Battle at Times Square!

This is an Illustration depicting the adventures of Alice, the Mad Hatter and the March Hare as they try to save the White rabbit from the Red Queen. As they leave their statue forms in Central Park they come to life with new powers they will need to fight the evil experiments created by the Red Queen such as the M²!! Watercolor and Photoshop.

Female Pirate (Finished)

This is the final version of this watercolor exercise. I really liked the texture of the paint and the paper. I feel like I learned a lot about using a limited amount of colors to create a cohesive illustration. I used Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna on Strathmore 400 cold press paper.

Vulture

This was a color exercise in which I needed to match a photography as much as possible. This image is my painting. Although painting has been such a difficult skill for me to learn; I feel that this exercise really helped me understand it a bit better.

This is a side by side comparison of the photograph and my painting.

Pride

This is a scratchboard illustration with one of the deadly seven sins as theme, Pride

My favorite one!

Well that's all I can say for this painting, it was my favorite. I feel that after 4 months of working with watercolors this is the best I could do. I feel comfortable now working with them. I was very pleased with it and I still am. This was a 40 min pose.

Buffoon

These two paintings were from the same session.

10 min pose.

20 min pose.

Watercolor!!!

These are some of the best paintings I did during these past few months. Some of them are 20 minute poses and some are 40.

This painting reminded me the fashion illustration classes I took last year. Something about the music and the model helped me paint this. I was feeling very inspired during this session. 40 min. pose.

This was another 40 min pose.

This might have been a 30 min pose.

Female pirate

I used a very amazing photo as reference for this watercolor exercise. It has been a great experience to work with watercolor enough to overcome my previous frustrations with this medium. I used ultramarine, indigo and burnt sienna for this on Strathmore 400 series watercolor paper.

Back to Illustrator

This is the most recent vector illustration I have completed recently . It felt good to finish this one since it was a lot of work. I learned a couple of new things while working on it. However, I didn't get to use the most useful features that Illustrator CS5 has to offer when it comes to drawing in perspective. Hopefully for the next one, I will be able to use what I learned doing this illustration and apply it on a more advanced and challenging project.

Retrato de mi Mama

I felt the need of writing the title of this watercolor painting in Spanish since that's the language I use to communicate with my mom. This is one of the first attempts I made at using watercolor. My mom was kind enough to pose for me for about 45 mins. I added the colors a few days later. I used ultramarine and burnt sienna on cold press Strathmore paper.
