Sant Joan '13

 - We buried the pains singing songs,

and the bonfire flames turn the night into day -

Today it's "La revetlla de Sant Joan" which may translate to St.John's eve, but it's quite a big festivity here. Saying 'hi' to the summer, on the longest day and shortest night of the year. There are bonfires (there were a lot more years ago) and people gather around them and throw fireworks and you stay up as long as your body can take it, and dance and jump and laugh while the fire projects both, light and shadow around you.

It was one of my favourites day of the year back when I was a child, mainly 'cause I had a bonfire just by my house. And it was really big! I have few memories of those days, but they're all so bright! I loved it and I would love it nowadays too, but it's to hard to be next to a bonfire, unless you go to some specific places. Also, we eat. We always eat. It's called 'coca de Sant Joan' and it's pretty tasty, but I don't like it that much.

Anyway, I still pretty much like Sant Joan, and I still think it is trully beautiful, and this year we'll have bright full moon too (that if it stops raining and the clouds go away).

Hope you're welcoming the summer on you own way wherever you are! :)

Here's a link that might explain better Sant Joan down here. Images do explain it better! 

On a Clear Day

- And every day I waited for you..

Just been remembering the days in Spring when the sky was of a deep blue and clouds as big as mountains. I don't know, I've always like those kind of clouds that seem to hide a forgotten building on their top. hahaha I keep rambling.

I started doing it 'cause I had kind of a block and nothing looked right, so I tried a new way (just the same but changing a bit) and it seemed to work out!

The thing is that right now my mind is singing The Drums so I can't really concentrate on what I'm writing. I don't know how it happened, I was watching interviews and stuff (not from the drums) and they were just mentioned as favourite music so, even though I was listening to some soundtracks and Ghibli and stuff, I couldn't help myself, and here I am,  trying to write while my mind is singing 'I tought my life would get easier, instead is getting harder, instead is getting harder...'.

Hope you like it, it's just a quick thing I think I needed to do. Now I'm gonna go read a bit.

Winter-Spring '13 Sketches Part 2

Here, have some more. More are on the way! Sorry this took a while. I just wasn't feeling like doing it rather than drawing, but today anything I was drawing felt alright, and I still needed to do something, so here we are. Also, some of the songs and writings I did on my sketchbook a while ago is still important, and more today. Just not a great day. 

Hope you had a magical weekend anyway! And that you didn't stop doing what you love, whatever it is, as long as it doesn't hurt others..

Winter to Spring '13 Sketches

I've been putting together some of the drawings I've been doing this last months on my sketchbook and notes and stuff. So what you'll find here goes from January to May 2013. All those months I was complaining about not having enough time to draw, which was actually true, but still, I could never ever stop drawing every day, even if I only drew sketches or some quick doodles.

Hope you enjoy it!

Some of these where done after watching Labyrinth. Completely failed Jareth.

Sure, some Rose and Ten. I guess I was going through season 4.

I'll keep posting more every day (maybe I'll post some more later today) as there are trully a lot. I've never really done smth like this, but this time I didn't want all this drawings to end nowhere, and also I wanted to prove that I've actually drawn a lot,, even though all the complaining (sorry for that).

Hope you'll enjoy the journey right into my sketchbook and stuff.

PB and Marceline!

Maybe by next summer we won't have changed our tune

Hey! I'm back and with so much time to spend on drawing stuff!! :)

Started this the other day and I wanted to do smth quick, but well, it didn't turn out to be that quick, I guess I gotta work on being faster at doing simple stuff or at least, at not complicating it when I decided I would keep it simple.

PB and Marceline from Adventure Time, because I love the show and I don't think I've posted many fanart online, which is a pitty 'cause I tend to do a lot! I love how those two change looks so much, so you can literally play and do whatever you want with them. 

I am gonna work on finishing stuff this month, drawings I started months ago, but due to exams and work I could never get to finish them, and others which I could only get sketched.

I'm also gonna make some sketchdumps of the drawings I did during this months but never got to post. Most of them only sketches and doodles I did on my sketchbook or the notes from class, but I love them anyway and want them to get somewhere, not to just grab dust in a notebook.

Hope you're enjoying this first days of June, I am surely doing so! Though it feels weird to have free time, I never know what to do with myself 'cause I keep thinking I cannot get anything new started because I'll have an exam to study or smth.. haha, my mind needs to get used at this.

Well, Vacations at last! And so many ideas on my mind, I mean it! so many!! Hope I can work them out somehow.

Hoping the summer is gonna be good!

They say so but..

..It's a game I don't wanna play.

I'm 50% done with my final exams, so I could do some quick sketches today, which I posted on Tumblr, but I'm kinda liking this one, so I'm posting it here too. Like the way it turned out to be, and the tetures, and colours! (I know you're not supposed to say so about your own piece)

Anyway, I'm 50% more happy today as I'm almost done with it, still a week to go, but we'll get there alright, I'm sure! And I've never been really exited about summer, but somehow this year I am, not about beach and not about the sun, but surely about finally being able to have time to start new projects (I wanna play with watercolours, yep!) and so many other things, but also, I'll have time to get to see my friends and stuff, and I trully miss them.

Oh! also, wanna wear nice t-shirts. I guess that's a big reason too.

Hope you're having an alright mid-week. Best wishes for the rest of it.

How are you?

I did this drawing a year ago, but never got to post it for my own reasons, which I still recall, but today I've seen it and I've just tought it was kind of the perfect drawing to post today.

Someone's drawing and thinking of someone, and to that one little question, no, it's not me. Still I've been there so many times before. And I wish I could be drawing right now, but it's been almost a month and I haven't been able to spend a good amount of time in any drawing. I'm just stuck here, studying and working, and studying again. So many ideas running through my head and I'm not able to portay any of them. But  don't wanna complain about it, it is what it is and I hope this days will go fast and soon I'll find myself with time to draw and do things again.

I still recall drawing this little piece one year ago, and I sill believe it is so important, for me, at least. Wanted to add so many stupid details, the ones no one seems to really get, and so I did. And I, both, desperately hope no one really understands them, and that someone gets to know why they are here and what they mean. I make no sense, I know.

Hope you're having a nice May, I, somehow, did.

This is just to say I'm still alive and one day soon I'll start posting again. Can't wait for it!


ps. I don't know why the title is what it is. I called it this way one year ago, and is the one thing about this drawing I can't recall why I did it.
