British Anime Girl in a Purple Dress circa 1830
I just got done with my pretty dress series. I am now going to start in my poses series. It is mostly going to be based on photos, books and paintings. I am always doing compilations of this and that. When you start, you think you will never finish. Then one day you realize that you are done with that little project and then you move it along. I think I will have both my compilations in one book. It will save on paper or whatever. Mostly, I am a big fan of big books and the like. When I...
Watercolor Front Cover I Painted
Recently, I made this cute front cover for one of my books. I painted it with watercolor and the lines were done with ink. The ink I chose came from my Sakura Pigma Micron watercolor pens. As for the Watercolors, they came from US art supply. The scene shows my protagonist dancing. The columns are from the castle. It took me about two days to complete the painting. I used to do a bit of Watercolor in High School. It is interesting to revisit a skill you have not used in decades. It is good to see that I still...
Sleepy People in FIU
I was looking through my art supplies to make new product descriptions when I ran into this sketchbook. I could not find the brand for it, so instead I decided to feature it in the blog. I bought this in FIU around 2009. I was bored in class, and the teacher did not allow computers in class. It seems a bit juvenile that teachers continue with the same nonsense even in college. After all, students and Uncle Sam are paying for the classes. Who cares if they want to waste their time and not pay attention? Frankly, college felt like...
Kite Surfer in Miami Beach
A few years ago I took this random photo of a kite surfer dude. I tried to frame it in a way that featured him and the kite. It is usually fun to try to see them dock. After all, the kite is designed to propel them through the water at quick speed. Some times I see them crashing into the shore. It is also interesting whenever they try to take off. They usually are already getting about by the time I arrive. They must start their little games early in the morning. The photo was a bit crooked, so...
Random Stuff Store Front
Bayside used to be one of my favorite places to visit. As of late, not so much. It has gotten a bit too crowded. Whenever a place gets crowded a get a bit paranoid. Normally, people would call it social anxiety. However, this being the US we have come to be suspicious in crowded area. For example, in the Dolphin Mall a douched used firecrackers to steal a watch. The people ran away in a panic. Needless to say, a couple of people got injured by a scared crowd running away. Another thing I miss about Bayside were the stores....
