Day 1: "Groove billed ani"

This year I have decided to practice new things, and also recover some others that I've not done for many years, such as taking pencils and making more realistic notes, which I also really like the most classic drawing (it also has to do with the fact that I have been looking at old drawings of college years, horror and love in equal parts). I feel rusty with traditional techniques!! That's why this month I wanted to join the #birbfest, a challenge created by birdietam.art and organized this year by monkeymintaka. I'm already late, I don't have the goal of doing absolutely everything on a daily basis (I don't want to end up causing another burnout) the goal is enjoying and having a good time, making a drawing a day to warm up and sharing my process with everyone, and discovering every day what comes out. Live for a little hour in simpler times!

Goodbye 2023, a year of anxiety, of necessary breakups, of physical and emotional pain, of great changes, of learning. Also a year of goals and dreams fulfilled, familiar, of heartwarmth, and with that I will stay. So I welcome the new year expectantly, with enthusiasm, wanting to work hard on a beautiful path forward.

💫 Welcome 2024 💫

Happy New Year everyone, thank you for joining me on the path ♥️

Merry Christmas! 💫🎄

I wish you much happiness, love and health, and that you spend these holidays with those you love most, with these little birds with scarves that I made ❤️

You should have thought twice before entering this forest…

With you, Chi the devil 😈

This is the process of creating one of the shots of “Lavanda”. I have always loved seeing this type of process, where you see the movement being born and where everything comes to life in the end, although my favorite part of each job is always the sketch 🌟

The cold is already starting to set in and the night comes much earlier: it's my favorite part of the year. Join me this November afternoon with a warm coffee as I create my Illustration for this year's Halloween 🖤🎃

Smell of dew, seeds in the air… a strange couple walks through the cotton flower forest.

Happy Halloween. The dark half of the year has arrived 🎃🌑

I didn't want to miss out on welcoming my favorite part of the year!

Before starting the animation of "Lavanda" I did this turnaround to explore the character from all her angles, get to know her well, and have her as a reference to animate. I have put all the parts of the process, I hope you like it!

Lavanda

“Lavanda” is an intimate story, in which we witness the end of a long journey undertaken by a witch in the search for the ancient knowledge necessary to bring her spirit animal back to life. 

"Lavanda" is also my final project for the 2D animation master's degree at Trazos School of Digital Arts. In it I have developed each of the processes: storyboard, animatics, character design, backgrounds and props, animation, clean up, color and assembly.

It's a very personal work done with a lot of effort, love and enthusiasm, I hope you like it ♥

The Witchgoat

Do you hear bells on the moor? Better run and hide.

This is a little animation I made in Toon Boom Harmony during my master in 2D animation at Trazos School of Digital Arts. Hope you like it! ♥

September sunset in the swamp

Shhh! If you don't make noise you can enjoy the life of the swamp that is hidden behind that hill...

These little frogs are part of an exercise in the master's degree in 2D animation with Toon Boom that I did at Trazos School of Digital Art this 2023 ♥

This afternoon at 6:00 p.m. in the Canary Islands I will be participating in a live with @saloncomic within the Meetings with Authors organized around the "Illustradoras & Illustradas 3" exhibition, which can be visited in the art room of Parlamento de Canarias.

We will be chatting about various things from @saloncomic's Facebook Live, I'm excited!

Ostara.

Bringer of spring, dawn, light and rebirth. On this equinox, light and darkness equalize.

Around here, although the seasons do not differ much, spring is already beginning to be noticed.

Little things I'm working on, I'll show them soon!

My first embroidery!

I learned as a traditional artist, but in the last 10 years my work has been almost entirely digital. The feeling of rediscovering myself with manual processes has been wonderful: looking for the materials, stretching the fabric, choosing the colors, choosing the place for each stitch, treating the frame, sanding, dyeing… It was just going to be a test with colors and stitches but as soon as I started I couldn't help improvising something figurative! I hope to learn to create more complex figures, but I have discovered that this makes me very happy

[nueblu]

This year I want to learn new things. And I want to go back to touching what I do with my hands, without screens between me and my work.

I'm learning embroidery 🖤
