Here's a portrait i did from kerstin from snowflakes and black vampires . what i did is a pencil drawing then once scanned i used a photo with a sky as a background, did some details with the tablet and changed colours, to make it look a little "dark", vampire-like, hahaha. check out her site here to read her post about this portrait trade or see the other potraits she did here
if you are interested in entering the portrait party with me or her please write to us.

EDM challenge # 60 -( in situ )

just fooling around with paint shop pro, placed the car in a street, on a photo i took last saturday when coming back from the live-model-classes in front of the train station. by the way last sunday, the teacher i work with/for, appeared in one magazine that comes with the most sold newspaper in our country, together with two models that she usually hires for the classes. when i took this pic i was about to get the magazine

EDM challenge # 60 = draw an automovile

i found this pic in a magazine yesterday. it's quite difficult to draw a car i've seen. never did before, so can this be the beginning..?¿

it's strange. coins always existed in my country but only in the last few years they have gained some value again. our money always lost value so quickly that coins never had any value to even buy a candy. in the old days people could but lots of food or things just some coins, nowadays they don't have such a big value but you need them all the time to speak on public phones or even to ride a bus. the only way to ride a bus is to use coins into a machine next to the driver. no coins no ride. so we are always trying to get coins when we buy something to later have "for the bus".

the precess: a pear drawn in graphite pencil. lettering in black marker. border: purple watercolour pencil. Scanned then applied a layer using a photo of the sky I took las saturday and which I previously changed the RGB tones to turn it into green. it only appears under the pear. there are some addings of yellow & bown with the tablet pen too. too complicated for just a single pear, ha?

EDM challenge # 52 - draw a dog

Challenge #52 - Draw a dog (yours or a friends or anyone's) and journal about your dog relationships.

These are three sketches I did during the weekend while our dog was sleepy. She's been at home since about two months ago.
I had other dog, the first one I ever had, but she died in 2004. With her I really learnt what having a pet was like.

EDM challenge# 17 = draw a musical instrument

EDM challenge#17 = draw a musical instrument
perhaps you won't believe me but i did this WC yesterday because of the violin. i love violins, the shape is so sophisticated, and i got this photo from a magazine, the woman plays the violin among and to her grape-vines. there is a problem i couldn't solve in one of the finger (the middle one of her left hand -right side of the image) I have to study more what the problem is to solve it, apart from that i call it finished.

EDM challenge # 2= Draw a desk lamp or other lamp

this little lamp, less than 3" tall, has a long story. anyway if you fill it it work like a real size one. this is a quick sketch in pencil then worked on it with paint shop pro
