Every Saturday I will post the drawings I made during the week and comment on how it was, the difficulties, what I learned, etc.

This week I made two drawings in the sketchbook inspired by cyborgs. I love the theme and feel like it could be an interesting universe to explore. I even ventured into something entirely new for me: creating an environment for one of them — which provided me with learning and even more inspiration, as I generally only tend to draw faces. In addition, I took the opportunity to risk more using ink because I always draw with pencils and the result was incredible! I noticed how more confident I am when trying new things, without fear of making mistakes and taking risks.

I also made a drawing inspired by that beautiful angel sculpture — Angel of Grief — which even appears on some CD covers of bands such as Odes of Ecstasy, Evanescence, Tea Party, etc. which, in fact, I saw for the first time on the first Nightwish CD I heard, Once.

It is an 1894 statue of the American sculptor William Wetmore Story. It serves as the stone grave for the artist and his wife Emelyn Story, in the Protestant Cemetery (officially called Acatholic cemetery) in Rome. There is a replica made in 1906 in Stanford Mausoleum, replacing one created in 1901 that was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Source — Wikipedia

I ended up doing the cartoon because of a mini documentary I saw of him on the album coverOnce from Nightwish that you can check out below:

I'm venturing into the world of watercolor as well. Last week I watched some videos to learn and I was playing a bit. You can check the results below:

I have some really cool brushes that I'm still learning to use, to get used to, but what I've loved the most so far is the brush Koi, from Sakura. It has a water reservoir and is so good to use! It looks like you're using a pencil or pen. I highly recommend it!

And that's it for today! There will be more next week!
