La Creacion de Eva

La Creación de Eva/ Eve's Creation

I tried to continue being careful creating a soft color pallete with some strokes of more saturated colors. It was also important in this picture to convey a sense of rythm and dancing from the way the curves related to each other.

Secretos/Secrets
Continuing the series of illustrations, this time attempting to reach a middle-ground between something more graphic-designy and a proper digital painting. I worked very hard on the piece, specially to get the color pallete to be harmonious and the contrast relationships to be accurate. However, the file conversion from my photoshop file to a .PNG (JPEG´s quality was too bad, so it was quickly discarded) was a headache. I almost had to do 26 samples, before arriving to a decent result, and it has still lost a lot of the file quality and small gradients the original image had. Hopefully, this will not happen on the printing stage as well.
Regarding the concept, as you´ve probably noticed, I included  the lilies and the orchids again, since their meaning is quite opposite and appropiate to what I wanted to portray, alongside with the medieval simbolism of the unicorn.

Guadalupe

I tried to play around with a different color pallete this time, using more vibrant colors and a tropical atmosphere. I really wanted to portray a certain kind of feeling in this picture, but I am completely at a loss about how to describe it, but I hope you guys can see it through.

Part of a series of illustrations for an upcoming event.

Tools: black marker + black pen + photoshop

Lamento

I´ve always found art to be a better healer than time. 

Continuing the series of illustrations for the event in June 2014. This was quite experimental and it was heavily edited from the inicial sketch. I am trying to make a dialogue with the drawing, to what it´s becoming, instead of imposing my own will completely to it.

Tools: black marker (sharpie), black pen, photoshop

Jugar

This is part of a series of illustrations I am preparing for an upcoming event in June 2014. I tried to experiment quite a bit with the technique, and to return to my drawing roots, and to be attentive to line weight and color combination in a two-dimensional scheme.

Tools: black pen + photoshop, for coloring
