Tradition in Spain



It really is! to wear red underwear to receive the new year will bring you love and good luck! There're more, like eating 12 grapes with each peal of the cloth at 00:00, but I had no time to draw it... maybe later?.

In my country new year will be here soon, so it's my way to wish you a great new year 2015. It was a good year for me, relaxed, but that helped me to prove myself many things and to make sure about what matter.

Love what you have (and I'm not talking only about your possessions), and work hard for what you really want and wish, even if it takes some time. You can do it!! See you next year!! ;)

Almost there



Santa is always in a hurry (even if now he can rest a little till next year)

This Holiday is great to draw Christmas related works. I feel like a little kid again... So, even you are not a little kid anymore, try to have fun and enjoy it as when we were children.

New Year's Eve is almost here, so have fun!! What do you wish for the new year?

Happy Holidays!


 
This little cupcake reindeer want to wish you Happy Holidays!!

It's something I made for the art market where I recently participated, a little set of four stickers for this winter theme (as tags for presents, it's just the version without its text).

After the market I decided to take a little break (as I also got a strong cold too, I needed to recover). Just let me tell you everything went quite fine, better than expected, and that I'm very happy with how people reacted to everything on the table, and their opinion. I got my flu there (together with my sister who also participated), but it was deserved for sure. Thank you to everyone who went there ;)!

Here is just a photo of the table we were together, just before starting:

As you can there there're works I didn't post here, but I will show them soon, be patient. For now, I hope you have a nice holiday everyone!! See you!!

Just open a book


Something I wanted to try for a while with typography, just for fun.

These days I am being a little lost from here, but I have been working. I will be selling some merchandising and prints made by me with my illustrations (even new works not posted here at the moment), together with other artists (not only illustrators, but also photographers)!

The event will be celebrated in my old art school, Mateo Inurria (Córdoba, Spain), next week: Decemeber 16th and 17th, from 11:00 to 15:00. Don't hesitate to take a look at what people will be selling there!!

Once it's over I will go back to my old self, but now I'm trying to get everything done ;). Have fun and see you!

Splashing



A happy cup jumping :). Had he a good day?

One of the last illustrations of my cup series I have been working these days (for something I'm not even sure I will end up doing on time). Really, I hate being indecisive for some things, it makes me frustrated. That's why I decided to post this happy cup (not that I'm sad or something, not at all, I'm happy).

Oh well, lets see how it turns out at the end ;).

Have a nice day! I hope I can give you some news soon! See you!

Fast sketches

Finally, I decided to post some of those illustrations I left done for the live drawing session I attended.

As I said last week, I took with me some fast illustrations done the day before for people to take. All of these have now a new home! But I wanted to show you just a few of them here. These are done with pencil colors and ink, except for the last illustration of the little boy, which is done with water-based markers.

I don't think I will post more of these, at least not for a while. Have fun!! :)

Girl with long hair

Today I'm in a hurry, but at least I wanted to post something today as every week.

This time, it's a little test I made some weeks ago with water-based markers. I had a few of them in my power for a long time and I'm starting to get the hang of them little by little... I'm getting quite addicted! I like using them as watercolors, especially for sketches because of they are faster to use (and they dry fast, so it's always good when you are in a hurry. I think will keep using them for a while :).

Many things to do! Anyway, I will try to make a new post this week if I get some free time, also, I have pending to post some of the illustrations I made for the live drawing session I attended last week.

See you!

Live drawing session




This Sunday (16th November), as I told you last post, I was invited to participate in a live drawing session as part of an event called "Te-beo en la calle" celebrated in my city. Well, the day arrived and I had to draw whatever people wanted me to draw.

I was a little nervous at first, it makes me nervous to have people watching intently what I'm doing, but it was something I wanted to try and to test myself. At the end that nervousness went away and I was able to make it! I had a lot fun drawing among really talented artists (I loved the time we had drawing for each other!! :).

It was great to talk to those who came to you asking for a drawing (especially little kids, like the one on the photo who asked me for a princess). Here you have a photo my sister took of me while I was drawing one of these (from my Instagram). Surely I will edit this post later to add more:

This time I was asked for an Alice eating the magic mushroom. Here is a photo of its inking process.

A cat with a cloth hat.

