Hello my friends who love Hive.Blog art. This post is about a painting, drawing and comic contest about the Battle of Carabobo. I like this contest, because it rewards artistic talent and at the same time encourages our history. For this sequence I was inspired by a book which had a painting of the Battle of Carabobo, which talked about the cavalry that defined this event together with Simón Bolívar, it is one of the main themes. A dilemma I had was how explicit the comic should be, because it is about a war but at the same time the drawing would be for a contest.
Lo primero que hice fue un boceto con lápiz 2B cuadro por cuadro. luego con un lapicero empecé un proceso que es característico de los comics que se llama entintado, el cual es básicamente delinear a los personajes y fondos. La trama es sencilla e intuitiva esta dividida en cinco paneles y trata de una batalla que se desarrolla en los llanos carabobeños y a lo alto se encuentra mi libertador. supervisando su estrategia y esperando el momento perfecto para descender junto a la caballería que definiría la Batalla de Carabobo.
The first thing I did was a 2B pencil sketch frame by frame. Then with a pencil I started a process that is characteristic of comics called inking, which is basically outlining the characters and backgrounds. The plot is simple and intuitive, it is divided into five panels and deals with a battle that takes place in the Carabobeño plains and at the top is my liberator. supervising his strategy and waiting for the perfect moment to descend with the cavalry that would define the Battle of Carabobo.
Una vez terminado el entintado empecé a colorear para esta parte investigue sobre los uniformes que usaban los soldados, los colores y el entorno en el cual se desenvolverían las acciones. Algo que quisiera resaltar es que mi mamá mientras yo realizaba este dibujo me regalo en mi cumpleaños una caja de colores Prismacolor de 36 unidades así que estrene esos colores con este dibujo.
Once the inking was finished, I began to color. For this part, I investigated the uniforms that the soldiers used, the colors and the environment in which the actions would take place. Something that I would like to highlight is that my mother, while I was making this drawing, gave me a Prismacolor box of 36 units on my birthday, so I released those colors with this drawing.
Una vez termine de colorear remarque las las líneas que separan los paneles y agregue los textos, en la parte superior izquierda se encuentra la viñeta la cual contiene un resumen las acciones que se aprecian en los paneles. Ya solo quedaba enviarlo por correo a los organizadores del concurso en esta parte, casi fallo ya que en la información que me pedían probablemente la más importante era la edad y yo olvide colocar mi edad,😨 pero afortunadamente me aceptaron luego de confirmar mi edad en otro correo.
Once you finish coloring, highlight the lines that separate the panels and add the texts, in the upper left is the bullet which contains a summary of the actions that can be seen in the panels. Now it only remained to send it by mail to the organizers of the contest in this part, I almost failed since in the information they asked me, probably the most important was my age and I forgot to put my age, 😨 but fortunately they accepted me after confirming my age in another email.
Como todo concurso tiene sus premios y este no es la excepción, son tres premios que se ofrecen el primer lugar es un viaje para 4 personas a la playa de Ocumare de la Costa, el segundo lugar son 4 entradas a el Parque Acuático de mi ciudad y el tercer lugar son cuatro entradas para el Ávila el cual es una atracción turística de la ciudad de Caracas, espero poder ganar para poder disfrutar junto a mi familia de estos increíbles premios. Algo que me di cuenta en que yo he visitado todos esto sitios junto a mi familia y espero pronto poder revivir esos momentos.
As every contest has its prizes and this is no exception, there are three prizes that are offered the first place is a trip for 4 people to the beach of Ocumare de la Costa, the second place is 4 tickets to the Aquatic Park of my city and the third place is four tickets to Avila which is a tourist attraction in the city of Caracas, I hope I can win to be able to enjoy these incredible prizes with my family. Something that I realized in that I have visited all these places with my family and I hope soon to be able to relive those moments.
