Blonde

I have been drawing a lot of male form lately and I thought to spice it up a little with a girl. I used alot of reference photos of models and it came out pretty good specially around the mouth and nose. It has a retro 60's look to it in my opinion. :P

Summer time!

So I have been interested in drawing guys because they are harder for me to draw so the harder the drawing , better the challenge. So happy about this one it really is just a suntan guy having fun in the sun at the beach with his board ready to surf! the background with the palmtrees was a really cool touch. pretty sweet!

On top of the world!

I have been stretching my time a little to thin.
Between mixing some sets... o by the way I also mix set of music.. mostly electronic house progressive music (club tunes).... you can check my music here, it can even be downloaded http://soundcloud.com/racaspe
Well getting back to the drawing I have been trying to become a better artist and for that I`ve been taking some classes, yet everywhere I turn they keep telling me the same things. one is practice drawing anything and everything you can get you hands on and draw things outside your comfort zone. That means push yourself as an artist. On this particular drawing I tried things I am not very good (yet) which is a different pose and background, never done either of them. And actually I believe it turned out pretty ok. I had a lot of fun with the buildings.

Making of a cyborg

I was drawn on a very young age to japanese animation, and was surprised with anime and how the drawings came alive on the tv screen with such dinamic movement.
One of my favorite anime is Ghost in the shell, not only because this is one of many films that pushed animation in a whole new direction. But because the theme was not about warriors gaining magic and defeating the enemy or about a mecha ( robot) that had a guy inside riding it, creating havoc all over the world and defeating giant lizards.
It was more about the question.. do you have a soul? how do you know it exists? if you can´t see it with you eyes how can yoou know it´s there?
So that blew my mind away and the conceptual art an scenematic view of GIDS (Ghost in the shell) has no words!
I became interested in the way they fused somethind so organic like the human body and machines and circuits and metal. Naturally I like to draw that clash of machine with living things. And let me tell you it is haaarrddd! not an easy piece and I think that I need to improve my coloring but you know what they say practice makes perfect. enjoy!

This is the second Jean Grey drawing, is based on the costume that she wore before she became phoenix I really like it is very 70's style the belt is at the hip and the v-neck cleavage is amazing. I really like how it turn out the whole movie like background , which by the way was an experiment that turned out really well. Anyway enjoy!

From the ashes pheonix!

From the ashes the phoenix rises only to be reborn again! one of the most famous comic arc in the x-men history. Jean grey is one of my favorite comic book characters I really like her and her whole transformation when she became phoenix. This is my version of her I really like how it turned out.

The guy

I had a really good response with this picture even do this was only a practice for light and how to do shadows but I am excited with the result which is a wonderful combination. enjoy!
