =(

So I decided to post an illustration I did last year around this time, it was one of my first ones and I like the way the coat's texture is almost tangible, so soft against the brightness of the jewelry...  and tomorrow the new illustration, promised!

4th time is a charm

I guess it was passion and stubbornness (and little pride I guess) that made me not let go and give up,  but to keep trying (4 times to be exact) until the illustration was something I was satisfied with... And at the end, it was worth the extra time and effort  'cause I love it!

I like the way pencil and illustration work together, there is a nostalgic gray feeling that flips with the intensity and life of watercolor.

I hope you like it too!!!

On a Vespa

So... One of my dearest and beloved friends is about to buy (or already bought) a Vespa!!!

I am very excited for him and all the fun he (and me, cause I am hopping to be riding with him sometime) is going to have with his new toy in the city.

Little motorcycles are not only exciting but also very useful in big cities, you avoid car traffic by squeezing between cars, you don't have to worry as much for parking and specially you will look absolutely cute on it.

So ever since I have been dreaming of this illustration, because maybe... maybe... one day I will be allowed to drive the Vespa too ;)

I really liked the "old grandma picture" look in the illustration.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend as I am!

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

And great weekend for the rest of youuuu.
