Teaser

It's been a while since my last post. I'm back to school again, I must say I'm really excited with this new semester, seems like its gonna be tons of fun!

I've been working on a project about recycling during the summer. Here's a test I did for one of the scenes. It was made using after effects.

More info about the project coming soon!

Color Studies

My injured sister has been getting tons of flowers lately. Flowers are beautiful, but hard to draw. After messing up a little the colors in my first attempt, I forced my self to do some color studies and pay attention to the different shadows, hues, values, etc. Still trying to get better at watercolors, and I also experimented a little with pastels. I noticed that as I kept going I started to get a little bit more the idea of how to use the different mediums. Gotta do more studies to get better!

Sketching places

I haven't had the time to go sketching some buildings and places here in Mexico this summer, but I'm looking forward on going this coming weekend! 

Didn't really finish these drawings but I kinda like them. I pretty much tried to experiment with watercolours (which didn't turned out that great).

First drawing: Palacio de Bellas Artes (Palace of Fine Arts), Mexico City

Second drawing: Antiguo Colegio de Minería, Mexico City

Last drawing: Riverdale, Toronto

Old Sketchbook Drawings

Playing around with colors. I loved these giraffes until I put some sparkles on it and closed my sketchbook without letting it dry :( 

Craziness

It's gonna be a crazy end of the week.

I'm going back to Mexico City this weekend. I'm worried about the people, my friends, my family, my own health...the situation seems pretty bad right now, and they not only are dealing with the swine flu, but two days ago there was also a quake. I just hope I don't get the flu while I'm there. If I survive the first days at the zombie town, I'll make sure to post more of my artwork and make a vow to become a better artist :D. Seems fair.

Meanwhile, the pages I submitted for the yearbook.

Dr.Jekyll to Mr.Hyde transformation

So here it is, the final character design assignment that took away days and hours of sleep. I kinda tried to go with a different style this time.

Dr. Jekyll is undergoing a bee-venom therapy (also called "apitherapy", you can look it up if don't believe me :D) to increase his brain power due to the high amount of energy and vitality you can get from the therapy. He doesn't like the feeling of being stung by a bee (and who actually does?), so he plays with the bee venom and DNA, but something goes wrong and he ends up turning into a crazy bee!!!

I actually got the idea of the bee from my mom. She literally loves this bee therapy and seems to actually work for her.

Hope you like it!
