Forever in doubt

with 8 comments

This is an illustration I did last year for an exhibition. The topic was “Free Love” and my intention was to portray the feeling of freedom that love can give you. I imagined that those touched by love would float above others less fortunate.
After different tryouts, I eventually narrowed it down to 3 possibilities. And I finally picked the first one. I still wonder if I did right…
Esta ilustración la hice el año pasado para una exposición. La temática era “Amor Libre” y mi intención fue reflejar la sensación de libertad que el amor puede proporcionar. Imaginé a aquellos tocados por el amor flotando por encima de otros menos afortunados.
Después de varias pruebas, finalmente reduje las opciones a 3. Y terminé decidiéndome por la primera. Aún me pregunto si hice bien…

One of the girls missing from the previous post. This time my girlfriend once again helped for inspiration. There will be 8 in total. When they appear on the magazine, I´ll post a photo :)
Ésta es una de las chicas que faltaban en el post anterior. Esta vez mi chica sirvió una vez más de inspiración. En total serán 8. Cuando salga publicada la revista, postearé una foto :)

I´m currently working on a series of illustrations portraying different (stereo)types of women. Here´s a little all mixed up sample of the work in progress.

Plastic Fashion

with 4 comments

Just before posting this illustration, a commission for a fashion magazine, I suddenly realized I had to give it a title… and the first thing that came to my mind was that old Cure song, Plastic Passion: “Plastic passion is a gold guarantee, plastic passion is murdering me…”
Justo antes de postear esta ilustración, un encargo para una revista de tendencias, me dí cuenta de que tenía que ponerle un título… y la primera cosa que se me vino a la cabeza fue una antigua canción de The Cure, Plastic Passion: “Plastic passion is a gold guarantee, plastic passion is murdering me…”

Shooting Bear

A few days ago I posted a t-shirt design I did for a film festival. Well, this is one of the proposals that didn´t go forward.
Hace unos días posteé un diseño para camiseta para un festival de cine. Bien, ésta fue una de las propuestas rechazadas.

Illustration Process

without comments

As I hinted on my previous post, I believe having already my own portfolio site, this blog has to show unseen bits and pieces of my work.
So I´m posting my basic process of work when I´m commissioned an illustration: sketch, rough coloring to show the client and final version. Obviously there´s a lot of work before, during and after what is shown!
Como ya comenté en el post anterior, ya que ya tengo una web con ilustraciones, este blog debería mostrar partes “ocultas” de mi trabajo.
Así que aquí tenéis un proceso simplificado de trabajo cuando recibo un encargo: boceto, coloreado básico para enseñar al cliente y la versión final. Obviamente hay mucho más trabajo antes, durante y después de lo que véis!

I thought I would show something I don´t usually show, that is, an unfinished illustration.
He pensado que mostraría algo que normalmente no muestro: una ilustración por terminar.


This will be the cover illustration for an educational project on electronic music. Quite a lot of things have still to be changed, especially those regarding the equipment. I´m no dj and I just put a few gadgets together for the sketch…
Esta será la portada para un proyecto educativo de música electrónica. Aún tengo que cambiar bastantes cosas, sobretodo los detalles del equipo. No tengo nada de dj y simplemente me limité a unir unos cuantos aparatos para el boceto…

Recently I was asked to customize a paper toy. I had so much fun doing it, I decided to do 3 and “The Take Aways” were born.
