Sorry, couldn't think of a title for this entry!
So a little update about life and art: life's been spanking my nerves like mad recently. Still don't know if I was re-admitted in college, I know how it's all going backstage (looking good, but knowing all that makes me even more nervous) and still my heart's been giving me enough clues for me to ponder taking a heart exam. Of all the people, ME, who never got bothered by any kind of stress in the past!
I'm not so art-lazy as I was, and am quite happy to see the results of a few weeks of not drawing. It seems that if I work in cycles, the results are more productive. Strange, neh? Still, I'll have to get used to working over long periods of time if I want to be an illustrator. Have to practice a bit more regularly.
Themes are something that I'm lacking right now as well, and I want to take a break from drawing always the same characters and environment over and over again. I might try creating something a bit diferent. Any suggestions?
That's all for now. I'll update here if I get back to college. You'll be seeing a LOT more paintings, digital art, drawings, photography, and God knows what else in my gallery!

Long time no post!
I'm just leaving the link here, considering many of you have Facebook, and I started my art page, I guess we could connect. :)

Do visit and like if you want to. :) Some stuff are there that I don't have here at DA and vice-versa.
Cheers! :wave:
Gee, time sure flies!
Well well well, it's been a long time since I've updated my journal!
So life's turned around pretty much. Studied for a year, practiced a lot of stuff, and guess what: who'd think I'd feel this good being a designer and illustrator?
To sum things up a bit, last year I decided to kick fate in the behind and take a one year illustration course. Being a designer in a land where people almost deny it as a profession drained me of my self-esteem and motivation, so I decided to try another route with something I love, which is illustration and art.
Turns out, I guess I was pretty good at that! I do feel like I've improved a LOT, and I also know
Time for an upgrade!
Design's all nice, fine and dandy. Seriously, it is! You see, I took a major in Communication Design about 2 years ago and about 6 months ago I finally started working as a designer. I felt like a monkey throwing poo at the ill fate the world lives in! But it's a field where that poo hits the fan faster than you can imagine! So I'm sorry all you designers out there, I love design, but if you don't have nerves of steel...
...
It just drains the life out of you! And believe me, I AM a devil in the buisness class, although I disguise it fairly well, from what I've been told...
After not being able to draw for about 4 months and a half, fallin
Tarot madness!!
That's RIGHT! I'm in hyper mode with a tarot project and I just can't get enough of it! Already did the linearts for the Major Arcana (you can see it in my Gallery under "Ifraea's Odacle") and I'll start with the minor arcana while I don't have my new pc (this laptop's dieing! :pray:) to color the linearts.
So now I have about... 20 more drawings to do!! :wow: I'll rename the 4 types to Dreams, Moons, Halos and Seeds. You'll figure out why as soon as I finish the linearts for them! :giggle:
So wish me luck! :wave: And feel more than welcome to comment the ones already submitte! :aww:

Check out Juxtapoz, its full of ads but its you can see some pretty weird/interesting stuff.
Some guy made a pinhole camera out of a girl's skull and thats not the only strange camera the guy has made. Made a picture somewhat based on that.
Imagine Fx has a good site and magazine with drawing and art tips for all media. Can give you the link if you are interested.
Feed your eyes.
I used to go downtown to a big magazine store and check out the art related magazines. Would look at stuff about ceramics, sculpture, graffiti, "lowbrow", basically anything that would catch my eye. I would buy the magazines and tear out the interesting pages and put them in folders.
Go to museums and art galleries if you can.
Having a large pool of inspiration to draw from gives you more ideas and stuff to do.
Have seen your tarot chars and they look great but it would be nice if they were drawn against a background. What sort of place would the Fool or Empress be found?
