NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Finally finished my work after days and days of hard work!!!!! I'd never done such a complex watercolor and I hope you guys enjoy it...
I have a special love for the city of New York since I lived there for two years, and I'll be giving this watercolor to my mother, who was the person that took us there in the first place and she is the number one fan of the city!!!!
Under my painting, I'll post the one I based mine on, in order to get colors, posters and buildings right. Although at first it might look completely the same, there are a bunch of differences, starting from the point of view (mine is situated higher, as if you saw the scene clinging to then top of a lamp post like in the film Crocodile Dundee) and of course, the colors. :)

 

Pen drawings

I've been busy with my last masterpiece: NeW YorKs' Times Square in watercolor!!!! I'm still working on it and you can't imagine how much patience and work one needs to put into a scene full of color, lights, posters, cars, people, buildings etc. I'll hopefully finish it this week and I'll do a post just for it. :)
In the meantime I'll leave you here with a few of my quick pen characters...

 

 

SEAHORSE



 

Officially started my summer vacations!!!!! With the end-of-term exams over, the Selectividad over as well ( Selectividad is the official exam we do here in Spain to get accepted in public universities) and not having to attend school, I'll have more time to paint, draw and dedicate to the blog :)    

        



 Today I'll continue with my under-the-sea theme I started with the hermit crab from my previous post (http://luloleloco.blogspot.com/2013/05/mr-hermit-crab.html ) This time though, it's a seahorse, and I also created him from a few scribbles which I then looked carefully and my imagination did the rest, adding all the details and missing parts so that everyone sees the seahorse and it's not just me. Anyway I'll have to confess that at first it was intended to be a crocodile but then I thought it would do better as a seahorse and that's how he stayed.

 

Mr. Hermit Crab

 

Hi everyone!!!!!

 

This is my friendly Hermit crab I did the other day. This character is 100% mine, not copied from anywhere!!! I started with a little scribble that turned into the shell  and then I added the crab...what do you think???? like it????
P.D: Have a great weekend!!! :)

 

Practicing drawing skills

Hi guys!! I've lately started to get very interested in animation and animation characters. Being Disney the " big monster of animation" I put my drawing skills and knowledge into drawing some of my personal favorite Disney characters. Although I prefer to make up my own characters and not just copy, I think it's a very useful thing to do in order to get better at drawing. I've also created some new drawings of my own recently that I'll be posting later this week.
Would love to have some feedback, thoughts suggestions etc.
 Anyways, here they are:

And in more detail:

Hope you enjoyed them!! ;)
