LION AND HORSE:These two drawing were done with Prismacolor marker, color pencils and graphite pencil. On the lion I wanted to do browns and yellow orage colors. Also, I wanted to feel like the lion belongs to its environment which is Africa. The horse in the bottom I started with the silhouette of the horse and having the blue background I decided to create a world for the horse. I drew the moon to be a night scene looking at the horse running full speed across the open land.
HORSES:Lately I having drawing horses gestures,structure and technique. I really love horses because they are beautiful and they are huge. I think that drawing horses is very challenging due to their complex proportions. Also, besides drawing the actual horse is extremely important to capture the spirit of the horse. As soon as you see the drawings of the horse, it feel that the horse is alive.





ELEPHANT:In this drawing I decided to keep it simple and I just focus on the elephant trunk. I want to show frontground with the trunk and the elephant body to be in the background pushing the shapes to the back. Throughout the body of the elephant I did an outline to create a sense of volume and only the trunk I did cross-contour.
SOCCER:
On sundays I go to see my cousins play soccer at the park. I decided to bring my sketch book with me to do some drawing. I ended up doing some quick sketches different action and movement with the soccer ball.
Dogs: The dog on the top of the page that is my dog and his name is Mango is terrier mix. One night before going to bed while he was sleeping I drew him sleeping on his warm bed.
SKETCHES: Here are some drawing from life using Parker pen with waterbrush.
Drawing people at food places on the park or waiting for the bus. Drawing were done with Pen and waterbrush.
These are some silhouettes of revolutionary characters gathering around. I play with their body proportions like the one in the right. I made him really tall and thin compared the other two. These were done with a Japanese Ink brush.