But not everything will be photos in this post! I took there with me some fast illustrations I drew the day before with me. I thought that maybe it would take me a long time to finish just a few illustrations, so I let people in a hurry to take one of those with them. I'm glad I did it because sometimes there were too many people waiting!! Here you have two of them, I will post some of these maybe in my Twitter:

Two random illustrations done with ink and markers

All I can say is that it was a great experience, I'm glad I took part in it, as it was a new challenge for me for sure! People was really nice and I can't wait to meet again all those talented artists who participated. A great way to spend a Sunday! Sure thing I ended exausted, but it was deserved.

Hope you have fun!! Have a nice day!!

Calm journey


Not always is necessary a long (or fast) journey to live a great adventure, just be sure to get the company for it to make unforgettable memories!

Well, those days were a little busy, but I have been drawing all time I could manage, especially traditional illustrations,. I will show you here some of them soon :)

By the way, I will be drawing at a live drawing session celebrated in my city (Cordoba, Spain) this weekend of November 16th. It is part of a drawing event called "Te-beo en la calle". I won't be the only one there! there will more illustrators and artist invited. If you are in my city that day, you can go and see us drawing. For more information visit this web (in Spanish).

It's something new for me, but I will try my best that day!

Hope you have a nice day! See you!

In the night



This little owl is ready to enjoy the night :)

I had this illustration finished on my computer done for a few weeks, I couldn't wait to show it to you because it was really fun drawing and coloring it!

These next weeks will be quite busy for me, I will let you know soon (surely in my Twitter), but it has to do something with the fact that I participated as a judge in a drawing contest celebrated in my city.

It was a really exciting experience because it's the first time I was judge in a contest!. It was a little difficult at first, to decide, especially because of there were many different styles (I loved that fact a lot!) ... It was a great experience for sure, and I learnt a few new things thanks to this opportunity, which is always good. I'm really glad I could take part in it :)

More to come in the near future. Hope you have a nice day!!

Sweet Halloween



Surprise! A new illustration appeared in my blog!

At least in my country today is 31th, so, Happy Halloween to those who celebrate it!! I couldn't help myself to make a new illustrations inspired in Halloween, even if I made it really fast... I have no time at all :(.

This pumpkin cupcake wish you can get the best candies in this day, and to get your tummy full of sugar... just like him! But, be careful with your teeth.

Have a nice day and see you!

Tuesday 28 October 2014

Back to your home




I actually had this illustration done for a few months, I thought it was time to show it here already after so long! ;)

This week I have been busy, and a little lost. I got time for myself and I have been playing with some old materials (traditional technique) I left forgotten for a while. I can't wait to show some of these tests to you, I had a lot of fun, and it was a nice change, to go back to traditional techniques. Once in a while it's nice!

Anyway, I really would love to stop time... or to organize myself better, or not to get too excited with a few ideas at the same time... Oh well, nobody is perfect ;)

Hope you have a nice week!

Table fight



This boy is ready to fight against vegetables! No table manners, it's time to fight! That's what I want, some time to play carelessly and to have fun... but there're many things reminding me to keep working... ;)

It's one of the illustrations I've been playing with lately. I'm quite happy with these little tests (even if some of them turned out as finished works!) ! They changed my way to see or to create an illustration from zero, to play with my ideas... I want to keep experimenting with these and see where will they guide me, just like this little adventurer ;). It's time to keep growing and learning.

It's just one of the first tests. The rest will appear little my little, among the rest of my pending illustrations, here or in my Twitter, who knows.

For now, have fun and don't stress yourself too much!

My refuge


After some time, here is a new umbrella from my "umbrella series". An umbrella refuges you from rain, so it can be like a temporal "home", can't it be? More of them here, here, here and here.

Little by little I'm more comfortable with this little "refuge" I'm creating here... I think I'm growing thanks to it, at least that's what I see ;)

By the way, I noticed I got 300 likes in my Facebook Fan page! it was a surprise! I wrote there I wanted to do something as a "thank you". Do you have any idea? I would love to know what you think, and also, it doesn't have to be something only for FB, of course!!

Hope you have a nice day!  I have more ready to show you in the future, be patient!

Tuesday 7 October 2014

Autumn steps



After a relaxed week (but not unproductive) I'm ready to keep going, stepping on autumn leafs and listening to its crunch ;)

This month is starting as one full of changes! I'm playing with my last illustrations a little, trying new things, and having a lot of fun, just like a little kid. I plan on reading a lot these next days, I want to learn new things... I feel very contemplative during autumn :)

What I love more about this season are leaves and their warm colors! I couldn't help to make an illustrations with them.

So, new changes are here! I didn't say anything before because I wanted it "to finish", but really soon I will take part as a judge in a drawing contest celebrated in my city! I was chosen for it months ago, but now that the time to participate in it is over, I think it's time to tell it to everyone about it!. Can't wait! I will do my best!

