Merry sunny Christmas!

Ho ho Hello,

 In the spirit of Christmas that i grew up with, there was aleayws sun, heat, cold beverages and never once snow or even close to cold weather. This is Rio de Janeiro after all, and even the Christmas that i've spent away from here, i was nowhere near the cold countries, one day though i hope to see a snowy white Christmas, with hot chocolate, using jacket, scarf, gloves, throwing snowballs and everything christimassy there is.

A Merry Christmas to all, and since in Rio there's no snow, I'll share something I drew of something indigenous from our beautiful country.

Cheers!

Speed drawing videos are fun!

Sometimes i spend hours just watching videos of people drawing, and i have always liked the fast foward videos. Finally i decided to make my own video, it's a funny thing to see yourself drawing for the first time, I quite like the result.

So this is the video :

And this is the drawing finished.

It's not perfect with all the details, but i tryed to do the best i could the fastest possible. Anyways, check out the video and hit the lke button you feel it's fair.

The Character is Hades/ Alone from Saint Seiya Lost canvas.

Stages of drawing

Hi everybody,

I came up with a new order in terms of my drawing as of lately, cuz there are many parts and moods  when it comes to drawing. This is not a tutorial of any sort or me telling you, reader, how to do your stuff, rather i'm telling you this is how i'm doing.

The first part is to create the form in which you are expressing your drawing, so basically sketching with simple lines to find your character, the pose you want him, the background, and pretty much use your imagination to explore the various aspects of the drawing before deciding which you like best.

The second part is to define the subject of your drawing, by marking the lines that you choose on a firmer way.

The third part is adding the details, simple minor stuff that make the drawing come out alive.

The fourth is doing the line art and inking to ready it for the final stage.

And finally you get to the part where you color it.

These stages are valid for drawings that go from white paper to a full colored drawings, each of those stages come with diferent moods, and i've been using the most i can from each of them.  If i feel like sketching, i'll get a few papers and sketch as much as i have ideas, then i move on to difining each one of them, i carry on with inking all one by one and at last coloring.

Dividing the stages according to my moods has helped me developing many "projects" at the same time, without getting bored with any of them.

The important thing is to try and draw at least a little bit everyday, in order to improve your skills, find your ways and do it!

Keeping up and back on!!!

Wow it has definitely been a long time since i have done anything on this virtual pages, and while checking my old posts out i kept thinking of the purpose that they served.

Well pretty much since i was a kid i have always thought life was a ride to be cheered and remembered,
I mean, you wanna do many things before you´re off from this journey, and looking back on the things i wrote and the pictures I've taken has always made me nostalgic, through them i´m able to relieve the feeling i had while i went through the experience that culminated in either one of those, more than that i like to be able to tell on my tales of life to my kids and whomever i come to meet in this wonderful thing called life.

I´m a bit faulty i might say, for i have left so many of those moments go by without writing or shoot a pic for the past couple of years compared to how much i used to do when i was travelling by myself, but i intend to regain that part of me from here on, back to same idea i had when i started this blog i need to write down at least on post a week from here on.

A few things that happened after my last post
- I came back to live in my country
- Met the most important person who would come to be my fiancee, and soon to be my wife
- Worked on an oil platform and had the first of many helicopter flights of my life
- Moved on to working as a manager on my field of work
- Left my city RIO DE JANEIRO to live in São Paulo (Which didn´t worked out very well)
- Got to say goodbye to a huge person that meant a lot to me, my grandma, may she rest in peace
- Got to say goodbye to a beautiful companion that was my little Dog Bob

Now i´m back to Rio, unemployed but i have my fiancee (Tati) and i´m living at her house with her awesome family, soon we´ll be renewing a part of the house that is not used to turn it into our place and with all the ideas we have i´m pretty sure is gonna look nice, last but not least as Tati is half japanese she´s been teaching me the language i have most wanted to learn, and in time for when we have our kids to be able to talk to them in all the languages we speak in order for them to be polyglots from child hood hehe.

That´s all for now, feel free to read if you want but this is nothing more than a journal of my life!!!
