English: Hi everybody! Finally I complete my last artwork. It has not been easy to finish it, some work are easier that other and it was particular difficult to me. But for other wise it was an interesting art experiment. I would like to show how I made an artwork and give some tips to all of you about the process and personal metodology when I decide to make an illustration.
Español: Finalmente he completado mi última obra de arte. No ha sido para nada fácil culminarla. Hay ilustraciones que son mas fáciles que otras, Y esta en lo personal ha sido difícil. Sin embargo fue un interesante experimento. Me gustaría mostrarles mi proceso personal al momento de enfrentar la elaboración de una ilustración

English: Let's start. For this art I think firstly to make a female warrior, like a modern Samurai with jeans into a beautiful landscape. This time I use a picture reference to make body position of female character. I took a picture from internet of Rafael Nadal (you know: famous tennis player), it was just for a reference. People think that artist draw everything from imagination, but it is not complete true. An artist need sometimes makes a lot of drawing study with a lot of references, and draw and draw a lot to understand the shapes of some objet. If you are student artist don`t be afraid to use references and pictures to draw, It is not a copy paste or plagiarize, it is a way to study and improve. After these study you are going to be able to make any object from imagination.
Español: Vamos a empezar! Para este arte pensé en hacer una guerrera Samura moderna en jeans ubicada en un maravilloso paisaje. Para el desarrollo de esta ilustración fue necesario el uso de una referencia para la postura de la guerrera. Tome una fotografía del famoso tenista Español Rafael Nadal. Las personas piensan que el artista debería dibujar todo desde la propia imaginación, sin embargo eso no es cierto. Un artista en momentos necesita tener una cantidad increíble de fotografías y hacer estudios de dibujo con ellas para entender las formas. Si eres estudiante de arte no temas a usar referencias para tus ilustraciones. Después de hacer tantos estudios de dibujo vas a tener la capacidad de dibujar cualquier cosa desde tu imaginación
English: 1. After took Nadal reference I made the sketch of female character in black and White. Very simple.
Español: Despues de tomar la referencia hice la ilustración del personaje femenino con la postura querida, haciendo algunos ajustes y agregándole su espada. No es necesario agregar demasiados detalles en este paso.
English: 2. I applied flat color into character sketch.
Español: Aplique colores planos en el personaje y el fondo.
English: 3. Here I used some shadows to redefine some shapes.
Español: 3. Aqui use algunas sombras para ir definiendo el personaje
English: 4. The character is waiting to face a horrible monster. Also is really important the background and how it looks.
Español: 4. Aqui use algunas sombras para ir definiendo el personaje
English: 5. Here I added some shadows to background.
Español: 5. Agregue algunas sombras al fondo
English: 6. I decided to remove the background for a moment. I need to see the character alone to work better the blend of colors, shadows and light. This step needs a lot of patience.
Español: 6. Decidi quitar el fondo para trabajar el renderizado del personaje principal. Este paso amerita muchísima paciencia
English: 7. I keep working and blending the colors on girl. I tried to eliminate the lines of sketch. Again, patience is the key.
Español: 7. Me mantuve trabajando y mezclando los colores en el personaje. Trate de eliminar las lineas y los contornos. Nuevamente, en este paso la paciencia es la clave de todo.
English: 8. I came back to background and added more details. Just a tips, the mountains at bottom and far away are diffuse and mountains at top are more darker and define. At this point I liked the illustration, but the light and whole mood of scenario it was not convincent me.
Español: 8. Volvi a trabajar en el fondo de la ilustración agregando mas detalles. Tomé como referencia el hecho que las montañas en la distancia se ven claras y a medida que están mas cerca su color es mas oscuro y definido. En esta etapa me gustaba como estaba quedando la ilustración, sin embargo no estaba del todo satisfecho, algo le faltaba...
English: 9. so, I decided to make a huge constrast between shadows and lights. at samurai I added darker zone and define the light moon onto character. It was the thing that I needed to be happy about this illustration. I added clouds and blended the mountain colors.
Español: 9. Entonces decidi hacer un gran cambio y contraste en la dirección de la imagen y de sus luces y sombras. Agregue en el Samurai sombras mas dramáticas y definí sectores en donde recibí La Luz de la luna. Con estos cambios cromatico me senti satisfecho. Agregue más detalles al fondo.
English: 10. Just to finish I changed the shadow of monster (It can be a dragon or something like that) Also I added a tree in front of composition. Also I added more details on background and finally it is complete.
Español: 10. Para terminar cambie la sombra del monstruo (podría ser un dragón o algo parecido?) También agregue un árbol en primer plano de la composición. También agregue mas detalles en el fondo y de esta manera la pieza esta completa.
English: As I said It took a lot of efford. May be was not the time that it took to finish, is more like that this kind of art with a complex background push to me to go out of my comfort zone, but is the only way to improve as an artista (dont you think?). Before to finish I would like to show my favourite part of a post: an animation about how was the process of this artwork.
Español: Come dije, esta ilustración me costo bastante esfuerzo. No fue por el hecho del tiempo invertido, sino mas bien por el hecho de hacer una obra como esta con un fondo complejo me empuja a salir d emi zona de confort, pero por otro lado, esta es la única menera para mejorar como artista (¿no lo creen?). Antes de terminar, me gustaría mostrales mi parte favorita de un post, me refiero a la animación del proceso. Espero os guste.
