The Hidden Well

If you look closer you might find the path to other worlds, there, through the waters of the old well.

'And there you'll find wondrous new and old sounds. Otherworldly.'

This surely took a lot to post, (I think I've been here for two hours now, and I got it finished Friday, but only decided to post it today, still got it too close to the heart to let it go) but it mostly took long to finish.

I got the idea for this drawing after reading a Mild Slopes post talking about Delia Derbyshire being of the right age and historical moment to find a door/way to Narnia (or other worlds). I must admit I loved the thought, so I sketched it, but then I got attached to the idea, and I started developing it, and that's how, 3 months ago I started the drawing.

The main sketch was just of Delia looking into the well 'cause I thought that would be another wonderful way to get to other worlds. (and also it made me think of the ponds through which Digory and Polly got to them).
When the path would be open, you'd see on the reflection of the calm waters, another sky, other trees, another light.. and that's what would catch your attention to look closer. But if you're not someone who likes exploring, you might never go to that part of the garden, where no one does now, where the old well still stands.

I loved exploring as a child, I have such great memories of it. I found little treasures and I hope you did too. Maybe a door to another world, maybe just something much more little, but yet, priceless for you. (I still love exploring).

Hope you like this one, and I'm sorry it took so long. Exams and work weren't helpful and I wanted to try hard on this one but also I had to deal with some art blocks in the way. Now, after so long, it's done, and I'm kinda worried of letting it go, but it must be done, and as I write this, I'm willing to finally post it.

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!
