In Vlanco

I enjoyed it a lot today. I’ve closed the antagonist of the story and I’ve had a lot of fun drawing him in motion. Ashley Wood guides me through these times and helps me when I get stuck.

I fall into the void. One more step. An unknown place and good feelings. The hand works better and better and little by little it turns everything it touches into gold. The proportions are tremendously difficult. The nose, chin, and forehead change the character’s face completely. Slowly, more elements are incorporated into the madness. So…

I don’t know how many times I have to draw it. Hundred? Two hundred? Three thousand? It costs, it costs and it costs. It never comes out the same. A slight variation in the nose or chin changes his expression and the character is no longer the same. On the other hand, it’s like it’s…

As if it were math, it worked. One line, its half. Half of the half. That half perpendicular to both sides and so on until it fits the protagonist’s face. Worked. The difficult thing is to transfer those measurements to the profile and to three-quarters. That’s what I’ve been doing all weekend.In that and in…

I would like to have this point more advanced. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and I can’t quite define it. Its forms, its features, its proportions are not closed. I guess these characters are capricious. They need their time to be born. Even now that they hang their parents’ photos on…

It’s one thing to want to do something in black and white, with grays, and it’s quite another to do something in one ink. The fewer resources, the harder.

I’m still looking for order. The procedure. The way to do it. Today I found that I can start by making an ink drawing and then apply watercolor on it, without it blurring or undoing it. I don’t know why, but that’s the way it is. This can make things a lot easier for me.I’m…

The penultimate process has already begun. In fact, it takes several days. It’s harder than I thought. At some point you fall asleep and think it’s done when it hasn’t even started yet. That is not what was agreed. What has been agreed is now or never, not to miss this unique moment that may…