So, I hope you have a nice week!! The new season brings new winds ;)

Developing the soul



This is the last watercolor I made.

It was for my talented friend Pilar Alcaro, who asked me to draw her a portrait with this technique, to represent her (or how I see her), but not too realistically. She asked me for a lot of color and to draw some photography objects on it (as she is photographed), in this case, a film roll and a simulated diaphragm at her chest. And freedom, she wanted me to draw it without restrictions.

I'm glad I decided to give it a try, something different once in a while is nice! So, I tried hard to talk about this wonderful and strong person with this watercolor, but I leave the interpretation of what every element means to you.

By the way, if you are curious, you can see some of her photography in her two blogs, HERE and HERE, I'm sure you won't regret it! And I can assure you she has more works to show you in the future, so keep an eye on her! ;)
Hope you have a nice week! Have fun!

Tuesday 23 September 2014

Spike and balloon


This little hedgehog is ready to go to the festival! Maybe he should be careful with his spikes! Or his balloons will explode really soon!! Although... aren't those more balloons inside that bag?.

I drew this illustration before I left for my holidays, when people used to go to festivals thanks to the warm weather. The weather is getting colder here as the days go by, but I wanted to show it here anyway.

So, these days I have been working a little with my blog. There're still many things I want to change... but little by little! At least I'm having fun with it :).

But! I can't be only working on it! I have been drawing a lot!. In case you didn't see my Twitter, I have been posting there some new illustrations there, so if you are curious, go check them here! Though not only final illustrations! I'm also showing from time to time some "wips" of future illustrations I'm working on at the moment :)

Time to keep working on new illustrations to show you soon! Have fun this week and see you!!

Tuesday 16 September 2014

Spongy waters



Not too much time left to swim before summer comes to an end, so better to go for it it before the weather gets cooler!.

When you look at the sky, and it's full of clouds... don't you feel like swimming in them? That's the idea I got to draw this illustration, and as summer's end is close... I thought it was the right moment :)

Last week I finally got back from my vacations! It was really fun and I got a lot of energy to start some things I left planned before them! One of those things is a new look for my blog!! I wanted to change it for a long time, so I left a draft of it and these last days I have been working on it! There're still things which I want to change, though the fact that I tried to decorate the blog by myself is a big achievement for me :)

Nothing else for today! Back to work again! I hope you have a nice week!

Tuesday 19 August 2014

Sweet bath



Those cookies are ready for a milk bath!!

I haven't drawn them (the cookies I mean) till this time, it was nice to go back to them and to draw them interacting with one of my cups! Those cookies look like little lively creatures which jump constantly around a cup! (or at least for now!).

So, my life is just as usual, I have been drawing as much as I could during these days, but now it's time to rest a little from work. I still need to finish some illustrations before, but, next month I will finally have vacations!! Yeah, everyone will be finishing theirs but I sadly couldn't. It's been a thought wait (the weather here is terrible), but I think I deserve it! I hope I get good energy thanks to those days!!

Because of that, and because I need time to finish certain illustrations, I won't post anything here in my blog till I'm back. So expect me to be back once September is started. But you can still find me on Twitter!

So, if you are finishing your holidays, have a nice day and good luck with your work/school! Start them with energy! See you on September everyone!!

Thank you for being there :)

Mother's hug



A mother is always there to give you a hug, no need to ask for it, no matter where you go in your life, her love will always follow you :)

The origin of this illustration is an old sketch, but I just felt like to draw it finally recently. It happens a lot to me, I'm constantly drawing sketches, more than I'm actually "coloring" an illustration.

One of these little sketches I'm talking about can be lost in a sketchbook for months, in some cases even years!!, but there's always a time when I felt it's the right moment to finish it (or that I casually found it at the right moment).

Sure, the final illustration can change a little of the original sketch, but its essence is there anyway. Of course, there're exceptions too. Sometimes I sketch the illustration I really want to finish at the moment, but there many cases in which I decide to finish it once I got that feeling. I don't want to rush things if it's something I'm doing for myself.

Of course, you can imagine all the sketches I have pending to be finished someday... I have to time to feel bored at all with them!!

Anyway, back to work again!! to finish some of these sketches, patiently waiting for me ;)! Have fun!!

Tuesday 5 August 2014

Cup house

Something different this time to show you!! a cup (and a plate) resembling a house! with its handle as a chimney so the steam gets out safely. Wouldn't you live there at least during vacances?? ;).

