Drawing Angels 2

Drawing Angels

This morning on my desks, a few angels ready to go to their new houses.

I always try to keep my blog and my illustrations out of politics.

But this time I see the world is turning into something I don't like, and I see many people feels the same way.

What a single little person can do to do something to turn a better place?

Many days I feel myself that way, what can I do?

Today, if my illustration can help others to have a better day, or to think in a positive way, I'll be happy.

An you too, you can also be the light in the darkness. Keep smiling and keep doing good around you.

Winter weather report!

Winter weather report.

One day 8 C, bikini time!
Next day: -15 C, skating time.

So hard to know what to wear with this kind of winter weather.

Some days are just 21 C warmer that it should be for this time of the year according to the weather lady on the radio!.

Have great time!

How to work transparency in an illustration

Transparency in an Illustration

I just finished the online course about Color on Illustration, with the great illustrator and teacher Marian Lario.

I learnt many new things on this subject, this illustration was my homework for the 5th week, I worked here with hand carved stamps, then I scanned it and on photoshop I cleaned the background, and using layers with the mode multiply, I added some color with transparency.

Something new for me, really interesting and love the result.

What can you draw from shapes, #doodleadaymarch

Shapes

#doodleadaymarch

Shapes is the word for today, #doodleadaymarch challenge us to make a doodle from shapes, what can you draw from a circle, triangle and a rectangle...

This time I did the doodles on my IPad with the apps Sketches, so many resources for illustrators.

How to make a small forest.

Forest

It's not hard to make a small forest for your home, as Forest is the word for today for #doodleadaymarch,

All you need is to draw a few trees on a piece of paper, if you have at home thicker paper than regular paper, that will help.

Once you finish to draw your trees, cut them out, find a little container to place them in, and voila, you have your own forest to have it at home.

If you find this idea easy and cute to make, make as many forest as you want to, I'm sure they will look nice anywhere you place them.

Take care and have a nice day.

C is for Crocodile,

C is for Crocodile

I'm taking part of #doodleadaymarch and today's word is reptile,

can't draw Miss Fox with a crocodile, this crocodile was not easy to turn down on eating meat!

Miss Fox is happy I didn't draw her with this crocodile.

Think, would be a good idea to draw a full ABC of animals.

if you like to draw, you can join the Drow A Doodle March, you can share your daily doodles on your blog or at your Facebook.

Take care and have a nice day!

Large, what to do if you find a large daffodil in your garden.

Large

Miss Fox got up early this morning,

as the weather is warmer, she was so happy to find a LARGE daffodil in her garden.

#doodleadaymarch

The good thing about being an illustrator and be able to draw happy characters is to have happy things around the house.

I began to draw a doodle a day for March, today's word is LARGE, first thing to came up to my head was to see the little Miss Fox so happy to find a Large daffodil, in her garden!, her favorite flower.

When I make an illustration and I keep in on my sketch book, they will be there for long time, nobody will see them,

How to make an illustration everyone can enjoy it:

- Draw your illustration.
- Wait till it gets dry (when I use watercolor, color pencils, markers, it's better to wait untill the illustration gets dry before you start working with it)
- Cut it off, here an important thing to think about is how do you plan the illustration will stand up by it self. Work on it, this time, I just cut a long piece of paper on the bottom, I made one cut on each end and hooked both together, then I press a little to make the bottom round, this way, Miss fox can stand up by it self.
- Place your illustration some where in the house where everyone can see it.

An illustration is not only to be kept in a book, an illustration can be as many things as you want to, if you are an illustration, think on what you want your illustration to be!

Hope you get a nice and creative day, keep positive and happy.

If you find something nice and it makes you happy, leave me a comment and tell me about it. I'd love to read about it.

Hello March!

and 10 things you can do to make a better Month!

Spring is around the corner!!, nice weather will be here soon, and we could make more nice things out doors.

- go out with no coat, no boots, no hat!!

- see the grass getting green again.

- see the crocus flowers popping up while the snow melts down

- open the windows and let fresh air come in the house

- start planting seeds for the garden

- sun will be shinning more hours every day

- no more snow on roads

- local markets will get fresh veggies again

- go out for a long walk

- see canadian geese flying back north on the sky

Think Miss Fox is happy to be back to life after a long and cold winter, think she can wait to do so many things out doors, I just wonder where do the little birds are at this moment?, does Miss Fox Miss them?

Well, think we will know soon.

What are your plans for this Month?, will you do Spring cleanning at home?, will you go out doors and just enjoy the good weather?

Whatever is on your list, just enjoy it, make of March a good month for you and yours!

How to think on love

How to think on love?

It's already January 15th, it's about time to think on love,

this time, I made an illustration about how I use to think on love,

Love for me is about many shapes and colors,

not only love as many of us use to think,

I used to think on love as love.

Not anymore, love means more to me now, love can be in any moment, not only on San Valentine's Day, love can be in any smile, not only from your love one, love can be in quiet moments, not only in parties and good times, and I could keep writing more and more, as life has many moments to live on, and in every moment I can see, and feel love.

That is why I like to draw love with this illustrations, hearts on many colors.

I would love to hear from you, what is love for you?, where do you find love?, how do you give love to your family, friends and other people?

If you like this post, feel free to share it. I will love it!!

See you back here soon.

Ale
