Summer Illustrations
Hi Steemers. Ive been out this summer , almost not conexion , but I ve been producing some art that I would like to share with you,, these are some sketches I did on the beach mostly in the area of Vigo, Galicia, Spain.
Others in another spots like the town of Nigran, also a coast village.
I like when i go to the beach carrying my sketchbook. Sometimes I do black and white drawings and other times I do watercolors paintings on location , lately I also start to try the gouache technique. Its like watercolor but opaque.
But most if my sketches are in ink. I m more a drawer than a painter, and Ilike the possibilities than the ink give me, playing with the line weight and the textures, also I enjoying coloring with the ipad, improving the black and white sketch and give it a color mood, with a limitted palette.
I usually start painting in black and white, so its easier for me, then I flatten the greyscale picture and create an adjustment layer to create color from it.
Its another method, not as pure as color on the spot like when i paint with watercolors, but I like it and it give me a good result. Sometimes you want to change your process and try new ways to paint.
I also share here some digital paintings, in a more graphic style, I follow the same proces as the ink sketches, but this time in the coloring process with the Ipad I erase the lines. also the sketch its more simple and stylezed, like an animated cartoon.
I hope you enjoyed this post, I hope to continue posting here, now Im back from holidays and I will move this month to a new city, Ourense. So I will continue sketching and telling you my new adventures.
Keep rocking my people! Keep steeming it!

amazing work! love those process gifs - makes me want to try to paint on an i-pad :D and the watercolors are really very nice! specially like the one with the anchors and the cannon- looks like it was a really hot day.
Thanks! Yes, you should try! I love to combining with pen and ink drawings like the one you see,, it has a sepcial lighter and saturated color difficult to replicate with another medium.. yeah,m it was a really hot day u right,,
Really like the style and looking forward to see more!

Wow, all of these are very lovely. You are truly talented at many different art media, though my favourite is the boat and its reflection on the water in ink. Very gorgeous, yes.
Excellent post, I feel spoiled looking at all these beauties :).
