Free post

This last week as we didn’t have classes, I dedicate my free time to draw a lot, because I like it, and I got to do an assignment for “Illustration”. Well, while I was working on it, I realize that I didn’t knew how to do the shading of a draw, so, I search on the web, for information, and I found a video about it. In the video they said that, to make the shading on a draw, we need to know the structure of the things we are drawing, so, I realize that I didn’t knew about how to make the structure of the things I draw. Then I kept looking for more information and I found a lot of things about drawing, like gesture, structure, proportions, details. Also I saw some videos about professionals’ illustrators, who said that the way to get better is to observe the things, imagine the structures of those things, simplify them on basic geometry and the most important, draw always, every time and everywhere I can.

Basically everything I knew about drawing was restructure, and I had to start from the basics. So, the rest of the free week I was just trying to applicate the things I learned, on the draws I had to do for the assignment, practicing the basics, learning some techniques, and looking for more and more information. Even now I’m trying to use the little free time I got to draw, so I hoping that one day I’ll be as good as the people I saw those videos.

Travels of my childhood

Have passed a long of time since I went to a beach, but I remember that in my childhood, when I lived on Villa Alemana with my grandparents, we used to go very often. I got very special memories from those travels, especially when we went with my brother. I remember when we were in the bus, and the sea was visible, I always got excited. When we arrive to the beach, I always tried to help looking for the place to put the umbrella, but I didn’t have any idea what places were good. Then before we went to the water with my brother, we played with sand, each one made a tunnel and then tried to connect it to the other on the underground, and it was very funny. When we went to the water, we used to compete in a race to see who was faster, I never win a single one, but I always tried. One of my favorite moments was when we played to “break” the waves, this consisted in hitting the wave with all our strength, trying to disperse it. There were times when a giant wave came and drag us out of the sea, which was very funny and kind of terrifying. It was a little sad when we had to go back to the house but, I knew that we will going to return someday, and that made me happy.
