Candy Cane Spanish Girl circa 1652
It has been quite a while since I did image blogs. In this website, I am trying to focus on my own work or whatever. The originality of my website is a must, for serious reasons or whatever. Anyhow, I do not need to go into detail about my process. I am just trying to enhance your shopping experience or whatever. Everything you need to make an anime drawing like this one can be found here. The pens are Staedtler. The small lines were made with a Prismacolor pen. I used it to draw the skin. The main coloring was...
Cake Spanish Girl circa 1650
This is another one of the cute dresses I drew. In Spain, during the baroque period it was common for princesses to dress like today’s modern date cakes. I went through a lot of trouble in rendering the small details. I also added a little bit of makeup on the maiden. I had just gotten some pastel pencils, and I wanted to try them out. The pastel pencils were Derwent, as well as the pencils I used to decorate most of the dress. The pen sections were drawn with Staedtler pens. The skin lines were drawn with a Prismacolor pen....
Tea Time
I drew this a week ago. It featured a scene from my book. I am in the process of jazzing it up, in order to publish it. Sure, the writing should speak for itself. However, pictures are worth a 1000 words, as the saying goes. Anyhow, the scene depicts a weird dream of the protagonist. He dreams of all his brothers and sisters.

Well, I am putting too much though into explaining their...
Much Ado About Graphite
This is one of the last high quality pencil drawings I ever bothered to make. I stopped making pencil drawings as soon as I got to University. I was working on making my first graphic novel. As such, I did not have time to spend on leisure drawings. The drawing features my two favorite Yugioh cards. It took me like a two months to complete the drawing. You can see all the fancy details and the like. One can easily say that I was a bit of a fan. One has to like something a lot to pour a lot...
Italian Little Girl circa 1170s
A few days ago, I drew this little number. She is an Italian girl from the 1170s. The actual source is a little earlier, from the 1880s. Around that time, there was an interest in medieval culture and knights. As such, there was a lot of paintings on that subject. A lot of care and attention was placed in the rendering of those historical outfits. Painters are usually a good source for dresses and the like. All of them painted from life, using models and the actual outfits. These days painting from life has become a little more expensive. There...
