My second article for "Character Design Quarterly" #36 "Digging for inspiration is out!!

Check out what just arrived home  My second article for the magazine Character Design Quarterly #36 "Digging for inspiration" is out!! This time around I unravel the step by step of my creative process using as an example the character design of "Mary" from my personal project "Anning's fossil depot".

It made me SO happy to see the article printed on such quality paper and I LOVED how the editorial team created this wonderful layout design for its pages. Thank you so so so much to the Character Design Quarterly for inviting me once again to publish with them, it's always a pleasure! 

If you would like to get the magazine shipped to your home and read all the lovely articles in it, check out the 3DTotal shop

Salamanca plein air oil painting 💫

Hola everybodyyy! Last Sunday I had SUCH a great time participating in the yearly plein air painting event “Salamanca monumental” organized by @lagacetadesalamanca 🎨💫

It was my first time ever painting with oils on the street + the first time painting a location in such a big format! I was feeling a bit intimidated at first but, the moment I picked up this spot and heard the storks clattering their beaks I felt an instant sense of peace and enjoyment. 

I had around 6 hours to paint it and even got selected with a mention of honor!! (I still can’t believe it! 😱🙏)

If you are in Salamanca, you can see my piece + all the selected artworks at the gallery “La Salina” in the city centre until the 8th of July! 🌱🌱🌱
