How to draw more and more...
4 min read
I've been going through a very busy, though month. Who would have thought that things would go downhill right after my vacations? Tests from the university, driving lessons, going to the gym, struggling at work.... Phew! I have my art+music project still going on and I'm very happy to say that even though I haven't finished it, I'm still motivated to do it.
I even found something I would like to share with you. The artist Michael Nobbs ( www.michaelnobbs.com ) created a very nice booklet called "75 ways to draw more", you can download and print this through Flickr here -> www.flickr.com/photos/michaeln… and I can tell you, it's a great idea! There are very light-hearted and creative tips for those of us who can't just find the inspiration to draw big things and more elaborate themes and also for those of us who don't have the time as well.
On another topic... I'm very glad to say that I will get a much better schedule starting on May 1st, I can't wait to continue on all my projects! Besides, those driving lessons won't last forever and I will get more time to sleep once I finish... I'm exhausted and I miss having some time to be creative and let all of my ideas out of my mind. I have to force myself to draw and I want to enjoy that once more.
*takes pen and waves*
Until later!

Artist project! (Part II)
4 min read
Hey there! I have been kind of absent because I'm full of tests and quizes. Honestly, I have been in the mood to draw but I haven't had the time to actually sit down and rest, take some time to draw something worthy and post it.
Anyway, I thought you would like to find out about the project. Thanks a ton for the many suggestions, they really helped me out! I really got many good ideas!
Selected artists so far, not in any specific order:
1. Amy Lee - Evanescence (U.S)
2. Bjork (Iceland)
3. Imogen Heap (U.S)
4. Panic! at the disco (U.S)
5. Dave Grohl -Foo Fighters (U.S)
6. Maria Ilieva (Bulgary)
7. Lara Fabian (Belgium)
8. Tarka Turunen (Finland)- personal wish!
9. Apocalyptica (Finland)
10. Roxette (Sweden)
11. Gloria Trevi (Mexico) - this will be specially fun to draw!
12. Miranda! (Argentina)- I did it for the lulz!
I have gathered many interesting facial features, this is going to be fun!
Thanks!

Name that artist!
4 min read
I just realized how MUCH I love music and I'm planning a project that's pretty much going to take me the whole year. This time I will have the time to actually do it (compared to other years) and I think I now have the skill to go wild with stylizing and watercolor techniques, so... I need your input and ideas!
This is it: I want to draw musician portraits. One for each month. The thing is, I'd love to get names and pictures of artists who are not that "main-stream" and commercial, a.k.a Britney-F-Spears, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, or other peeps who would easily fit onto a "High-School Musical" casting. Do you get what I'm trying to say?
I'd love to emphasize, however, that groups or artists of these genres would not really be my taste: rappers, hip-hop singers, 'reaggeton or perreo' (some kind of awful street music from Puerto Rico and the Caribbean). As for the rest... you can go wild with your ideas. It wouldn't matter to me if they look dark or colorful, if they're from the 70's, 80's or 90's; or even if they're already dead. It wouldn't even matter if they're male or female.
Post your favorites along with link to pictures you like from them!
(preferrably full-body pictures + a face shot)
Tip: To really get to it, post also a link to a song or video, it'd really help me get inspired.
I will select 12 from the whole list.
Post away!
