What is drawing?

Sometimes I wonder what’s the point of just copying a photo, and maybe that’s why I always try to go a little further, either trying to create movement with the multiple poses or going a little further back and creating the image from scratch.

When I knew that Desirée was coming home to collaborate in my Empordà project, I asked a friend of mine if she had any idea to take some pictures of her and she proposed this image you see. I asked the model and she said yes, she liked the idea. And so we did it. Once I had the photographic material, I put it in drawing format and I was quite happy with the result.

In this case a drawing created from nothing with the participation of 3 people, each one with their share of responsibility.

Photos

I have opened a photo account. I don’t consider myself a photographer but I like to take them and I use them as a reference for my drawings. Unfortunately I have to deal with instagram censorship. Also the models are not professional and they are photos made in private that then they have given me permission to make them public but covering their identity.

Love Yourself

During the past month I have been raising money through kickstarter for the publication of my first book with a compilation of drawings from this complicated year. The process was a success and now I am in the phase of preparing the printing of the book. Once delivered I will have several in stock. I will inform you.

Pencil vs Watercolor

Sometimes, when I make a drawing for myself, before starting, I have doubts, pencil or watercolor? With the pencil I feel more confident and I find my own style. With watercolor I have a lot to learn but at the same time you learn by practicing, there is no other. And watercolor tends to be more popular with my audience.

This time I did both versions.
