Hello my dear people! Art school is now over. I have been taking some time off resting from the late nights sleeping and playing No More Heroes on wii; I love it! I have been arranging some figuredrawing sessions with a friend and my gf for next week, I wanna get back in shape with my live digital skills but also I have ordered 10 blank skateboards for a potential next batch of oil painted decks. Also I might do some Live digital painting demo videos and perhaps sell them on here. I will also resume my Maya classes with Eduardo Chavez. Over all I have decided to use this time to enhance my portfolio with personal work, which I couldn't do when I had school works sucking up all my spare time. hope you guys enjoy the holidays and have a terrific time with your family and loved ones!

Yeah I'm still finishing my last 2 paintings of the semester. I've embedded the ustream player in the right so if you got good timing you can check me out painting or just pretty much just walk around all day long! 

Just a doodling around

As you may or may not know there was a little accident with the big blue painting, it fell and ripped, thankfully it was a little one and so it is now fixed thanks to my ex drawing teacher Carla Palma. I haven't finished yet! I had it on hold while things were getting fixed I started the 2nd Painting. Here they are on their current stages:

Sketch for the second painting.

Saved these from the local art gallery here in Lima. These are the last 2 skates from the batch of 7. I want to get rid of them so if you email me I will give you a special discount! Cheers!!!

Now most of the game is in the bg and some parts of the legs. I'm so glad it's all shaping up.

I bet you are getting sick of this painting!!! I'm sorry it's really taking me a while, but I'm making sure I got the details just like I want them. I always wanted to do a painting this big and I will try my best to make it as epic as possible! Also, the camera I have at the moment really sucks up with the colors for a reason it's not even close to what the real thing is. This last pic was taking with a friend's handheld and it's the nicest one I've seen so far. I'm saving up for the new Canon 7D (which means I couldn't get the Mark II, thank god) and now this this one is coming cheaper and perhaps with some better features than the ladder one I will keep saving till I get it.

Yes! I got it today I will try and take my netbook to school to do some life digital studies like the good old days. The painting is going I just needed to do something to refresh a bit from it. I tried to unrust myself with these drawings since I haven't been drawing in a bit I dunno if I did it successfully, you tell me.
