Hope you doing well!
These past few months have been kind of hard, to be honest one of the things that made me almost quit hive and any social media or digital platform was the fact that’s very hard to promote my artistic work online.
Not just for profits, but for the fact of sharing my work. And of course I wish I could make this a more stable activity. Online and offline… but wow it’s so easy to lose the patience and the motivation…
So well, I’ve been doing some sketches and some illustrated designs… some of them have been paid commissions and some others haven’t.
One of them is an illustration inspired by the artist Melanie Martinez, which is a lovely artist that after 3 years launched a brand new album + persona image and well she’s just so inspiring to me… I want to end that art to show you the final result.
Here I share the raw sketch I made in March (omg so long ago!!) of course I wanna work more on it, and I’ll try to make a mix with digital illustration. Maybe add digital colored stuff… who knows! But I wanted to share a preview first 😅.
Now well, after this long venting talk (sorry for that), let’s continue with the motive of this post, this piece, which actually have no name, but is very special to me:
I made it time ago, and it was based on an art of a Brazilian illustrator, called Sarah, she was friend of mine for a while and we used to talk via Instagram. She loved to draw girls of any kind, mostly young and naive but sadly evolved in strong emotional situations. She also loved animals, specially smalls and fragile.
That was a thing I algo loved, so we make an art trade. Something I haven’t done so often lately. (Btw I would love to do it, so don’t hesitate to ask me if you want to!).
And well, she made a version of one of my drawings, and I made this one. I changed a lot of things according to my taste and my vision, like the clothes, the character, the bunny… I just kind of made her as I felt at the time.
Emotional but hopeful, sad but dreamy… let’s just say she represents a bittersweet feeling.
Even now I love this one so much I still have a small print of it in my phone case as a decoration. It reminds me how much I enjoy to create art, even in my hard moments… maybe specially in those moments.
And things like that make me think I don’t wanna quit doing something that I enjoy so much, no matter if it’s not perfect.
Do you think I should name this piece? Or put her a name? You can comment it.
This art was made with pencils and markers on regular paper, totally traditional 😗.
