Some non-important stuff I do when I have some minutes. Personally I don't like any of them :S

I spent two hours on each. I'm trying to return to the rhythm.

Because now I have much less time to draw and paint, I'll just post whatever i have for the day, finished or not. This one was just for me to try a way of using brushes that I'm not used to.

A slow but steady comeback!! Hail to all the comic geeks :D:D:D

I wonder if it bites...

I haven't post for a while. So here's my first attempt at the Chow competition of this past week on the conceptart.org site. I didn t have much time and I did really bad on this one, so in the end, i just threw a shameless lens flare right in the middle so no one could stare at it for long :D so here's 'Atomic, the man of the Atom', or, like his wicked enemies call him, here's 'Mr Golden Pants'.

This one is a frustration. I don't like to leave them halfway but I really want to work on a certain style right now, and this one is delaying me a bit. I should be working on something else. I'll leave this one as it is and I'll probably come back to it later. So for now, this is a work in progress.

I'm going fairy tale :S One more step towards one of the things I want to do well.

Here's the first from the next hundred. Karaté Time!!

YEYY!!! - 100th POST!!! - It's almost a year since I started this blog and I'm quite happy to see how much I upgraded my drawing and my painting skills since. Although it is still far away from where I want to get, the progress is happening and that's what I want most. That, and to enjoy the ride :D I have to thank all my friends that help me to progress, specially Ben Ho that always find time to give me some wisdom. ROCK ON!! Anyway, my birthday was last Sunday and me and my girlfriend went to the river and did some canoeing with some friends at night. The moon was there, millions of stars, and it felt like it should always be. So yeah, this one is cheesy all the way :D :D :D

I'm quite happy with this one, mostly because it was made in about 2 hours :D

And here's something I want to start trying more often. Weird but enjoyable.

More thumb tries. Not as good as the previous one I think, but I'm trying to do stuff that I'm not confortable with, so is all good I guess. I do think the one from the top is an improvement from the lower one. Have to keep going.

Not happy at all with this one. Too much time and too much work for a not so good result :S have to do more exercises.

These next pages are from a comic book I was doing some years ago and that never got finished. I was going through the old stuff and decided to colour one page just for the fun of it. I think some of my drawing was better then. I think the colouring is not a good one but I don't really know how to make it better. Any tip is welcome.

Some enviroments sketchs trying some new technique. I wish I could get better at this stuff:S

just a layout sketch. have to do more.

Inspired by a friends work. Amazing what just being around creative people can do for me.

just trying a new aproach. this is just a bad doodle. why do I keep forgeting that without a good drawing as a base there's no such thing as a good painting.

More of the same. 20 to 30 minutes each.

20 minutes exercises from Space Odyssey.

I think I'm going drag.

I should try a couple of these per day to see if I can improve this kind of thing because right now they suck. I do them thumbnail size.

The background leaves me frustrated. But I wanted to finish it in one day so, here it is as it is.

Another sketch from the last few days that got a bit pretentious and made me finish it off. Like in the previous one I just tried to fill in the background.

I don't think that it is as good as the previous two or three. It just started as a sketch and then I kinda forced myself to finish it. I have to get used to plan more what I'm going to paint.

One more step on the long road. At least I think I'm understanding better what I have to do. Even if I'm unable to do it :)
