This summer is unsurprisingly hot… As soon as I step outside and move any movement I begin to melt down. I really don’t like the summer. But luckily Fall is next.

It’s getting Hot
It’s getting Hot line art
It’s getting really hot, it’s that time of the year…
It feels like an oven in my room. I decided to pull the trigger on an A/C. Hopefully that will ease this summer’s heat.

Happy New Year 2024
The new year has started. Although last year sucked, I have hope that this year can be better. Let’s overcome things. Despite my gloomy appearance I am somehow an optimist. I keep falling but I will continue to get up and keep going if I think things are worth doing. Let’s keep fighting and make this year a great one. Hoping for the best for all of you.
On another note, I accomplished my goal of uploading every week last year. Hopefully I can continue to do so this year as well.

Reaching 2024
We’ve somehow made it to the end of this year. It sucked. Here’s hoping this new year brings better things. On the plus side, I made progress in my artist journey so it wasn’t all doom and gloom. This will be my final drawing for 2023. If I feel like it, hopefully tomorrow’s drawing will be more positive.

Another Year of life 2023
You know, it’s funny. I just learned that the English name for a marigold is cempasuchil. On top of that after watching the play Marigold where Meimi stars in, I learned that in the language of flowers it means despair. But that seems to be in the Victorian meaning, because for us Mexicans it means purity, divinity, and the connection between life and death. It is said to be a gift by the Sun God and helps lead the dead with it’s scent.
In any case, another year has passed. It’s been a tough one but I hope that things will finally start getting better in this coming year. Either way, there’s no other option than to keep going at it.

Tired but almost done
This project has been taking longer than I thought it would but I’m almost done with the really important section of it. After that there’s some more I wish to add to it, but that can take it’s time. What I will say is that it was worth it.

Punched by Life Line Art
I think I drew this on Friday, it was a couple of days ago. I didn’t have a plan in mind really, I just drew and this came out. Then the idea of life punching us at the most random times came to mind. I have an idea of making this into a scene. We’ll see.

New Year 2022 1st Drawing/Painting
Happy New Year!
Feliz Año Nuevo!
あけましておめでとう!
Somehow I managed to finish it on time. This is the first drawing of the year. I decided to risk it and rest a bit after work yesterday and start the first drawing/painting of the year on the very first day of the year. Usually I start a day before and finish it on the second. I wasn’t too sure what the subject would be until I noticed that people were posting tiger themed photos on instagram. The tiger is my favorite animal so this actually made ideas flow much easier.
I had the idea of riding the tiger but felt that was a bit cruel. Then I had the idea of the tiger kinda hugging me like my dog does (well except he hugs from the front) and this concept was born. I drew it first without reference to come up with the pose and whatnot. I wanted a hopeful and determined theme, with the strength of the tiger behind our backs. Or something like that. As for the background I wanted to emphasize the winter weather and used a photo that I took years ago of a street where the mountains could be seen with a beautiful sunset.
Let’s do our best this year!

One more year of life 2021 Colorized
I finally colorized this drawing. I had planned to do so sooner… but I finally got to it. What I had in mind was going for a Ukiyo-e style. I went for a simple painting style and then texturized with with some layers I overlaid upon it.

One more year of life 2021
Another year has ended and a new one has just begun. Let’s give it our best this year as well.
Feliz Dia De Los Muertos!

Nube 2021 Line Art
I forgot about this drawing until I was cleaning my room today. It was part of a couple of drawings I quickly made in the course of an hour. I had no real goal, I was just drawing.
