I like to draw women. Simply that.

I draw women because I am a woman, and I feel that every time I do so I speak to millions of women who do not know me and who I do not know, but we share something: joy, sadness, motherhood, disappointment, indignation; any feeling or emotion.

Knowing all of them helps me to know myself. I become others, like that album that I enjoyed so much (Eu me transformo em outras), by the Artist Zélia Duncan.

I hope you enjoy. Here is my creative process.

Me gusta dibujar mujeres. Simplemente eso.

Dibujo mujeres porque soy mujer, y siento que cada vez que lo hago hablo con millones de mujeres que no me conocen y que no conozco, pero compartimos algo: alegría, tristeza, maternidad, decepción, indignación; cualquier sentimiento o emoción.

Conocerlas a todas me ayuda a conocerme a mi misma. Yo me transformo en otras, como ese album que tanto de disfrutado, de la Artista Zélia Duncan.

Espero que lo disfruten. Aquí les dejo mi proceso creativo.

Step 1: sketch.
I draw an sketch digitally. Sometimes, I like to change some details as I color.

Step 2: Background skin color
Set a background skin color helps me to maintain the temperature I want. In this case I wanted to be warm. It works well also with green, purple and blue.

Step 3: Painting the skin
There is no much to explain. I start painting the skin in a new layer.

Step 4: Line art
I hide the sketch line layer and I paint a new line with the texture I want.

Step 5: Hair and details
I painted the hair different from my sketch. I just think this way is more dynamic.
I painted all the details in her face, some shadows and lights too.

Step 6: Background
I painted with the airbrush with this warm green and yellow.
