A kitty called Bunny

Hello there,

Another project made for Copic España blog. It wasn't my intention to make it a tutorial, but I am sharing some tricks of how to sketch a semi-realistic pet portrait.

But I guess I have to explain the name of the post (it is not sketch related so you can skip it if you want). 
So we own a cat (or she owns us 😂) Her name is Zayka. She appeared at our porch a year ago so skinny and scared. Her ears were shredded in a nasty fight... we got her to the vet and operated her.
Normally the cat starts walking and acting normal in a week after the operation, in case of Zayka it was more than a month - she was hardly moving from her bed in the storage room. Then very slowly she started to get up. We were looking for a home for her, and didn't want to give her a name to get attached so we called her Little Kitty or Zayka ("zayka" literally means "bunny" in Russian, but is widely used in a meaning "sweetie" or "darling"). After our older dog died we decided to adopt Zayka. And the name kinda stuck with her 😃 And what we thought she hadn't been feeling well. she is just really introverted 😂 

So I made her portrait in a bunny hat. Makes sense, right? 😉

I know it is

Hi there,
I am very excited to announce that I form part of Copic España Design Team! I am speechless so why don't we just proceed directly to the project I made for them.

I wasn't quite sure if it is the time to publish Valentine's projects yet... but there are a few reasons why I really wanted to do it. Well, I love clementines, they are good. Also it is a part of a New Year's mood, when I was a kid it was the only time when you could buy them.
And very soon the citruses will be in bloom, you just open the door and get knocked over by a delicious smell (yup, we are lucky to have orange orchards right outside)

No clementine was harmed in the making of this post.
(Actually it's a lie, none was left by the end of the photo shoot)

Be my Valentine Clementine 💖

Some recent sketches

I am drifting towards sketching, I just can't help it 😄

We had pretty tough couple of months and we needed a tiny escape vacations.
A beautiful village, population 8 people. Perfect.
Here is an actual view from the window of Bed&Breakfast we were staying. A real 12th century castle.

Something old, something new, something borrowed...

... and I guess nothing blue. 

I haven´t posted much of my sketches lately, a bit in Instagram but not all of them.
Why? I don't know, there's always something more urgent to do, to take a photo of or publish.
Ultimamente no publico mucho y hoy voy a ahorrarme unas publicaciones y hacerlo todo a la vez.

Anyways here are some of the drawings I made in last couple of weeks and one that I made a year ago but haven't published it until now (revived by #tbt hashtag 😂)
Estos son algunos de mis sketches hechos recientemente más uno hecho hace un año.

So let's start with something old
Y empezamos con este

Hello there,
Just to show you a tiny card with a hidden diamond (yeah! that's a cool name for it 😄) and a Gorjuss girl.

Spring Basket with a digi stamp

Hey there,
Just a quick weekend project here.
It took me couple of days to take some decent photos as it was raining non-stop (yeah, rain in Spain 😛) and the light wasn't very good.
My first attempt with a lamp, na-ah the colours are a bit off...

And here it is in natural light...

If you have no watercolours...

... No pencils, no Copics... But you really really want to try to draw along with an artist you adore...
Well the solution is to use whatever you can find! :-P Like Distress Inks, some water and a brush.
