[Daniela Blanco]

I finally decided to start my sketchbook here.........seeing so many inspiring work from other artists here made me whant to get better and better.............

I'm 24 year old girl (YES.......DANIELA IS WOMEN'S NAME) studying with determination for being a concept artist!! Every critic you make here will help me achieve my dream......

Any critics and comments are really welcomed!!!!!!!!!!

I'll let this first post for an updated thumb always.....so this starts on the second post...

[Daniela Blanco]

This are some skecths I did during the last 2 weeks.........some anatomy studys........and some from imagination just for relaxing a little.....

Hope you like it!!

[Dan Valkar]

[Daniela Blanco]

Thanks Dan Valkar!!! I'll sure keep working....

Here is my entry on this week's chow: Queen's Consort

That's my wip so far.....but I really need to work more on it........the last 2 are just a study of colors.....and to ask opinion on what is better.......for wich side must it be turned??? I'm just getting crazy of looking at this for too long........

[Daniela Blanco]

Here is my final image for this week's chow - Queen's Consort....I fixed some composition issues.......and added colors


The other one is my entry on AVATAR competition......I didn't loved it.......but I'm going to post it here anyway...:]

[Daniela Blanco]

I'm just posting my final for a chow from 2 weeks ago........Mr. Browsntone P.I.......the investigator of the paranormal....

Some skecths of a character I created last year and never worked on it again.......I'm definitly going to work on it and make a digital paint or something like this.....

Some sketchs.....and anatomy studys

[Daniela Blanco]

2 characters that I intend to paint with Photoshop........
the second one still need to be finished...

And some studys from photo reference

[Daniela Blanco]

Some studys with Zbrush .......and a clay sculpting of an old man's head....

[Raiderukkus]

ARRR ye have good salty pictuers for the olde pirate, keep studing for better perspective feeling , good start

[Daniela Blanco]

Thanks Raiderukkus!!! Good to hear you like it....

Here are some more sketchs.....
The first one is just a wip yet......
The others are studys with references from Posemaniacs......and some skecths from imagination...
I'm also trying to achieve some good skin tones.......(wich I'm not doing right now.....)

[Daniela Blanco]

Some girls faces from magazines.....etc...
Some quick studys (not so quick ) from posemaniacs references......
And continuing the study of skin tones from photo reference....

[Daniela Blanco]

First stage wip on this week's chow: Mary of the Blue lights

My Mary is just a sad young girl who knows too much about our sad world........as the "blue lights....balls...or whatever" travel around the world really fast and always come back to tell Mary what it saw......
Maybe when she grows up she can learn how to deal with such onerous power.....and do something to help out the world......

[Daniela Blanco]

Second stage wip on this week's chow: Mary of the Blue lights

[Daniela Blanco]

One more wip for this week's chow....

Anatomy studys...........the knees sketchs were really instructive.....I kind of finally understood what goes inside the skin in this part of the body....

A drawing still to be completed with a lot of values......it was made using a photo from the book Anatomy for the Artists as reference......still lots of work to do....but I feel I'm getting better at proportions....

[Daniela Blanco]

My final for the last chow....Mary of the Blue Lights

Tomorrow I must scan some quick studys that I've being doing while studying Vilpus.

[Dahami]

Some great work here. I like the pencil sketch showing the close-up of the mermaid's head with the keeled scales or bumps on top. That critter could almost be an alien.

[Brun]

great stuff, keep at the studies

try to focus a bit more on anatomy and the way values and colours work

kick ass

[MJ_Alcazar]

I like your studies, never can do enough studies.

Keep working on that anatomy and values. Enjoy seeing you in CHOW, keep at it!

[Daniela Blanco]

Dahami: thaks a lot.....glad to know you like it.........I really need continue the work on that character..........I intend to make a digital painting as soon as I have time.....

Brun : thanks! ... I really need to work more on anatomy and values.......speacilly on digital painting.......as it seems to be easier for me to ad values with a simple pencil....(I don't really know why....)

MJ Alcazar: thanks a lot!! I happy to hear from you....as I love your drawings.......
I will definitly pass by your sketchbook to comment!!

Ok .....here is an update .......a bunch of 15 - 30 seonds studys........I'm focusing on movement and gesture as I'm studying some Vilppu!
