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. :)

 

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!!! :)

 

I LOVE Greece

 

I did this painting a few months ago, after visiting Greece last summer. It's based on a watercolour I found on the internet. I'm guessing it's Santorini but i'm not quite sure,it could be any small, white greek village.I didn't do the painting directly from my own photos because i didn't have the chance to take many and i went there with a horrible camera so nothing good came out... I'm sorry i coudn't take a better picture of the painting, but it reflected light no matter how or where you took the picture!!! :)

Watercolour Owl

Hi! it's been a while since i posted anything because i've been kind of busy. Anyway, i've just finished a watercolour owl which i think turned out quite nicely. I will be giving it as a present to a friend of mine that has been waiting for her birthday present for a year and a half..... Hope you ENJOY IT(and hope she does to because after all the waiting she must think i forgot all about her)! :)

 

Lighthouse painting

Today i'm just posting another of my paintings. This one is based on a photograph i found browsing around the web. I think that this painting is one of those paintings that are nicer in real life than in photographs... It was a gift for my parents and i personally like it.do you??? :)

Famous Cheshire Cat.

P.D:who doesn' adore this crazy cat??? You do remember from which story he comes from...right??

Pop icon!

Today i've got to share my latest creation with you. It's a painting i've done in my art class for a little competition they are holding. They said that the painting had to be a relatively famous portrait but you had to "substitute" his or her face with yours.....
I had a great time painting it,althought at first I didn't want to participate (I was afraid of what would come out of it!!!) I finally decided to participate (Actually,the teacher didn't give me an option) and I went on to choose the portrait I would use for this project. I ended up choosing Andrew Warhols' portrait of Michael Jackson (Don't ask me why because i've got no idea ) It was hard trying to maintain the "Michael Jackson look" while trying to make him look like me, but I finally more or less achived it.
If you don't know the actual portrait here it is:

 

I'm sure you all know who Andrew Warhol is because he is the "father" of pop art and a very famous american artist.

Anyway, I've turned myself into Michael Jackson. I might not sing or dance as well as he did but I could also be a pop icon ;) Don't believe me??? Haha well here's the proof:

 

 

 

Elephant OBSESSION!

Exactly,that's what I have!!!! I absolutely adore these majestic,humangeous and intelligent creatures,being elephants one of my symbols of identity. If you where to get all of my drawings,doodles,paintings etc. more than 30% would have an elephant as the main subject.
Being that said, I'll put here two I'm especially fond of-

1.I call this the Psychodellic elephant,and it´s one of my personal favourites.It's a watercolor and i've already done a few others with other colors tht i've given to friends and family and the outcome was just as satisfactory.

 2.This is a painting I did for a friend.It was her birthday present and it's actually a vey close replica of an already existing artwork from an artist whose name I don't know.

 

Doodles-with-a-meaning 4)

Hi! I finally ended my exams so i'm free again!what a relief!!Anyway, these are my last two doodles-with-a-meaning even though their meaning is much more superficial than the other ones in older posts(go check them out).I hope you enjoy them ;)

I don't know if this happens to you,but I absolutely

hate it!                                                                      

I love this fish,he makes me laugh!

hEY!!!how's everything??Today i'm just posting a quick doodle i made in class the other day. I hope you like it and, if you know my teacher, please don't show him this. I'm guessing that it will NOT  make him very happy.... ;)

DOODLES with a meaning! 1)

 



They say that a picture worths more than a million words,but how much's worth a picture with words???For the next few days, i will be posting these quick little drawings-with-a-meaning.

NOTE:Some have more "profound" meaning than others.                                                       

Here are the first two: 

 

 

D00DLES!

Hi! Today I leave you with a few doodles I've cut out from my class notebooks.They show just how intresting and useful a Philosophy,English or Spanish class can really be.....HAHA well actually, although it may sound a bit wierd, doodling in class helps me concentrate better.

 

 

 What do you think about them??? :)
 

Me,myself & I ;)

I'll start by introducing myself although I will make it as short as possible in order to not bore you too much.

My name is Luis and I am from Spain and,while I lived in the USA for two years, I excuse myself for all the possible linguistic mistakes you may find here (Anyway,I hope there will not be many :) ) I want to study architecture and I am proud to announce that I got accepted in Oxford Brookes University so i might end up studying architecture there!!!!
For this first post, i would like to share with you the portfolio I presented in my application to the university. I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!!!!!Please tell me if you do,and wich works you think are the best and the worst.
