Trying out some brushes

Back!

Anda que... no hay excusas.
Una chica que vi en la Mozarthaus de Viena, asi de delgada, vestida de negro y blanco (mas negro que blanco) y con la piel de ese color.. Ella sola ya era un dibujo. Asi la recuerdo, con la audio-guia en la mano... ^_^
(Por cierto, la Mozarthaus no mola nada @:-(

No excuses... 
A girl I saw in the Mozarthaus in Vienna. She was that thin, dressed in black and white (more black than white) and with that light skin colour... She was already a drawing. That's how I can recall her, with her audio-guide in her hand ^_^
(Btw, the Mozarthaus is not very nice to visit. Dull. @:-( 

:) 

Sketches on the way

A couple of sketches done while "touristing" around :)
Un par de dibus mientras "turisteaba" un poco :) 

People in a museum (pencil on paper while in the Hermitage in Amsterdam... and a bit of photoshop at home :) 

Girls on the train (also pencil and a bit of photoshop) 

Views from different times

So, a couple of sketches made from different places and time.

To keep this going (I found spiderwebs again, shame on me ;-) 

Un par de dibujos de distinta edad para mantener esto un poco activo (otra vez vengo y me encuentro telarañas, no tengo solución ;-)

Hi, this is one of the last adverts I have been working!
I had to do this three concepts for the environments.
(it's amazing how hungry you get when you are working with food pictures on the screen! haha ;-)
All of them are digital painting.
Hope you like them!

And the advert looks like this (Animation, FX and PP: Miopia FX): 

The whole Sketchbook Project

Hi! just to say that you can see the whole Sketchbook Project here:
The Companion Book
Hope you like it. It was very nice to do it (although I had to do it fast, haha)
Love!

The Sketchbook Project 2012

Hello!
I've just finished filling up a sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project by Art House CO-op. Just sent it today. I hope it gets there on time.
It's a funny thing to do, and also as you have a deadline, you actually finish it somehow (even when I signed up very late ;-)
I am uploading here some samples of the content (I will shortly upload the whole book to my profile in the Art House website).
All drawings have been inspired by things I've read, heard, seen .. somewhere... so thank you to all who write in any form that it may be.
Ah the title (or theme) is The Companion Book (It actually makes you company ;)
Cheers!

Felices Fiestas! *.*.* Happy Christmas!

Y gracias por los comentarios!! Os deseo desde aqui tambien en gran Año Nuevo!! 

And many thanks for all your comments!! I hope you have a great New Year too!!

Loteria de Navidad. Fábrica de sueños * The Dream Factory

Hola!
Ya han estrenado el anuncio de la loteria de Navidad de este año, en el que trabajé haciendo los diseños de los props (que son de verdad) y de los entornos 3D, aparte del pitch.
Al final se parecen bastante a los diseños originales asi que me hace ilusión.
Incluyo algunos de los diseños. Se pueden ver mas en mi web que acabo de actualizar :)
Hello!! 
The advert of the Xmas National Lottery in Spain is out and I did all the concept art and designs for the props (real ones) and 3D environments. Here I include some of the designs. The final props and environment is  quite close to my designs so that's nice. 
You can see more designs in my recently updated website :) 
Hope you like it!!

Señoras con gatos ^.^ Ladies with cats... cat_ladies???

Hello again! I don't know what made me think about painting these  (¿?) ;-) 
(owning two hairballs doesn't have anything to do with it.. haha :D)
Hola! No se que me hizo pensar en pintar estas cosas... (¿?) ;-)
(tener 2 "monigatos" no tiene nada que ver, seguro... jaja :D)

Hola!
El otro dia fuimos a un concierto con varios grupos, entre ellos, este. Solo chicas (esto no deberia ser remarcable, pero de momento lo sigue siendo) y muy jóvenes por cierto. Tocaban muy bien. Asi que despues pinté esto en casa :) (y si, la guitarrista estaba en calcetines)
Hello! The other day I went to a concert with several bands. One of them was this one. Only girls (which shouldn't need to be mentioned, but it still is) and very young ones by the way. I liked it. I drew this at home :) (and yes, the guitarist had no shoes on)

Hola! aunque me proponga lo del dibujo al dia... o dos cada dos dias, jaja, no hay manera..
Asi que he recuperado un "pitch" que hicimos hace un tiempo para un anuncio de Endesa con un tratamiento artístico. Ganamos el pitch, pero el tratamiento artistico se perdió por el camino. Bueno, aqui está el original. El anuncio ya lo publiqué en otro post pero si lo quereis ver, aqui podeis.

Hello! Not even trying the trick of the drawing_per_day or even two_drawings_per_day, there's no way...  So, I have recovered a pitch we did for Endesa (Electricity company in Spain) some time ago. We gave an artistic look to the images, we won the pitch but the look got lost in the way. Anyway this is the stuff we proposed. I already published the final advert in another post, but if you want to see it here it is.

Y esto es la animación esquemática (muy brusca, rough, vamos) de una de las transiciones:

This is a veryvery rough animation of one of the transitions:

Y otra vez se me juntaron 2 días! Asi que otra vez 2 dibujos, quizá es mejor de esta forma ¿?

Again 2 days in a row, again a couple of drawings then, these ones for Jase ^_^

Su sitio favorito * His favorite place

This is now his favorite place... marker and watercolour on paper

La vista es bastante amplia, si miras para un lado ves la catedral de lejos, mas o menos asi (bueno, un poco mas estilizada que mi sketch) y para el otro lado, la vista es aprox el dibujo en grises, aunque el dibujo no me gusta demasiado... pero no se puede ganar siempre, jaja.

The view is actually quite wide, one side you can see the cathedral far away, more or less like in the colour sketch and on the other side you see the greyscale drawing...  although I don't think the drawing si very good... mmm not really, but you can't always win, uh-oh.. ^_^
