Now it’s time for the fire as an element. I think this one came out really simple, yet powerful.

Another sign if the horoscope. This time it's the turn of Pisces. I'm very happy with the result of this one. it's been one of those magical times where the final drawing came out exactly like the idea I had on mind. :)

I’m also doing seasons, in this case, autumn.

This time I wanted to draw an element, wood, so Pinnochio came out. I aimed for a creepy version, what do you think? 

[princess-aubergine]

This turn goes to the sign of Aquarius.

Second take on Huevember this time I chose an element to represent, electricity!

I had so much fun drawing that hair in the shape of a lightning. :)

[princess-aubergine]

Sooo. Last November I decided to start the challenge Huevember and since I am a total crap when it comes to consistency I haven’t finished yet!

Anyway, I’m learning a lot about myself, my technique, my brush strokes, and the way I color, so I’m going to try and finish it at my own pace. All of them are drawn with plain black indian ink, and colored digiatlly on Photoshop.

This was my take on the first color, and I drew the sign Capricorn. ¿Do you like it? :)

Elisabetta Sirani Italy 17th Baroque painter who was one of the firsts woman to have international projection. As usual, her "condition" of woman didn't permit her entrance into an academia of arts, so she had to learn working at his father's atelier. Even so, she was never allowed to draw with live models, which was an obstacle in order to develope proper anatomy skills. At only 19 years old, she was the breadwinner of her family since her father became to sick to work, and the poor economical status of her family pushed her to be extremely productive. Her special field were religious paintings, which atracted many noble visitors to her atelier, among them, there was the Great Duke Cosme III Médici. Sadly she passed away at only 27 years old. Was she the founder member of the 27 club, maybe? What it is true is that in only 8 years of professional career, she left more than 200 paintings with an amazing technique. As all my other Inktobers, the original piece is available at my online store.

Leonora Carrington. England-Mexico 20th-21st centuries. She was a writer, painter, scenographer and sculptor who was introduced into surrealism by Max Ernst. During the nazi ocupation of France, she was living in Paris, and she colaborated with the Freier Künstlerbund, an underground movement of intelectuals against fascism. Sadly, Max Ernst was imprisoned by the Nazi-collaborationist government of France, and she had to flee to Spain were she was entered into a psychiatric hospital due to her unstable condition and trauma. Staying in such place, would leave a mark on her work. She was described by André Breton as an ambassador back from "the other side", a seer, a witch returned from the underworldwith visionary powers.

Marguerite Gérard France. 18th-19th centuries She was a painter and etching artist who didn't have access to academic training due to her "condition" of being a woman. Luckily, Jean-Honoré Fragonard married her older sister and took her as pupil. They did a series of etchings collaborating together, but many historians believe that the majority were in fact done by Marguerite on her own. Her work was advertised as "sous les yeux de Fragonard" (under the eyes of Fragonard) overestimating Fragonard's role in her art. Finally, she gained recognition from Napoleon and Louis XVII and was awarded with gold medals. As all my other Inktobers, this original piece is available at my online store.

Margaret Sarah Carpenter England 18th-19th centuries. Romantic painter who was awarded multiple times who stablished her reputation as a fashionable portrait painter. In the case of this piece, the subject of the portrait happens to be the great Ada Lovelace, mother of the computer language. An art reviewer once wrote about her:“It very rarely happens that a specimen of art like this is produced from the hand of a lady: Here are colour, light, strength and effect, and anatomical drawing”. Terrible compliment!

Nº3 of #Inktober 2018 Clara Peeters. Belgium-The Netherlands. 16th-17th centuries. One of the Flemish painters who started de still-life paintings in her hometown. She was recognise for being incredibly meticulousand for her habit of hidding tiny self-portraits in the reflections of the metallic objects of her still-lifes. I consider this a proof of her masterful technique, and also of a great sense of humour. She was the firsts woman to have an individual exhibition at the Museo del Prado.
