2 small paintings in progress

I'm working on 2 small paintings, aiming to use all my available material while I'm still at my parents house, I think I'll be moving to the USA next year, so I want to make sure I don't leave here anything unused that will just cause a big mess (in case that mom wants to use the room for rent or just if she wants to enter and clean it )

I'm overcoming lots of fears with this works, they look so simple, but the progress has been hard and I try not to go down everytime I know I need a break from them. But I like them, because of what they're teaching to me, like patience, planning and that "wtf? I'm changing this because I want it to be different!" feeling.  And i feel free.

The one at the right started with a different, more childlish kind of face, I elongated it and worked with a more soft-kinda realistic touch. I'm getting inspired by Soey Milk 's paintings,  she's my biggest inspiration as for today, I know I hugely feel inspired by women like Audrey Kawasaki, Karla Ortiz, Jel Ena, Stella Im Hultberg, Alice Savage and a huge list of incredible artists I follow. Including my best friends Tamisery , Piquipauparro , Bee-chan  who inspire me, not only with their art, but with their lives as well.
I would love to be half as incredible as they all are, and all the amazing artists I follow on all the social networks I'm in.

I'm working and redesigning my life to finally be where I'd love to be. It's been a long process, and I was even awarded with the most incredible husband and lots of friends, I can say that all I went through was worth it.  So, on to keep working =)

Thanks for reading (if you're not just a spam reference site =|)

Pony Drawing for JujuB.

Color Pencil and white acrylic on Strattmore Recycled paper 400 series, 80lb.

8x10"

2013

Meet JuJu, she's one pony persona of my dear friend and client Crystal, owner of Studio JujuB. Her design is very lovely and I'm always happy when I get some freedom to choose elements and create something special.  She asked me to make JuJu my style, but honestly, it's been a while since I drew my last pony ! So this might be my current style, but the important thing is that she loves it and that makes me a happy artist too =)

She's a good white magic voodoo princess and is always in the company of her little black doll. Last time I drew her, was with striped stockings, but for this design, I aimed to keep the attention to the top part, so it can be used as cover image for FB, as requested by the commissioner. This way I could also work on some furry unicorn hooves.

So, this work is finished and I'm on to the next one.

If interested on a drawing like this, let me know.  I can't ship anything starting the last days of November, because the risk of the item to be lost or delayed due Xmas rush is high.  Although, you can wait til mid-January for me to ship it, or just go with the Hi-Res scan (300dpi) and save on shipping.

Thank you 

Have a wonderful day

Current Painting

This is the current stage of a big painting I'm making. I'm finally happy with her features and the horses, but as I changed it a bit, compared to the original sketch, I'm sorting out options to unify her hair and the horses coming out of it.  Colors are locked, just this tiny details missing and then to finish it.  I wish I had ArtResin to seal it up, I would love to see it with that beautiful glow.

I hope I can find her a home, I would't want to take her with me to the USA next year, it is bigger than my usual works =|

Thank you for reading! Have a great start of the week!

Esta es la etapa actual en que se encuentra la pintura que estoy haciendo. Finalmente estoy feliz con su look y con los caballos, pero como cambié el diseño final a como estaba en el boceto a lápiz, aún necesito estudiar opciones para unificar la sección donde los caballos emergen de su cabello. Los colores ya están bloqueados, solo faltan un par de detalles y listo, a darle los últimos toques y terminarla. Ojala tuviera a mi alcance ArtResin para usar como sellador, me encantaría ver esta pintura brillante con esa capa de resina.


Espero que pueda encontrarle hogar, no me gustaría tener que llevarla a Estados Unidos el próximo año, es más grande que mis trabajos usuales.


Gracias por leer mi blog, que tengan un muy buen inicio de semana !

Daenerys

 

Today I learned that the Internet is Dark and full of terrors  hahaha
Just a personal experience on Reddit =)

Anyway, I'm learning to tell people that when I make a fanart, I just use the character and some details and just mix them to my likes. This image is an example, some people is disliking it because she should be bald, according to the book... well, I haven't reached that part in the books! >.< 

This is just the Targaryen girl with her signature dragons =)  that's it, don't look for anything else, you're not going to find it...

And her eyes does have a bit of purple! but the scanner is not picking it well, so, there ya go xD

As for the technical info, this lady was made with colored pencils on Strattmore Toned tan paper. Size 5,5" x 8,5".

The original is a gift for my husband, who likes it a lot and I'm proud if it ^^ 

Thank you for watching!

Custom ponies production stopped til further notice =(

 (Pony in progress, missing its gross factor because her blood won't shine without a gloss glaze T^T)

Today I went to my local Home Depot, with hopes to find a polyurethane water based glaze for some charms I'm making and of course, for my custom ponies. My surprise was that I just found oil-based glazes from Minwax, and that they're not going to carry more polyurethane glazes for wood any longer. This is a crazy situation and sadly, all my projects will be delayed til I find something good to work with.  Sculpey Gloss Glaze whas my favorite varnish, until it started to crack the painting. For some projects looks cute and it adds some elements of surprise. But in other projects, well, it's disappointing

So, I won't be working on the projects I expected to work before closing all sales during mid-November, in order to avoid Xmas rush and mail delaying. It happened to me once, sent a pony on the first week of December and it arrived til February. =|  And I was lucky it got there!

I will be working on ponies, but I will have to take them with me to the USA next time I go, hopefully now as a permanent resident.  I'm sad, because I have a couple projects that will be shipped to Europe that will cost 10 times more to send from USA than from Mexico =(  But quality goes first.

I'm in the search for this water based glaze, it must exist something !  I have some charms on hold and I don't want to deliver them with cracks!

So I guess that I will be focusing this couple months to my drawings and paintings more than my crafts T.T


Well, happy weekend to everybody... <3

An article I found by Adeline Halrvorson

Adeline Halrvorson is a lovely woman we met at the Scottsdale Festival of the Arts back in February this year. She's a very impressive artist that made me understand how far somebody can go with acrylic paints. She makes some wonderful horse paintings (of course, this caught my eyes first!) and you could not believe they're not made with oils!

This is her website:

http://www.adelinehalvorson.com

Today I went through her website again and found on her FAQ a link to an article she wrote about the progress of a big painting she made. I wanted to store the link somewhere, as it is a wooonderful source of advice on technique and process!

Visit her site, she's amazing!

Have a wonderful day!
