New art in the making, ACEO size

This is a new ACEO I made, will be available either on my Etsy Store or my Bigcartel one, still deciding =) Happy to be practicing a bit more of shading and expressions, I looove working with pencils <3

You can follow my art and progress shots on my FACEBOOK PAGE
Or if you want to purchase a piece of my art, you can check my ETSY SHOP

Sadly this are my last 23 days in Tucson, not sure for how long =( I'm trying not to go down and keep drawing, this time I can spend visiting my hubby is battery charging for me to go back to the messy life I live with back at Mexico. But it's a good time to learn that I can live blocking all stress and focus on work if I focus enough =) I might take a week and a half break when I go back due some social stuff and to get used to fight for my bed against Kitty when I'm back at my parent's house... =|

Today I got outside to spray sealant on some drawings, got absorbed by the lovely weather, sunny but not hot, windy but not cold. A perfect weather for me to get teary eyes and to know I'll be missing the desert more then I thought... Who knew? I just don't feel happy to go back to a humid weather and less when I will be arriving at the start of the hottest season of the year... Lovely 45 degrees (Celsius) feeling like 50 or perhaps more... But that's the easiest of my worries...

Art will be work and therapy at the same time...

How I would love to learn to make a small pallet house at my piece of land where I can spend the day drawing without worries xD Might have to save for it and learn some basic building stuff =P

Well... until I leave, I'll enjoy my time here, it is so incredible to be blessed with my husband and an incredible life changing experience that has been visiting this country 2 times by now.

Have a wonderful wonderful evening everybody

Love

New Piece - Destiny

I can finally call this girl "finished"

"DESTINY"
Acrylic & Pencil on Wood

I'm very very happy with how this turned out, I was concerned about loosing her, I was really in love with the pencil stage! I'm very happy I could make her justice with the acrylic paints =) I'm very satisfied with the achievements with this little image.

Thanks for looking! ^^

Good Thoughts - Finished Art

I finally finished this lady!

"Good Thoughts"
Pencil on Paper (acid free 190gr/m2)
5.5" x 8.5"

Got a bit rush of inspiration by discovering the works of Fuyuko Matsui. Playing with concepts and trying to add something a bit meaningful instead of just working on a lovely nude lady. I just wish that the scanner could have got the texture right, this is too sharp, the original is softer looking.

Also, I lost a bit the fear of drawing a different nose, this one reminds me to my own hehehe, I spend too much time critiquing my nose, I know. So I wanted to give this girl a more "non-perfect" look to her nose (<-for hollywood standards).

I like to work with this weird ideas
=)

Thanks for looking
Have a wonderful evening

Good Thoughts Wip (drawing)

WIP of a drawing I'm making and trying to finish =)

Bad thing for me right now is that I have some problems with my eyes, not sure what's in the environment today but certainly is something that's messing with my poor eyes... and hubby's too.. =|

I hope to finish it in a couple hours... and well, scan it tomorrow morning when hubby is not glued to the PC playing Sim City =D

Have a great evening <3

Good Evening <3

Today I had a bit of a rush of old memories, when I used to have a horse.
Brought a bit of tears to my eyes actually...

Started a search on Etsy for some cute horse art, and I found this little plaques with lovely quotes for the horse lovers, I absolutely loved 2, just wanted to drop the links here because I really want to get them once I get to pay a big loan I have pending:

Horses lend us the wings we lack

I train horses ... to eat carrots
Images and craft work goes to Dawn from EquineExpressionsbyD on Etsy

Can't wait to have them <3

Fuyuko Matsui

Just found myself attracted to the art of Fuyuko Matsui, a Japanese artist.

I love how she can translate her ideas into images, how she creates a story using traditional elements of Japanese art that were lost in time. And I feel very respectful of her worries about the society she lives in.
