Beef Wellington

Hello there,

I've started my treatment for my left arm. It seems I got tendonitis on my shoulder, and now I'm slowly recovering it. I've made some studies, I had to take a break from major illustrations I had in mind... So I didn't do much since my last post but here goes:

traditional:

photo reference:

Screen capture from movies:

\

I just loved the Dark Knight trilogy, that's why.Not finished obviously.

 I loved "man of Steel". Personally I think its the best Superman movie ever made, I've seen every Superman movie and this is by far, the best.

 My favorite movie. "The Pianist ", and my most cherished scene.  I cried like a bitch because I'm a pussy that's why. And now I miss playing piano....I miss terribly... sigh.

each one took near 2 hours to execute.

selfies on the mirror:

Yeah I look always bored. In fact, I'm a boring person. the first went well, but the second I was fed up staring myself on the mirror for so long and my arm was in agony, so I pretty much rushed it. lol

and something something:

first one was with photo reference, a self-portrait from my own photo... I know I can't get enough of myself. the last one it's some doodle, free drawing and stuff.


that's all folks!

Howdy,

I busted my arm. It hurts... What if I won't be able to grab a pencil anymore? what if I stay like this forever...? I think I'm going to start crying.

Ok, I need to take a break more often, and I have to go to a doctor. Sigh, I hate hospitals.

What I've been doing lately:

Speedies with photo ref:

I've started again the 100 faces late snack:

the progress of a speedpainting:

I've entered on a study group, the daily art poop ( http://dailyartpoop.blogspot.pt/) We do daily speedpaintings everyday in 30 minutes via Skype, the theme is always different. Its very good to pratice.

I started to record my progress. I still don't do tutorials, because I don't think if I am capable of, yet. But of course, maybe you can learn some stuff, and if you do... great! I've done a small illustration to test my camtasia:

Here's my first video:

And finally, the contest I've told you on the last post. I've already finished. I won't win, there's so great entries out there, they blew me out of the water, completely. But that's ok, as long I update my official portfolio... I'm very happy, that finally I've made some new fresh update on my portfolio.

work in progress:

Hey guys,

sorry for the last post I did. I think I'll save that personal stuff for my DeviantART account.

Didn't do that much this week, but now, I'm back again and I have to do this as my regular daily basis:


I did this last night, I couldn't sleep at all, and I thought a speedpainting should do the trick, by getting sleepy. Because we all know that work can get us sleepy, but at the end I remembered that I never considered this as "WORK", much on the contrary, I found it so pleasing and of course my plans of getting sleepy didn't work.

I'm participating on CHOW ( Character of the Week on ConceptART.org ). I'm planning to do the far right, the preggy lady. 

 A commission I did on the left. And from the right some sillyness, a self-portrait of moi.

Stay tuned for moar.

Yo!


What is up, guys? The full-time rest week is almost over, and I still feel I'm half way recovered. 62% system recovered after the critical error. Anyways in the meanwhile I've already made my "to do" list, just to keep me on track. As the strong Aries woman that I am, I'm determined to rock the pencils, and improve my skills. It's a need. So I wrote a list so that I won't get lost on what to study next:

(argh my hand writting is hideous! I was trying to make like the girly bloggers I used to follow... I guess I'm not that girly. and notice the inclination to the left. hahaha I suck. and that's enough bashing about my sucky handwriting.)

I did another list, the original was in Portuguese and it was way worst than this (yeah, can you believe it, this isn't my worst). If you still can't understand, its a list of about what I should study everyday, to get my drawing skills improved. I will keep you guys updated anyway.

On my daily walks I was surprised by this lovely sunset. Yeah, I took this with my phone. I feel terrible for not bringing my professional camera. What a lousy tourist I am.

my favourite spot to draw:

 Some sketches... Don't worry, next time I will dedicate a page full of testosterone for you, guys. This was inspired on my favourite daily bloggers, Kayla and Elicia. They are gourgeous and their blog is addicting.

Yeah... Can you believe there's still people like that?

Still filling the page. Argh the quality sucks. Don't mind the naked lady.

Sorry for the bad quality photos. I have a valuable excuse. My laptop won't let me install Photoshop Cs6, because the software is out of date. I'm forced to get an update in order to get the latest Photoshop (because I'm a spoiled brat, that's why) and for that I need to BUY the update then BUY the OS (I'm going for Mountain Lion OS )...

I feel like Michael Corleone when he discovered that Fredo was betraying him in the Godfather II movie.:

"*MUAH, MUAH...!* you broke my heart, Apple. You. Broke. My. Heart."

 my older sister is spoiling me...:

Tattoo fully healed. Self pic cam teeny whore for the win. It's so funny when I get to see teenagers doing self pictures with their camera following with infinite tags. #me #hot #bangme #doIlookHot? #saythati'mbeautifull #Ihavelowself-esteemthat'swhyIpostselfpics. Or maybe I'm old and I'm starting not getting the youngsters  nowadays. *sigh*

Haha, another picture of me in my blog. I'm getting used to this! 

 

take care now, bye bye then.

Pee Ass - What's with the new look on the blog? It's Springtime duh!

Heya,

There's not much to tell. So, when I read this blog I forgot to post the last artworks I've done so far. Well here they are.

 An old remake. from Erotica Project. The difference between the two, this  one is coloured, and she's dressed properly. huhuhu

Sanji Sasaki, my alter-ego, can you believe that she exists about 15 years? I made her when I was in the 5th grade. And no, I didn't take her name from Sanji from "One Piece", and her looks from Lara Croft. She existed waaaay before them. Actually she was inspired on Chun-li my official First girl Crush.

Today I visited an old friend. Tica... I missed her so much! wow, this is the first time I post a real picture of me on this blog...And  damn wouldn't you hit that or what? I would :) ... I'm the one in the right in case you didn't notice. Obviously.

I really hope I could make more Artworks to make myself proud. Again.

Ciao!
