Aida "M" García!!

Hi there!

My name is Aida and I’m an illustration student!

I draw with kind of own-comic style, I draw with pencil and ink (looooooove inkining) with pens or Chinese ink. I usually watercolour my drawings, but I also use felt-tip pens.

I’m not very good at watercolour, but after that comes my beloved Photoshop and then things look different. You know J

I like drawing characters mainly, specially girls and monsters. Although girls is much more beautiful to draw…monsters are the funniest!

 

 This is Simon from the T.V. show "Misfits", my own way of course.

 This is Black Orchid. I read a comic from Nail Gailman and Dave Mckeand and fell in love with her...

 And this is one of my babies...I enjoyed so much drawing him!!!

These are my illustrations with a childish style.I like painting with watercolor and color pencils because the finish is very colorfull and it gives a lot of life to the illustrations.Althought I´m starting to use collage because it´s very funny.

Inside Victor Martinez

Well, im here again. As you know, im Victor and i like crazy things, and when i say crazy i mean surrealistic things. Ordinary life is boring so i  like the different people, weid art and unique things. These kind of thing inspires me for drawing and thinking about things that simply dont exists. I love comic books and i have my own homemade comics ( Mind thieves and The hidden), probably if you read it dont get the plot first time you read them ! They are a madness ! Technichally i use pencil, ink and watercolour as basics, and sometimes y like to use pen nibs and photoshop.

My world in watercolors

I'm Adela Quiles. I enjoy working with watercolors because it allows to me try diferent effects and I find painting with brush relaxing. You can also work fast and make colored sketches easily.
My style of drawing may be defined as realistic proportions but without much detail.
I love drawing animal and human anatomy and movement and fantastic themes inspired in fantasy books and leyends.

This is an ilustration for the Hans Christian Andersen's tale "Thumbeline"

 Colored sketch: Ogre and elf fighting

these  drawings are made first whith a soft pencil lin. Afterwards, I painted them with watercolours and then I redrew the line in black ink.

Raquel - My stuff

Well, as you can see, I like it dark. And hyperrealistic.

I don't copy reality, but rather try to make things that look real no matter how weird. That's my favorite side of art, that you can pull rabbits out of hats and get away with it, like magic, making dreams come true and turning imposible into real. Plus, it's wikedly amusing!

My favoutire mediums are pencil, colored pencils and acrylics, but lately I've been using photoshop to paint as I would on paper, as in this image, entirely done using my laptop and a basic graphic tablet.

My favourite themes are the world of dreams and weird creatures, myths and leyends, the macabre, the creepy...

Our Illustrations

Hi! I’m Reyes Fernández and this is my work.

For my illustrations I use watercolors and watercolor pencils, saturated colors and a aesthetic naive, I like centered compositions, backrounds not working too and well-defined figure.

In the first illustration we find an allegory of the autumn and I would like to finish a complete set of the four seasons and months of the year, each illustration with colors corresponding to their season.

The second illustration is a deer for a project that I would like to do about the snow and snowy landscapes. I love the color of this draw.

I hope you like my work and if you like it, you can go to my blog:

Cristina´s Halloween Poster

I relied on the world of vampires wich I find interesting  with darkly funny creatures for my Halloween poster, I used a black and white photography base and just wanted to use black and white for the background and red for text because it brings out more about the rest.
I painted the girl's lips red and made a kind of nibble, and I manipulated  the neck  jewel to fit with the font.
I used a Gothic typeface according  with these topics vampires and night, and I stretched the typography to give the impression of something bloody, I  just put the initials of the art school because it was too much  text and covered my image.

The problem is that in the screen was perfect, but when you print it out on paper with little resolution  the result is horrible… ;)

Benito's poster

The poster for Halloween 2011 for the School of Art Oviedo I decided to do about  the zombies because it is a topic because is very fashionable now, in movies, television series, video games ...

For the background I used something psychedelic with typical Halloween colors for example orange and black, circular  with forms focus.

For the typography I made it myself with pen and later I scanned it  to give a youthful style

All this was not enough for my sign outside you selected.