Not obsessed or something with cups at all, as you can see...

Not too much to tell this week, just that I have been drawing less than I woud like, but that I'm trying to go back to my normal "schelude" little by little. Still planning new illustrations and finishing a few I can't wait to show you!!

Anyway, hope your summer is a little more interesting than mine! but I hope you have fun!! See you soon with new illustrations!!

Tuesday 29 July 2014

Flower fairy



This illustration has been on my computer for a few weeks (even months), I thought it was the right moment to show it here!! Better late than never.

This girl is the character design I created of a little "flower fairy" for this illustration some months ago. To design her I thought of ballerinas. I wanted her hair to look like leaves, with a flower on top of it. She is my representation of those first little flowers which blossom at the start of spring.

After sketching this girl I have a little "obsessed" with nature and similar. So expect more illustration with this "theme" in the future ;)

Hope you have fun this summer. In my case, I gotta go back to work! I already have some new illustrations finished I would love to show you soon, so be patient please!!

Tuesday 22 July 2014

Breakfast girl



This girl is not a morning girl... or maybe it's just not her day.

Little test I made to play with colors while designing a new character at the same time. I wanted to draw a kid with a teapot-like hat for a long time, so I couldn't resist it anymore!. Look, she's so angry or agitated she's even getting vapour out of it!! It was fun to draw!

This week I want to draw even more things than this one! the're many things I want to try... Also, I got some news to tell you soon! Something different about what I've been doing lately, but it's a nice chance, and I hope I can get (and to learn) the better out of it!! ;)

Anyway! back to work! Hope you have a nice week!! Thank you for being there!

Tuesday 15 July 2014

Duck bath


Those days are being really hot here!! The weather is terrible during summer where I live, so I thought it was the right time to show this illustration!!

Anyway, this week was a really busy one, with the visit of a friend from another city, and later a photo shoot. It was really fun having our friend here!! there's many things I want to start now thanks to this visit... lets see what will it turn out at he end. I can't wait to meet her again!! Yesterday, I participated in a photo session, with myself as a model this time!! it was a nice change. Even if I'm not a good model at all, I had fun, but it was also really tiring at the end... I will tell you soon about these photos!!

So now back to work! This week was a "free" one for me!! (and I write "free" in quotations for more than a reason!), but now I need to keep up with lost time. Have fun and see you!!

Tuesday 8 July 2014

Turtle


After some time here is a new animal. A turtle this time playing with water ;)! I already said I have two little turtles, I'm fond of them, I can't help myself.

Anyway, this week was a really productive one for me!!. I already have some new and finished illustrations to show you for a while (plus those I already have planned to show you really soon here). I think that little trip helped me to get new energy, that thing people say about "new air". Let's keep this mood up!

But for now, these next days we have a visit, so I won't be able to be on the internet as much as I would like, but it will be fun! and I'm sure I will get new strength of this little "break" for a long time!.

Have fun! See you surely next week!!

Wednesday 2 July 2014

Jump to the final prize



This little cookie just wants a milk bath... it's just delicious!! ;)

Finally I got time to keep working on my illustrations!! I have many of them to finish and many ideas to start working with!! I can't wait!

I also got back from my little travel to he north of my country, Gerona (Barcelona), to go to the Forum Implusa 2014. Even if I got really tired at the end (the last day I almost couldn't sleep at all), I had a lot fun there and I met a lot of nice people I hope I can meet again. I also went there to some talks and a little workshop. I hope I can get advantage of all I learnt there!! At least I'm motivated enough to keep on doing my best.

By the way, yesterday I couldn't post anything here, as I had some problem with this illustration (and Photoshop), also blogger wasn't too cooperative, but everything is fine now! Better late than never!!

That's all for today, I will try to post something more this week! Have fun!

Tuesday 24 June 2014

Storytelling portfolio


http://carmengomeznog.blogspot.com.es/p/portfolio.html
Some weeks ago, I decided to create a portfolio for some of my newer digital illustrations. While I was deciding about were to put every illustration, I decided to make something different with this one. I know a portfolio should be simple and to show what you can do, your best works. Well, maybe I didn't make it THAT simple, but you can be sure I had a lot fun with it.

So, here is my "portfolio", or how I decided to call it, my "storytelling portfolio". I took some of my illustrations, which I used to create a "story" with them and a little of text. Not a real portfolio, but a silly, funny one!.

