Indonesia is a muslim country , even so, you can find an interesting mixture of hindu- buddhist beliefs and coexisting gods including the native ones. I found this interesting small temple on a rock nearby to Batu Bolong beach. Asking natives told me locals give offerins to this small temples to prevent bad spirits to come to the house. #travelandsketch . . . . . . . . . . #sketchandtravel #sketch #painting #painter #artistonistagram #artist #dessin #photoshop #wacom #visualdevelopment #visdev #colors #drawing #light #lighting #sunset #water #sea #bali #indonesia #batubolong #beach #temple #barong #java #island #beliefs #travel #traveling #backpacker #rock (en Bali, Indonesia)

I made this one based on the blend of traffic, nature and occluded stuff I found at yakarta - indonesia last week. Its a rough city, close in a lot of ways to Bogotá. Definitely grateful this travel started there. . . . . . . . . . . . . #jakarta #indonesia #java #javaisland #illustration #visualdevelopment #visdev #travellife #travelandsketch #sketch #sketchandtravel #color #colour #lighting #light #sunset #traffic #wuarung #tuktuk #cars #street #asia #urban #urbansketch #vegetation #city #citylife #artistonistagram #artist #drawing (en Jakarta, Indonesia)

On the past weeks I've been struggling  to re learn how to animate, and specially to check how build the on-development characters. I did it within a personal project of redesign and visual development based on Lords of Dogstown, and a stylized vision of that universe. Solid drawing, keeping masses, and achieve a fluid scene was my major goal. Many, many hours of work, correct , redraw multiple times, frustration, satisfaction and still finding mistakes that I would like to fix is an accurate summary of the process of this animation  Durante las ultimas semanas he intentado re aprender a animar y especialmente revisar como mejorar la construcción de los personajes que sigo desarrollando.Lo hice dentro de un proyecto de rediseño y desarrollo visual basado en Lords of Dogtown, y una vision estilizada de ese universo. El dibujo tridimensional, mantener las masas y sobre todo hacer que fuera una escena fluida era mi intención. Muchas, muchas horas de trabajo, corregir y redibujar multiples veces, frustración, satisfacción y hasta hoy seguir encontrando errores que quisiera mejorar, es una forma de definir el proceso de esta animación.

An illustration I finish last week that started as a concert flyer but end up being a piece and excuse to push and practice shapes and composition

A year ago I started to do historical portrait reproductions, mainly to study light and color palette from old masters but then I realized how relaxing and straight forward the process was. Nailing colors is never easy but given is a visual excercise actually brings tons of peace. Done in 4 hours . . . . #gouache #gouachepainting #traditional #traditionalpainting #color #portrait #davinci #monalisa #retrato #pintura #brush #artist
