Hello!
Long time ago without without writing here. I don't know if anyone still read this blog. Anyway, I'd like to share my new illustration, it took a time but I learnt some good stuffs from this drawing. Specially, pay more attention to details. That's something very very important, because when you pay attention to even the smallest detail it means you are growing as an artist and you are creating something more meaningful for you, and probably someone is going to notice that, perhaps not, but believe me you are going to have significative advances in your artwork.
So everytime you wanna sketch, first think what you want to draw, think carefully on a list about every detail you wanna see in your drawing, read something related at your idea, search some references and only after that start to sketch, probably it's going to take you some days and it doesn't matter because you will have a well founded idea for your drawing.

It took me sometime to complete this drawing, there were several several inconvenients, but here it is and I have more ideas related to this drawing, that I'm working right now.

The concept for this drawing is "Disconnecting a little is always good."
You will see why in the next part.

I'll see you soon.

Hello I'm back. It took me awhile to come back mainly due an a electricity problem within the installation, finally solved. Well, as you seen I've been  trying a new style in my works, it has not been so easy, but I have been learning lots. Specially about perspective, and Human Anatomy. What I can say,  "Practicing is the only way to improve skills." To make an sketch book is a great way to start. I really really recommend to watch the last two videos of FZDSCHOOL in youtube. It's really helpful if you want to improve your sketching.

"One fine day" it's an illustration about the joy of do something you like, learn new stuff.
It's an illustration I enjoyed, it had many challenges and I guess in someway I solved.

Now I have to solve a bigger challenge, to get a job doing what I like the most. I'd wish to have confidence to say I'm going to make it, but during those years I lost my confidence. I just know I'm not going to surrender and keep doing my best.

Well, tomorrow will be a good day to sketching.

*Those images are part of a process for a new sketch.*

Well recently I have been working in a new sketch. I have something really raw. haha but then I worked a little bit my idea on blender. And I got what I wanted,  at less is pretty close of my main idea. I had some issues with electricity (watch my twitter for more details: https://twitter.com/mariadrawss
And finally I finished my sketch in blender and now it's time to draw in photoshop.
For me blender has been pretty useful to establish the elements that I see in my imagination. It's always good to learn something new.
So if you have some struggles with perspective, blender is a good choice to have a better understanding of perspective. Well at less in my case it has been very useful. But even this is just a tool to learn, it's not to use forever, just until you have confidence to use perspective freely.

Don't give up and keep trying until you reach your goals. Practice is the only way to improve your skills.

I started this drawing some months ago, and the journey to this point was difficult. I never thought it could take so long.  Mainly my health was a big problem, but fortunately my health has been improving. Also my computer broke down several times, recently I could make some changes and now it's working perfectly fine. The last year was a hard year for me, I couldn't work for a long time.
I'm really grateful my dad was always supporting me. He is an awesome dad. I love him so much!!!

Life came with good and bad things so, we have the choice to accept and learn from a bad experience or take it really bad and complain. I decided learn from this experience and go ahead.

Let's go to the part where I talk about the process of this drawing. First of all, this drawing was directed by Pedro Corro from the company Unthinkable! (follow him and also the staff of Unthinkable! at -->  @UnthinkableEnt ), Pedro was a big support for me during this time, I really think he's as a great friend and teacher. If you're reading this: Thank You Pedro. :)  I also recived some advices from Benika Yamamoto and Alan a.k.a @ByTrota. They were a big help in this task. They told me about the things I needed to change and learn to improve my drawings.



Produce this illustration was a big challenge: Time, health and improve skills.
I realize that 3D can be very useful for perspective during the sketching stage, that's why I learnt a little bit how to use Blender. It's a great software and I'm looking forward to learn more about 3D modeling. It's really interesting.

During the process I lost almost everything in myself, confidence, faith, happiness and health. But also in the process I recovered myself in a more positive way. This drawing means everything I lived during those months, that's why I called it "JOY", because in the end I rediscovered the joy and color in my life. 

I'm glad to see the final result, I realize that everything was worth it just to see how it ended. Now I'm very sure, this is just the beginning of something good.
Well, it's time to work in a new project.

                                                      (My current Work in progress.)

Thank you very much to the people who still visit my blog. I really appreciate your support. I'm so sorry I have been not able to update my blog during a long time.

I have been working in a new drawing, but it has taken a lot of time produce this drawing. Because this year was a really difficult for me and my family. I was sick almost the half of the year.  And then I fell. (LOL).😂😂😂 I fell and hurt my head, hands, knees, lower abdomen. It was ridiculous how a simple "fall" became in something serious. I still have marks in my knees and my lower abdomen.
Conclusion: I'm not going to run again in my life. 😆End of story. haha

My computer broke down several times. Finally it was fixed, now it has a ram of 14 GB. The power source was changed two times. It was formatted like three times. My monitor broke down too. At the beggining I thought it was only the power button, but it was not, so I had to buy a new monitor. (HP btw). At the end it was something natural, because my computer has like 7 years of use. So it was necessary to fix some stuff.

And  there is a long list about all the things happened to me during the year.
I'm not here to complain, but while I was thinking about all that happened during 2017, I notice I'm not the same person who began this year. I have grown up as a person and as an artist. (*You all have to see my new drawing.) 😊

I learn to surrender and have patience. To understand that it's not bad luck, but life comes with good and bad things.

2017 it has not been the best year of my life, but it was an important year and I think I will not forget the teachings of this year.

If you are reading this and you feel like it wasn't an awesome year but instead it was full of complications, let me tell you that this kind of moments make us change as persons and it's your decision how you take this chance to make something different and better. I'm not telling you are going to change the world, but your world will change and probably it will be a little bit better than before. Because I'm sure you will not take the same decisions you would took before to start this year.
Surely you will think twice before speak and act.

And my friends, that will guide you to become a better version of you. And for sure 2018 will be an awesome year.  I wish you all a wonderful 2018 full of success but overall a healthy one.
This is what i think: "if you are not healthy yo can't work and do what you like to do, and that sucks." Really, it sucks! 😭😭😭

So take care and I hope to keep in touch through this blog and my social medias like Artstation, Twitter and Instagram. I'm not a big fan of Facebook, I have an account but I hardly use it anymore. I'll be drawing more, that's for sure.
And say Hi! I don't bite.😄

It's been a long time since I have posted my last drawing, I have to say  these months were really hard for me,  some health problems, my pc got broken, lack of job and also I fallen and I had several wounds, and it took me a long time for drawing again.

I think this time was important to me (despite all above said), because  I had some time to learn new stuff, read books, watch videos about concept art and in some way improve a little bit my drawings (practice, practice and more practice), but over all it was a time to reconect with the joy to draw.

So here I am again,  sharing my works and enjoying more of being alive.

Stay tuned to this space, I'll try to update often. :)

Thanks for being here reading this post. :D
