Clara, Fernando and little Ian

This past month I haven’t had much time to work on my caricatures. I finally finished this one of my very best friends Clara, Fernando and little Ian. This one is three caricatures in one, so it covers a few posts. ;)

Tia Susana

She is my aunt Susana. I had a very good picture, I think this is very important when doing a caricature, specially for the render and colors.

She is very funny. I miss her very much. I haven´t seen her since we moved to Canada and she moved to Spain four years ago.

My brother Héctor


Yep, here is my own version of my brother Héctor, he has a tricky smile a little hard to capture. However, I think I got it.

coloring my nephew's drawing


My nephew, Juan Diego, is 4 years old and LOVES to draw. He has an obsession with super-heroes and cartoons. A few days ago my brother showed me his version of Robin (or Tobin?) I decided to color it as a warm up exercise this morning. I think he (JD) is very good for his age, look at the details in the uniform. The proportions are not too bad at all. I hope he doesn’t loose his passion and keep drawing. I will encourage him a lot.

Spotlight in Bobby Chiu's Imaginism Studios

I met Bobby Chiu around 4 months ago (July 2008). He not only is an amazing artist, but also a very nice person willing to help you and teach you how to improve your art. This week he surprised me with a small (but very important for me) note about my art, my improvement and my hard work. You probable came from Bobby’s blog, but if don't, you can check it on the link below. Just don’t forget to come back. ;)

Thanks Bobby.

La Nenita!!!

Well, she’s my mom. This has been the hardest I’ve ever done. I don’t know how many sketches I made. I tried different approaches, but I wasn’t happy with it. Finally a little help form a great artist, who showed me a little thumbnail with his thought was enough to start painting, and after a couple of tries this one came out. I’m very happy with the result.

This was the sketch that helped me a lot. Thanks man!

Albus Dumbledore

Albus Dumbledore (actor: Michael Gambon)

I’m really impressed with the improvement I have had in just a few months. I started digita painting this year. Looking at my very first post here, that was one of my fists paintings, makes me feel very good...and there is still a lot more to improve...

Lets go 3D

It is not always about painting. Sculpting has been something that I find very fascinating. And ones again thanks to the Internet, I found out the name of some materials and the procedure of sculpting, and then it is just learning from the mistakes. Here are my first little sculptures that where made especially for my friends.

Serenata Guayanesa


This is one of my favorite Venezuelan groups “Serenata Guayanesa”. They play traditional Venezuelan music especially for kids. I grow up listen to them and I still do it. One day I’ll put some color on it.
