another remake =) one would think that remaking should produce better drawings...well it does, so I'll let you just fancy how the previous one would have been...</div>

last saturday I joined this group of artists and went to my very first sketch crawl! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean, I had already made live sketches with some friends now and then, still I had never really tryed to take it seriously ....well I probabily dind't take it seriously enough this time even, I was so excited, and trying to catch every detail, I couldn't focus enough!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
furthermore I was always chatting with others, so maybe that was the reason why I couldn't focus, I guess...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in fact down below you can see one among the pages I drawn, it's not so ...wow. =) my friends and other sketchers did some really beautiful works, some can be seen here:</div>

I don't think I'm going for a third try...even though the second time I had this great idea ( sarcasm...) of scanning pencils before starting coloring, and next time I I wouldn't have to draw it all again, at least...</div>

my very first concept for his cartoon portrait ^^ I liked it, but it was a bit too complicated: too many characters, horizontal composition, no center in this picture, all things diverting attention from what was supposed to be the main character of this cartoon. so, with some help from others ( my friend's brother) I rearranged it. but I think it was a funny idea, so I posted it ^_^ </div>

cartoon portrait of a friend of mine, my gift for his degree!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he dislikes Disney, and junkfood, and he loves Apple and apples... finally he also draws, and I can't decide whether to admit he does better than I do, or deny it for my pride's sake... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
despite it all, anyway, we can say he's really a good fellow =D</div>

yeah, that's cheating...not finishing previous work and posting some other rough colored pic...in my defence, I messed up the previous one with watercolours ( guess that typing the word 'mess' or 'messed up' on google one will probabily wind up finding my blog...) and having to work on too much things lately, at least too much for me probabily...so took one just started one and finished in a hurry( maybe typing the word 'hurry' one will end up here too...)<br />
computer coloring is so much more reliable than manual coloring, not that I were better at, but It's a little less stressing, no risk to get a stomach ulcer at least. ( though I guess I unfortunately like the watercolor effect better)<br />
however...this is not that bad I dare say!martahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02766635680475452762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071006605712651961.post-49030589641252426762014-02-25T12:37:00.001-08:002014-02-25T13:23:02.516-08:00Dorne<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

since I started to read the serie, I have longed to draw some Game Of Thrones scenery, so here we are. my first GOT fanart was to be about Dorne, I was inspired by a chapter about its Prince and his palace...though I'm not sure it was supposed to look so eastern, but that's quite how I imagined it...and yes I got some help from a photo of an Arabic Palace...just a rough sketch, with some color tries. </div>
...guess it looks a bit Disney-like....martahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02766635680475452762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071006605712651961.post-83428533441613432562014-02-17T12:31:00.001-08:002014-02-17T12:35:19.017-08:00making of<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
took a while to make this one, and I was quite in a hurry coloring the last couples ^^</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this year i feel a little more Valentine's mood than I used to, and that's stupid !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
indeed <i> </i>I used to be the Valentine's haters club vice-pres, i guess so...and I can't tell what this change of attitude is due to ..just, I guess, I'd rather like to cheer than complaining again ^_^</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and since everyone's saying this is a commercial celebration, well I thought about that, I guess I'm glad it is: that is more work for artist producing cards and jewels, and all that stuff, so if I become good enough to do that that will mean more work for me ^^</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
however, I had quite a good time making this, trying to represent different ways of love through characters from movies and literature I love ^^ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so Happy Valentine's my watchers, whatever Valentine's means to you ^^</div>

this can sound quite quite crazy, but people who makes comics often manages to portray things conveying in their pictures the sense of things not just their shape, I envy them so much!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Youkai is the term oftenly used to refer to a class of demons, ghosts and spirits which are typical of the Japanese folklore. It was quite a while from the last time I had visited the manga shop, and I think it was even more since I had bought and read an actual manga. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two weeks ago I went there to buy a present for a friend, and then I obviously found myself buying mangas for me. I especially love stories setted in medieval Japan or referring to Japanese folklore, with youkai and spirits, I could say I was grown up by InuYasha's manga and anime in my teens, so I suddenly felt so much inspired to draw Japanese monsters! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the picture's just about a story of mine, one of those I had thought about every character and every character's story without really figuring the actual story, still it is useful to make pictures about ^^</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
watercolour isn't finished, still I have already managed to mess it up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess I'll finish and try to fix it,by the way, I guess the youkai part hasn't turned out that bad. probabily.</div>

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OGlDUHJKpo4/Usv7EdqhSsI/AAAAAAAAAVk/LyBKTlLALVk/s1600/sketches3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OGlDUHJKpo4/Usv7EdqhSsI/AAAAAAAAAVk/LyBKTlLALVk/s1600/sketches3.jpg" height="440" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
well, right, they were live sketches...I was in this little location in the open air, there was a villa, a little wood, trees and a creek. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as the lazy person that I am would have done, I didn't even try to represent the villa ( architecture? perspective?...please..I was on holiday, remember?), but tried to copy the creek and trees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually started just copying, but a certain moment I started adding human features to some branches I had previously scketched. I guess I've always loved the idea of nymphs and living trees.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the first story I drawn while attending drawing school was actually about a willow tree with human feelings ...guess I've always loved willows too, though it was quite a torture to draw it with all its propers branches and leaves then...this time it was easier for it had no leaves ! ^^</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
oh, I loved the creek running there as well, and there were woods and fens! it was just really inspiring , I think fens always are </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I was attending drawing school I used to think: perspective? come on...I'll never get it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
well, I never got it indeed, still one day the time came when I could not just close my eyes and ignore it anymore, and here I am, fighting with adhesive tape, and lots of papers and rulers, fighting against confusing llines and vanishing points...so many vanishing points, damn it! and when it doesn't turn out a very correct perspective I still try to cheat...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hope 2014 will be a better year to draw perspectives...</div>

I wish you a better New Year too ^_^</div>

I've been drawing quite a lot of Irish scenarios and Irish houses lately, for I've been working on a project whose set is early 20th century's Ireland, I hope I will be able to air that project next year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anyway I just woke some days ago and felt like drawing some really wintry scene, and I had these Irish village and characters in my mind, I quite like the final outcome! up here, with some photoshop effects, down below the original one, which I find quite good too! </div>

some years ago, I guess it was 2010 or 2011, I had this story setted in an asian forest , and did started drawing. these days I found myself thinking about that story and about the environment I had fancied for it: it was a really fascinanting one, though, as one can possibly desume from the picture below, I had not quite the skills to represent it...hoping in a personal improvement I started drawing that scenario again, for I really felt inspired! </div>

some quite rough sketches I made for training.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the one with the kitty cat is really close to the model, I think.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess she would like me to draw a proper portrait, still she'd have to be content with just some sketches, for the whole work took me quite a long time and I'm short of time to draw lately ^_^</div>

among all Fionn Mac Cumhaill's legends' cicle, one of my favourite is the one telling abut Fionn and Sadhbh, the deer-maid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add this to my love for drawing kids and young girls ( which are the most easy characters for me to draw) and you'll have me making a watercolor sketch about this ^_^</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the full-bodied characters are different versions of Sadhbh, the second one on the right is the most close to what was my original idea, and still probabily my fave. but I love the long-haired dark girl in the right corner too, and she would also be a version of Sadhbh, with a different temper, as her expression should tell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there's a Fionn's sketch too, and one of another character of mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Indeed since i was very young I would have like to draw some story about the Fenian's cicle or sometìhing related to, and I imagined quite a ring of character which would have dealt with Fionn and the original ones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think this kind of cicles always to be fascinanting fields of stories and feelings for a story-teller to explore. </div>