This one is interactive, you only need to click on every green "flag" to go to the next page (or to go back), till all animation is done :). I want to thank my sister for helping me with ideas to create this portfolio, and "to animate" it to post it in my blog. It was great to do something creative together after such a long time... we need to do it more we grew more and more exited about this little silly thing with each day!!

If you want to see it you can click the image above or here.

I will try to post something new here tomorrow, as this week I have a trip to the north of my country which is consuming my time... I hope once all this chaos is finished I can go back to my scheldule. In case I can't post anything tomorrow, see you next week!!

Tuesday 17 June 2014

Wash tub



This little boy is ready to endure adventures, fights... and bubbles getting in his eyes! This little wash tub is his ship, be afraid!

I remember, when I was little, I played a lot in my grandmother's old metal wash tub. I also freshen with it a lot during summer. I think my glad my grandmother kept that kind of "old traditions" with me, as I have more sweet memories bathing in these kind of wash tub in our patio than in an actual bathtub. No fear to get water out of it!!

Also, this week is being a busy one again, and next week even more, if possible!! I will be out next week on a travel during three days, so I need everything to be ready for this day >. To travel makes me feel really stressful an uneasy... Will I miss something? What if I lost the train? Well, just the usual for me. I will tell you about it soon.

Anyway, have fun and soon more!!

Tuesday 10 June 2014

Fair



Illustration I made last month for CoSfera as a present to celebrate my city's fair (I made it after joking with one of their coworkers about this idea). These children are wearing CoSfera's logo over their costumes! Time to celebrate coworking in Cordoba ;)!.

Now back to work, this week will be crazy and I won't be online as much as I would like, but at least I wanted to post something this week here... :(.

Anyway, hope you have a nice week!! See you!!

Wednesday 4 June 2014

Wine glass



It looks like someone got a little carried away. Now to sleep a little ;)

Again one of my dear "cups"!! It's been a long time since last time I posted one here (and it's not because of the lack of ideas or sketches. I have many of them to keep with this series for a while, but I just need to get time to go back to them... I will try my best with them little by little!!).

It looks like this month I will be moving and even travelling a little, and I need to prepare many things during these days... I really want time to stop... but I can do it!!

Anyway, time to go back to work. Have fun and see you ;)!!

Tuesday 3 June 2014

Soft swing



Soft swing as if wanting to rock nature to sleep until next spring.

For this illustration I imagined some kind of spring goddess who would take care of nature. I thought to draw her as a mother rocking her "baby" to have sweet dreams.

Something a little different this time. Also one of those illustrations I was working for a time related to flowers, spring, and so... I don't know what got me that time, ok? I have some of them ready to show you here in the future, just be patient!!

Now back to work!! Have fun and see you!!

Tuesday 27 May 2014

Just a bit please!



Yummy cake and a little one who is waiting for a portion for him, maybe? Just a bit! ;)

Today's not my birthday or something like that, but the sketch of this little illustration has been lost in my computer for some time, and I thought it was time to finish it!! Now I wish I can do the same with the rest of my pending sketches... but there're so many that I think they could take me years to finish (and imagine all those I decide to dismiss... what can I say, I really like to sketch).

Also, those days I have been really busy, specially this weekend, to help a friend of mine with something! I really hope everything will be fine for her, she did a wonderful job. So, now back to work (till I can, because of next month I will be moving a lot for many things) !! I will try to keep working more with my blog these days, even if it has to be little by little, but I wanna plan some things for it :)

So, I hope you have a nice day!! Have fun and see you!!

Wednesday 21 May 2014

Ups!



Something fast for today, as I will be really busy today... again. It's almost crazy!! Maybe I will need to be careful to not break something around me at this rate!!

It was a little test to mix some of my pencil colors, from different brands.

Anyway, see you and have fun!!

Tuesday 20 May 2014

My love to you



Always next to your window, at the same hour, I'm waiting for your love proof, which makes every day be special, no matter the weather, no matter the pain.

I didn't know when to show this illustration here, but as it looks like I will get a little more free time for myself, I thought it was the right moment. This one always brings me good energy, so maybe it'll help me to keep working, little by little no time to stop!! :)

Many things to do!! This weekend I have been sketching like crazy. I can't stop to start some new illustrations and to show them here as soon as possible!! I'm really motivated (for these sketches and some silly works which are helping me to disconnect... and to feel a little ashamed too, but once in a while it's fine, isn't it :D?.

I hope your days to be a good one. Good energy and see you!!

