Hello everybody! Sorry for not really posting that often, but I'm hoping I'll get some more spare time now, because I really want to work on my personal projects.

But for now, I though I should post my last 2D piece I made at the Imaginism In-House Workshop i took in June this year. I'll be posting soon about my experience in the Workshop.

I hope you like it. 
Thanks for reading!

Red Temptation (Excercise)

Hi everyone!

This post is to hopefully committing and posting a lot more often.

My purpose and objective is to really commit to practicing and improving my art level for all art forms I love doing really. Being sketching, drawing, painting, sculpting (real life and 3D sculpting) and anything in between. And at the same time, receiving feedback to have a better view of all angles to how I can improve.

To restart my posts in my sketchbook, I’ve decided to finish this piece. It was originally an exercise from a seminar I attended in Mexico called “Objective, Hollywood: the 10 techniques used in visual effects for the film industry”. Basically the goal of this exercise was to try and achieve realism, painting from a photo reference as a guide and try to get it as close to the real photo as possible. This was made in Photoshop.

I know it’s not the most amazing piece, nor the most original thing out there (the original picture has been seen so many times all over the place). But I decided I should finish what I’ve started, and start like that with all other projects that I’ve left pending overtime. And then from there pick it up and do more ambitious projects one step at a time.

C&C are most welcome.

Thanks for reading.
Cheers!

How to Draw and Paint Sci-Fi Book Is Out!!

After a long time and hard work, my good friend and wonderful artist, Geoff Taylor, has accomplished a great achievement. He has finished his first book “How to Draw and Paint Science Fiction.” And it’s now available:
“I spent the bulk of 2010 writing and illustrating an instructional art book for Barron’s Publishing. I’m happy to say the book is available for pre-order online, and will hit shelves in early October! Should be available at Chapters and most art supply stores. It was a great experience- big thanks to all the artists who contributed!!!”

It is a complete course in building your own futurescapes and characters .

I was flattered to be asked to contribute to the book  with a render of my Alien “Princess Zoethomae“. Which made part of the Anatomy section of the book.

I’m pretty excited for Geoff, and whish him great success with his new book.

Thanks for reading!
