Master Copy

Bouguereau's paintings have always inspired me. I decided to copy one of his paintings "After the Bath" to exercise my photoshop skills. I tried to paint this with a lot of textures instead of using the usual smooth brush.

My Class.

Drawing from Plates I

A few years ago I attended a drawing class in which the instructor gave me a copy of one page from a book which contained hundreds of plates of anatomy studies. For a long time I looked for that book and never found it. About a while ago I found it and bought it. I will be studying these plates and copying them. This is the first one I studied.

Sketchbook work

I got a book about Italy and its culture and the photographs were amazing. I wanted to use some of those beautiful photographs and draw from them.

Drawing at the AMNH

Indian Rhinoceros

Female Pirate 2

I decided to go back to some of the reference images I had left on my desk and work on some of them. This was one of the images I really wanted to work on. Since the first pirate I did was in watercolor I thought it would be good to keep using watercolor in order to get more practice with it.

It's a Part of Me

This is the final color version of the original b/w painting of my good friend Andres Taveras. He is very passionate about graffiti so I thought it would be appropriate to portray him painting himself out of a wall.