Wednesday 14 May 2014

Face



Again a little test with my pencil colors in colored paper :)

Finally yesterday I was able to get a little time for myself to draw again, after many days. I finished another illustration and now I'm planing to start a new one!! I need to make up for loss time as much as I can, but I still got many things to finish... but I will get them, I promise!! ;___;

So, back to work while I can!. Have fun and see you!!

Tuesday 13 May 2014

Princess cup



This is the princess of a little island made out of sugar and cakes, with rivers of tea and surrounded by coffee. The castle where she lives is made of delicious wafer. She is really happy there, even if she feels lonely sometimes.

I made a sketch of this illustration, a really little one, long time ago, and I had a lot of fun while coloring it!!

These days are crazy for many reasons, I'm scared I will get a lot of overdue work (and new one to add to these too). It's the worst, having some days more "free" and then all coming to you in a moment.  Well, not that I can do that much about it, actually)

Anyway, have fun and see you!! :)

Wednesday 7 May 2014

Croak Prince



This little prince wants to be a frog instead of a prince! Why can't he be just like them?

This illustration has been on my computer for months, but I thought it was time to finally show it here already. I had a lot of fun with this little boy!!

I can imagine him trying his best to copy them, jumping like crazy, or swimming like them (with terrible reprimand afterwards, of course!!) ... although I think he would have more problems with their food... our little prince doesn't like eating insects. Actually, he prefers sweets (like a lot!) ;)

These days are crazy, but I'm trying my best to keep drawing as much as I can. So, have fun and see you!!

Tuesday 6 May 2014

Special trunk



Books are the best thing in the world!! I want to stack them up and to see how high I can get with them!. All those, one over other, are the trunk of my life, of myself, so I can't let any of them fall ;)!!

Really, books are great. I found some forgotten books of when I was a child (maybe that's why I drew this little girl again for this illustration). I know I have more lost in my house, once I found a few more, maybe I will create a post about some of these (they are my background after all), who knows... ;). Even now, I still like some of them, other left me feeling like... really?. It's fun to know how much I changed over all these years, and at the same time, I'm still the same in some way.

Now back to work!! too many things to do, so... See you tomorrow!!

Wednesday 30 April 2014

Portrait



Some days ago I was playing with my pencil colors and testing them in coloured paper. That's how this little illustration was born :).

I want to try new things with them, and to play with different styles and techniques, it's just a little test, but once I finish a work I have pending, I will go back to them. I have many ideas I would like to try with my dear pencil colors again!! They make me feel like a little kid!!

Anyway, eager to learn and busy days. See you and here we go!!

Handmade magic



This little girl wants to be a magic fairy herself. So she made her own wings and wand with newspapers. If you want to be something, just do it. You can be wherever you want to be.

This illustration has been lost in my computer for a few months, it was time to post it here already!!. Something a little different from what I'm doing and showing lately, but I just wanted to try something different, for fun ;)

Things keep going and I'm drawing a little more lately, still busy, but I'm fine, and that's what matters :). Many things to do, but I can do it!!

Anyway, have fun and see you tomorrow!!

Glance



These last days are being busy and stressful for different reasons. I'm not getting too much time to draw, but the little time I get for myself, I try to keep on working on future illustrations to show here, if even for a little while. Some of these days, sketches as the one I'm showing today are born, so there's something good at least ;)

I really hope next week to be a better one, with less problems that are out of my control (not all at once, please).

Anyway, hope you have a nice weekend and start the week, of course!! Have fun :)!!

One Way



Here is the illustration I told you I made for Leyre Valiente's exhibition in the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas in Madrid. This exhibition is called "Mujeres Valientes" and it will be there till May 17th.

There you won't only see my work, but also the illustrations of other 24 talented (and brave) illustrators who take part in it. What do we do there?
Each one of us interprets one of Leyre's dresses in an illustration. There're many different styles in this exhibition which is really interesting. But not only this, you will also see some of her beautiful dresses in love. So I really recommend you to go there and to take a look. You won't regret it!! ;)

In my case, I was told to draw this coat for her collection called
Malleus Maleficarium, which dresses tell you the story of a woman announced to be a witch.  A really mysterious and magical collection. To understand better this story, take a look at this video filmed during one of her fashion shows.

Here is a photo of the coat I got from her web (on the back there's the same bird stamp):


But it was my interpretation of this coat, I leave it up to you what you think I wanted to say with it. Get your own interpretation! :)

Also, here is the poster of the exhibition with the name of all the illustrators:


Nothing else for today!! I just want to say thanks to Leyre Valiente for the opportunity. I had a lot of fun drawing and planning it ;)

See you!
