Hi everyone! 

Here's my entry for a contest about tales/legends. I haven't had this much fun creating a piece in a while. It took me many sketches until the final one and I'm pleased with the one I decided to go for. Since sirens were known to lure sailors with their singing and kill them, my siren keeps their skulls and uses some of their organs as acessories.

I think it's my first slightly gory piece and I'm looking forward to making more on this style in the future!

I hope you like it and that you have an amazing week!

Hello everyone!

Here's the last piece of the week! I spent these last two days banging my head to the wall because I was feeling completely uninspired - everytime I would go to Photoshop, it was like nothing was coming out right. Still, l forced myself to sketch last night and this is the finished result from working on it today. 

There's really no moral to the story, just that we should push ourselves to sketch/doodle something to work on as foundation for when we feel better. Anyway, I hope you like it!!

Have an awesome weekend!

Hello everyone!

Today I bring you a bridal elf. It was a nice exercise to once again practice the profile of a face, since I noticed that on some paintings ago, my profile face painting skills game wasn't that strong. It was also fun to work on little details like the hair pieces and the hair itself. I hope you like it!

 Hello everyone!

Phew, this one took me a while to finish. I was stuck on this digital painting for 3 days due to having no direction for it. I put so many hours into changing the pose, the setting and the outfit that got me a bit frustrated >.<

Oh well, this weekend I'll be sketching for this month's birthstone illustration and for a contest that I'll be participating in!

I hope you have an amazing weekend and I'll see you next week!! <3

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Since this it's "Mermay" season, I thought I should make something mermaid related. I don't really feel like drawing mermaids for the entire month (I think I would go crazy haha) as the Mermay tag dictates, so I just made one to sort of celebrate this trend. 

I didn't want to paint the typical mermaid at the beach, so I went with a snow/ice theme instead.

It's funny how I already put in so many hours into this digital painting and it still doesn't feel finished to me. However, I think it's still important to know when to stop so we can move on to the next painting and not get stuck with details for so long.
I really hope you enjoy it and I'll see you soon!

 Hello everyone!

Since I haven't finished the mermaid I've been working on for "Mermay", here's a portrait I made a few weeks ago. I wanted a sketch feel to it but still with a finished look. I find it a great way to practice drawing faces without having to go through much trouble with the painting.

And that's it for this week! I hope you have an amazing weekend and I'll be back on monday! <3

Hello everyone!

I haven't spent that much time painting a face in a very long time - and it feels great to finally have the chance to! I love painting faces and spend time perfecting them, but since I've been on a painting frenzy these past weeks, some details get often very overlooked.

There was no particular concept on this digital painting other than having a fairy like feel to the character. I had  lot of fun with the process and playing around with the highlights and skin in general. 

I hope you like it!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a great weekend!

Starting off the week with a portrait. I went to the zoo yesterday and after looking at so many snakes, I got somewhat inspired to paint one. Never painted a snake before, so here's for first time trying something new!

Hello everyone!

Finally, I was able to put together this recap for April. This month was for sure the month I produced the most number of finished pieces, so it took a bit longer to compile them all in one post.

Overall, I am happy with the outcome of the paintings and if anything, it makes me realise on what I need to improve - and that would be: better planning and better rendering. Looking back at some pieces, I feel like some of them look a bit flat, so it's something that I'll be sure to pay more attention in the future.

I hope you can take some inspiration out of this post for your own paintings and, of course, if you haven't seen my previous art recap's you can check them out here: January | February | March.

So let's get started!

WINTERLAND QUEEN

This piece was supposed to be just a portrait practice, but I kept adding details and details until it became something that I ended up really liking. It was nice to play around with the hair :)

CHICKIE

I was going back and forth with ideas on what I should make to celebrate Easter and this is what I came up with. At first I was going to make something related to Easter eggs, but then this came to mind - a chick girl hatching!

UNICORN GIRL

The process of this painting was one of my favorites yet. I started with a monochromatic sketch and paint job and then I played around with the different Photoshop options to the add colors.

NOVICE ELF

This piece was quite a big headache. I'm not completely happy with the end result, but it got to a point where I wasn't sure on how to improve it anymore. It's what happens when I am so eager to put out content on a daily basis and there's not much time between finishing it and give it some hours to look at it with fresh new eyes. Living and learning!

VANITY ANGEL

The process of this digital painting was the same one from "Unicorn Girl".  This one turned out so soft and fluffy that it's probably my favorite digital painting from April! The harmony of the colors is also a big plus!

DOLLY LIKE

This one was another portrait practice turned into a somewhat finished painting. Once again, it was fun working around with the hair and I've been wanting to improve how I paint curls - it needs some work!

FACE OFF

For the longest time I ignored my textured brushes on Photoshop and would just stick to round brush + airbrush, but on this painting I changed that. A bit of roughness in a piece isn't that bad. I also love conceptualizing outfits, so needless to say that I had a lot of fun with this one as well!

 WATERFALL

Painting water is a bit hard, but wet surfaces illusions are very cool to paint. I was very happy with how the character turned out, but looking at it now I'd add some more variation on the blue of the water.

IN THE ZONE

Here's a sort of monochromatic portrait. I wanted to achieve a different style from my usual colored portraits. Looking forward to make more like these in the future.

HUNT DOWN

This was a cool concept to work around with. Sometimes I struggle with what to do with the backgrounds in order to compliment the main focus of the painting. I tried many things for the background on this piece, but after so many tries I decided to go simple with it.

TINKER BELL

Some fan art for the month! Working with the highlights of the body is one of my favorite steps. It's not a perfect piec, but it's always a stepping stone to get to a desired skill level!

HIPSTER LUNARA

I mentioned many times before how much I love Heroes of the Storm, and Lunara happens to be one of my most played hero. Even though I like the way she originally looks in game, I decided to give her a little spin when it comes to her looks.

HARVESTER

I painted this very last minute and with no particular vision. It was created on the spur of the moment and her oufit is one of my favorites I've done so far.

A GUY

I don't usually paint guys, but I find it to be a very needed effort in order to broaden my skills and subjects variety. Just have to work a little bit more on painting better male features.

DIAMOND - BIRTHSTONE SERIES

My illustration for my Birthstone Series! As it happens once in a blue moon, on this painting I didn't obssess that much over details and making things perfect. I think it turned out looking fluid because of that. Side note: check out my previous birthstone illustrations! Garnet | Amethyst | Aquamarine.

And that's it for the month of April! I hope you guys enjoyed it and that you look forward to my future digital paintings! <3

Hello!

I'm so behind on my blog schedule. My recap for April and April's monthtly tutorial were already supposed to be up, but I've been a bit busy with traditional art along with digital. And yesterday was also my birthday (yay!), so I didn't have much time either.

When it comes to this painting, it's something that I made today and had lots of fun playing around with her outfit. It's still a bit unfinished, but it was nice practice.

I hope you like it!
