KingFisher

Litte Kingfishers on Japanese postcard paper for my Patreon original rewards! I love the proportions of this type of bird 🧡💙

Going to Japan!!

BIG NEWS!! I'm going to Japan for 1½ months to do an artist residency at "Almost Perfect Tokyo" ! I've been planning this for more than a year now and it'll be my first time embarking on an adventure like this: not for work, not for others, but for my own creative self :.) 

Those of you who know me well know how much of a workaholic I tend to be so I'm really curious to see what life is gonna feel like after pushing this "pause" button. I can't wait to explore, observe and absorb the world around me and sketch every little angle of it.

If you're curious to see how it goes I will be posting weekly updates on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/esthermoralesart

See you when I'm back and thanks for all your support and hyping messages!! Big hugs! :D

Zodiac + Tarot life drawing session

A few weeks ago I attended this super fun life drawing session hosted by @veersdrawings and modelled by @radicalroxie. She performed such cool and inspiring poses representing all the zodiac signs and some of the arcana tarot cards figures! I know nothing about astrology or tarot but the way Roxie was performing each pose had a lot of character and storytelling and they were super fun to draw! Thanks so much for organising this session Veer! :D

"Birds of Prey" life drawing session

I finally got some time to scan the sketches from last month's Birds of Prey life drawing session at @gallerynucleus LA! Hosted by @thedrawingclub_la + @raptor_events this was the most special sketching session of my life!! Getting to have these beautiful birds so close and understanding more about their anatomy, personalities and behaviour was absolutely priceless. Thanks SO much to all the organisers for making this possible!! 

Red cranes

Red-crowned cranes are one of the rarest in the world, so much so that in some countries they are considered a sign of good luck if you get to see one in the wild ✨🪶

Some original drawings I did for my patrons this month. These babies are already flying to their new homes ❤️:3

Life drawing session with Draw_Brighton

Some more life drawing sketchini with @Draw_Brighton! This time modelled by the fantastic photographer and model Andrea Morani. 

Life drawing session

A few weeks ago @veersdrawings hosted a super cool life drawing session with the professional bodybuilder @hannah_hussein13 ! Her poses were super epic and I learned so much about anatomy and strength within model figure drawing.

I love how with each of these sessions I widen my library of different body types to create more diverse characters afterwards :D
