Concept art

Daily painting: Day 7

Hello! I finally have wi-fi in the new place! Not that it matters though...
These past few days I have been practicing conceptual art since my biggest ambition is to become a concept artist. It would be my dream job...

I can't wait to be back at uni since this second year we'll be going in depth on digital painting! I am really excited about it.

I have been working on this for four days I think and it has changed so much! At first it wasn't even a conceptual painting but then it gradually turned into this.
I am still working on it and hopefully I'll finish it by the end of the weekend (fingers crossed).

Also, I started a second project and this is the initial sketch:

Daily painting: Day 6

The internet has been pretty unstable recently as the company is installing wi-fi and it makes me wonder how, in a city full of students, some student residences still offer internet via ethernet cable...

Anyway, because yestarday I had no internet I decided to paint with water colours.

They're sketches, nothing too fancy, although I plan on doing a detail painting with acrylics at some point.

Daily painting: Day 5

Hello! These past few days haven't been very eventful although yesterday I helped at the university open day. It was quite nice to talk to most likely "new first years" in the Game art course. Also, the lecturer was one of our visual design tutors so he gave me good tips in terms of getting started on a conceptual drawing/painting. Therefore I feel quite happy at the moment.

Also, the world cup is ending and sadly Spain didn't get as far as I wanted them to....but because everyone is very excited about the whole event I decided to paint something related to the world cup.

It took me about 2 days to complete even though it is quite rough...
I used references for the buildings as I can't draw those sort of things from imagination just yet.
Practise, practise, practise!

A bad day

Daily painting: day 4

For two days I have not been able to produce any work of art. Anything I drew or painted looked horrible. I just couldn't do any art.
Out of frustration I just strated splashing watercolours into a page and this is the result of my feelings at that time.

After I finished this painting I felt very relaxed and even though I wasn't in the mood to paint anything else, it helped me to regain peace of mind.

It is funny to think that the only way to "cure" myself from a bad art day is to do art.

Daily painting: Day 3

This painting started as a ballerina but when I added the mask something else invaded my mind and this is the result. I'd say I took inspiration on the japanese folk tale yuki no onna (the snow woman).



P.S  Today i found out I passed my first year of uni! The grades where not as good as I wanted them to be which makes me sad and determined to get a better grade.

I think of this first year as a learning experience, I learned to know myself and I am ready to take next year challenge and give a 100%.
