My first illustration of 2016!

This year I want to focus on creating more illustrations.
Two years ago I tried to draw every day, last year I wanted to create a pattern for each week of the year. I failed both times. Probably because after a certain time I didn't make more time to commit to these challenges. It reached a point that I was so behind that I couldn't be bothered to continue.
So this year I want to make it different. I want to draw something new every weeks of 2016. It can be a scribble, a drawing or a finished illustration. It doesn't matter if it's work or a personal illustration. I just want to draw.

And filled the first page with a drawing about it! It was also a comeback to paint with coloured pencils. And also a comeback of cartoonish self portraits in one of my most common outfits (my three shades of grey outfit - completely NOT related with any Shades of Grey book)

Este ano participei novamente com uma ilustração para o projecto Histórias de Ajudaris.
O texto que me calhou foi escrito pelos Alunos do 4ºB do Agrupamento de Escolas Marcelino Mesquita do Cartaxo - EB1 n.º 1 José Tagarro. O texto fala sobre sermos diferentes e sobre sermos amigos (apesar das diferenças que possamos ter.)

Podem encontrar a ilustração que fiz o ano passado aqui.

Em baixo a versão a linha. antes de colorida.





E a versão a lápis

Now it's time to ink it! Illustrating friendship and different people. #workinprogress #pencildrawing #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #illustration #friendship #animals #squirrel #cat

Miss Kate Moss for The pink Lemonade

Winter is coming...

Done back in October of this year, based on friend old photo. Obviously she is a great fan of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones. Can you wonder her favourite family from the book and tv series?
Seem to me quite appropriate post this when the winter is just around the corner...
