Hide No. 01

Peregrino 

He who seeks solitude and protection from the great discrepancies between himself and those around him. Him who tries to examine himself in silence and complete honesty. He who trusts the trees, the air, and the soil to provide him with shelter. He who knows that nature is more ruthless but at the same time, more bearable and wise than anyone. He who knows that mountains heal.

Wisdom and Growth

Intentando cosas nuevas, algo difícil pero me gustó el resultado

Juaica/ensayo de colores digitales

No he intentado mucho el uso de color porque he estado inmersa en la creación de un proyecto grande con lápices unicamente, pero ya que lo he terminado he tenido tiempo de explorar esta herramienta. Me gustan mucho los colores aplicados al estilo cartoon, planos y en bloques, ya luego haré cosas mas avanzadas. Por ahora estos ensayos me sirven para un proyecto que presentaré más adelante, so stay tuned :)

For the mountains is where I long to be.

Texture

I use pictures, my goal is to study living creatures, textures and structures. All pictures used were licensed under Creative Commons.

“Birds of a feather flock together” Drawing made for a guy I love. Inspired by the work of Teagan White.

There, it's finally okay to draw faces again on a regular basis.

Some artists and I were invited to collaborate in a project with Amanda Lynn, also known as Electric Raspberry. We would make a portrait of her and she would make a post featuring the piece with a small review, I wanted to share it with you guys :)

Above is the piece and this was her review, complete post in her blog here or on her tumblr here
“Paula was born and raised in Bogotá Columbia. To her, art is about investigation, beauty, and communication. She uses art as a method to understand the intangible components of the world, and how those attributes manifest themselves through nature and animals. She spends a lot of her time observing animals and studying their lines. She reminds me of a modern-day Snow White. The type of girl who could ask blue birds to help her clean house. Where the Wild Things Are meets Beatrix Potter meets Tim Burton. She also enjoys fashion, and occasionally includes some fashion-centric work on her blogs.”

¿How can I make the image of an animal deliver an idea without the need to make a charicature of him, or giving it extreme human characteristics?

An animal is an animal and I -have to- respect that, that's why I started using other elements that would show the influence of human thought... our perception of animals, but would not create a transvestite instead.

Of all brands I find myself drawing Wildfox models more and more often, maybe it's the stories they create for every collection and the lovely characters and how easy it is to relate to some of them (and all the girls are just so gorgeous)

I'm really travelling my insides, whatever makes me fearful or disgusted, whatever makes my imagination run wild, but I'm also interested in knowing the origin of each icon and why -it does what it does- to the western mind.

That little ghostly thing would be me.







I have a thing for mountains, ever since I was a kid and read so many fairy tales. There's a magic to them and I really don't go that often, but there's a saying and it goes something like "every time a man climbs a mountain, the man comes down wiser" (It's a poor translation but you get the idea) and I was thinking about that all my way up, especially when I walked on my own with the group behind me. I always thought that nature will mainly teach you modesty, to learn how powerful ...and I've got to say it: tricky and dangerous it can be. You really get the feel of some scary tales while in the wild and hold on to any human trace as if life depended on it.

YET again I end up evoiding faces, but I did like this one, makes me think of two strange lovecraftian characters.
