Pan

This week Illustration Friday topic was Myth.
During High School, I've studied tons of acient greek and latin mythology and I always loved the subject.
So, at the beginning I wanted to portrait Hades, which actually used to be painted and sculpted as a chill guy with a cool beard.
Alto, the idea I had in mind required a vertical format and this time I wanted to do something horizontal.
So I remembered one of my favorite tricksters: Pan, which will be used in modern literature, comics, movies and videogames as an archetype upon which many characters will be based on.
Also, Satan.
I guess that running after all those nymphs gave him quite the reputation.
Poor Pan.

I've been more graceful to him and painted him as a peaceful guy.

The Edge

This week's Illustration Friday topic was: Edge.
I hope all of you had a great Holiday, I know I did, despite sickness.
Maybe I took the theme too literal but it was kinda guided by the feel of it.
Hope you enjoy!

Explore - Your Mind

This week Illustration Friday challenge was Explore 
I might have gone a bit too conceptual but this is what I got, hope you enjoy!

Is it Friday yet?

I know, it's barely Monday and I'm posting my contribution for this week's Illustration Friday.
I did a lot of sketches this time, before deciding the subject I was going to draw.
Despite all the nervous ones, the most peaceful and colorful won: good job subconscious.
All done in PS CS6 with a Intuos 4 Wireless Medium.

This week theme was: stretch

Illustration Friday

Incase you didn't know, there is a very nice initiative from Illustration Friday .
How it works: every week a topic is chosen and you have time up to friday to submit your interpretation of it.
It's a neat way to remember to keep drawing like the dickens!
This weeks topic is: Whiskers.
My interpretation of it came in an attempt to test a new tablet I bought (an Intuos 4 wireless, M) and to mainly get used to the new Photoshop (is it new just for me? I kinda feel like it).
Some new brushes are really nice, the next step would be to get a pc which doesn't give me a heart attack crashing the software because it's too old.
In the meanwhile:
