2017 Review: My best paintings
Revisiting the drawings I uploaded this year I was shocked to see that one of the nine wasn't published here before, I thought that I would have shared all on steemit but it wasn't. That's why I'll make a brief comment when we get to "the non published"
This year was full of dreams and some remain smouldering for this year that's about to start. I felt really proud for the repercussion that some of my drawings achieved in the community ("The long road" obtained the most upvotes in one of my posts ever) and, in general, it was really positive.
If I had to distinguish with a word this year I would choose: Challenge. Challenges I put myself into, as you can see below in my illustrations the paper is different in some and that's because I tried to use watercolor on very thin papers to improve my handle with water, something key in this technique. The results weren't always what I would have wanted to be but I feel satisfied knowing all I've learned.
This drawings were chosen by my followers on Instagram (my username it's also @siucatti) and as an introduction, I wanted to show you the most liked from 2015 and 2016 before the best 9 from this year.
2015 - Astronaut Anna Fisher
2016 - Two Footprints
And now, the best from 2017
"The Cave of Forgotten Dreams - Tiger"
"MechWarrior and the Universe Battletech"
"La dame dans l'auto avec des lunettes et un fusil"
"Saved by the moon"(The non published)
With this illustration I wanted to represent the differences between men and women, this idea came from the time I spent reading Osho speeches transcriptions about his ideas, one of his concepts portrayed the idea of how we all have to take different journeys to connect with our essence, who we truly are, and the magic things that happens when we end up finding us, men and women, in the middle of our path. I don't consider myself a follower but I like to learn about what people believe in and take from that my own conclusion.
And these were the most liked by my followers. I hope you share with me this year that is about to start and wish that every day we get one step closer of fulfilling our dreams. Happy new year!
I really like "The long road" with its early XX century orientalist style.

i particularly like the animal paintings, they look so real especially the tiger one! the Halloween for 90's kids bring back some memories :P
Thank you! Yes, the tiger is one of my favorites too, I used really thin paper and when I finished I was surprised at how it ended up looking. Happy new year!
happy new year too with more paintings!
Haces un buen trabajo no dejes de dibujar tienes talento ;)
Gracias Lourdes! Un placer.
Awesome drawings bro
Thanks man!
These are amazing, it deserves a huge upvote!
😁 😁
Great achievements you have there! Keep drawing keep steeming!
Thank you and happy New Year!
really nice stuff! I could never wrap my head around watercolour beyond just using it as an accent but you managed to get some really vibrant colours in there. I like The Long Road in particular.
Happy new year to you and I'm looking forward to seeing more new artwork from you in the new year! :D
Thank you! It's just trial and error, using the brush really loaded can be a little overwhelming but it's just a learning process. You can check the progress photos for The Long Road in the post linked in the title.
Happy new year to you too!
Yes I saw that! I love stuff like that - there's always something new to learn through watching processes.... :)
