Drawing balloons

“I made this drawing in my course in the begging of the year. I’m sharing the balons’ drawing here because two years ago I posted a drawing here and in this drawing I told some things I liked to do and that made me happy, but I didn’t know how to draw well, now I’m here again to share more one thing that make me happy; Drawing! I love to draw, I love the colors and the feelings I have when I am drawing, so, that’s the why I am here again to show how I improved in this two years ago and how I am getting falling for this kind of art.”

Singin’ in the Mud

” ‘Singin’ in the Mud’ is the name of my drawing, but not because I like to do that. It’s because it puts together two of my passions: pigs & classic movies. I’ve loved pigs from an early age and I have a huge collection of them; [they are] what really makes me happy. I’m  also a huge fan of classic movies, and one that always makes me smile is ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ (well, Gene Kelly makes me smile in every movie!). So, when I saw a draw in a mug putting they together, I decided to do the same and ‘Singin’ in the Mud’ was created.”

During a rainy day

About my drawing
“I’m sending a drawing that I made some time ago. I was lying in the hammock in my grandfather’s house, listening to rock music and trying to draw with a bic. It was a rainy day, but I was very happy, because when I’m drawing, I don’t feel like I can be sad―it’s one of the things that I most love! I really like your blog, so I decided to send you one of my experiences. Thanks for your time.”
