Improving as an illustrator: Diving class.
From time to time I need to draw something unrelated to any project in order to try new techniques, ideas, or simply improving my skills. Sometimes if you don´t have an idea that excites you and makes you "see" what you want to do, starting is a problem, especially if there are other jobs awaiting. Ideas happen frequently when I go to sleep, wake up or just walking with my dog at night.
I saw this picture in my mind when is was waking up, still asleep, some days ago. I guess it was originated from feeling of floating in the dream and the fact that i see to much a lot of kids lately at my Karate teacher practices. Also, I had a great time drawing jokes and details here and there; if not, I get bored drawing.
In this illustration I see a noticeable progress in character posing, with an improvement in dynamics, rythm and flow; improvements also in color and light treatment. In any case, there is still a lot of work and learning ahead and I have also to define more my own style, but all the work done in the last year and a half its starting to worth the price.
