MerMay
The great Tom Bancroft started the #MerMay series. I've been a bit busy to actually follow it up, but yesterday I took the night to actually finish an entire piece with inks. Here is the result. Please watch it while listening to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx3RGuyN2S0

La Yumba
¡Hola!
I've been a fan of Tango for a long time. I did this piece with 2 influences. First one listening to some interviews of one of my favourites artists of all times, the amazing Carlos Nine and the second the great song 'La Yumba' from Osvaldo Pugliese.
I used Gouache and colour pencils for this piece.

People in Vancouver
¡Hola!
I spend all day long at work drawing with a Cintiq so I usually go home and draw with traditional media. I normally use and mixed whatever I can to make it work.
This weekend I went back to an exercise that I really enjoy and got inspired a while ago by Marcelo Vignali and my good friend Brett Bean. I spot interesting people on the street and try to analyze them: I look for body shapes, cloth patterns and colors, props or whatever I can describe that person with and the most important I try to observe their mood or at least create a story behind them.
I then go back home and see what are the most iconic elements that are still on my mind and play with them.
For these I used Prismacolor and Copic markers, ink for the blacks parts and colour pencil to give accent to specific places. It is a really fun exercise plus I love getting out of the computer world.
Hope you like it!

Noise Cloth
Hi people! It has been a while. I've been busy with a new project and trying to get home and keep practicing. Here a fun exercise I did with really quick drawings and using as little as I could, so I basically used the Noise filter from Photoshop to create the cloth textures. I modified a little using the tools PS provided us.
