And the winner is... Pati!

Wow!!! Big time wow! So many entries for the Hair theme, all of them incredible, most of them just blew me away! I am so impressed with all of you. I want you to know that I occasionally get email from professional illustrators that love this blog and are always inspired by all of the entries here. Keep it up, everyone!

I'm befuddled as to who should win... I adore Zari's - this is a first for her I believe - well-balanced color, perspective, composition, and no outline. I love seeing artists push styles in new directions. I also love Linda Sarah's story-telling, Rowan Dodd's bold precise strokes, Josh Musarter's funny cousin, Kelly B.'s is darling, and Christy's is clever. I could go on... All of the entries rocked.

I'm going with Pati for this theme. I'd love to give 3 or 4 more awards for you all for this one but then I'd set a precedent that will just give me more work. :) Pati's spectacular drawing of a girl on the bus shows her raw talent with a pencil in a sketchbook. The highlights, shadows, line, the smooth hair pulled into a braid with bits of fly-away hair... magnificent.

Congrats to Pati!

Girl in the bus

Hello everybody!

It's being a whiiiiile since my last post here. But Zari told me today that this drawing fits this week's topic. So, here I am again :)

There is also a desktop wallpaper calendar based on this sketch available in Smashing Magazine.

Morning discovery

I'm so happy for being part of Monday Art Day ATC! I've just made four cards so far, two of them go in their way to their new home... two are waiting for an owner ;)

IF: excess

This is my illo for excess. Godo doesn't like the excess of hot he feels in the subway in winter hehe...

Cat's life

This is based on a true moment that happened at my mom's. I guess my sister didn't mean to say that... or did she?

p.s. I made this entry for IFN.

Fito

It's been almost five months since I saw Fito for the last time. I left him in Venezuela along my mom... I miss him so much! He's 8 years old, super lazy, chubby, glutton and sweet. My mother says that he follows her around the house. I hope I can bring him up to Montreal next year :)

My friend Jessi

I know her for real, in fact, we studied together at college and I must say that from the beginning I admired her a lot! She is not only ridiculously creative, but also a very nice girl. I love you, Jessi!

What would we do without her?

No doubt, she rocks! Thanks mummy ;)
