Angry Merida

I made this doodle a few weeks ago, while watching Brave, but I felt today was a perfect day to paint it because I'm suffering a terrible headache this morning and I feel as angry as Merida here ;___;

Interview for "Erial Magazine"

English

Hi there!

I've been missing for a while, working hard on some new stuff I'll publish soon, but for now I'm back with some good news I've been longing to tell you!
Some weeks ago I was interviewed by Erial Magazine, we had a great time talking about many things like my days as an art student, my influences and goals, I also explained my point of view as a female artist who draws pin up girls, etc!

You can read the full interview in this issue (but it's only in spanish, sorry! >o< )

Español

¡Hola de nuevo!

He estado ausente un tiempo, trabajando en bastante material nuevo que publicaré pronto, pero ya estoy de vuelta con buenas noticias que deseaba contaros :D

Hace unas semanas el equipo de Erial Magazine me hicieron una entrevista en la que pasamos un rato genial charlando de muchas cosas como mi época de estudiante de arte, mis mayores influencias y objetivos, también expliqué un poco mi punto de vista como artista femenina que dibuja chicas pin up, etc.

Podéis leer la entrevista entera aquí, ¡espero que la disfrutéis! :)

The coffee shop where we met had a lot of super yummy stuff! xD
Además, en la cafetería en la que nos reunimos estaba todo rico, rico xDD

A little drawing I made while we talked.

Thanks Aina, Andrea and Vik for such a wonderful time!
¡Gracias Aina, Andrea y Vik por un rato tan estupendo! ♥
 

"Beauty" commission

These days I've been working on many private commissions, and this one in particular has been one of my favourites ♥
I confess that I love it when people ask me for erotic pin up commissions, they're my favourite thing! This one was kinda personal, so I made something very sensual but elegant and delicate at the same time.

And if you want to ask me for a commission, it's very easy! Just send me an email to  ariartna@gmail.com  describing what you want and I'll be happy to draw for you ;)

As you can imagine, I've had a lot of fun working on this one!

FernGully fan art

Let's see, how many of you remember the movie FernGully?

I watched it a thousand times when I was a kid, and it's been years since the last time but a few days ago I found out the spanish version was all dubbed by just ONE actor... and I never realized it!
It piqued my curiosity, so I watched it again inmediately and wow... the actor (Ángel Garó) really did a good job, the voices are so different!

As you can imagine I felt a bit nostalgic, and I couldn't help to make a little fan art of the pretty Crysta :)

Love isn't perfect!

Happy Valentine's Day! ♥
YAY! It's that time of the year when we can eat tons of chocolates without feeling guilty at all! (oh wait, I do that every day xDD)

This year I wanted to make something funnier and the idea of a not-greatly-skilled Lady Cupid came into my mind. People often says "Love is blind" or complaint like Cupid did something wrong, well here's a theory of what happened :P

Oops! ...Well you know, Love isn't perfect after all!

It has also been a good opportunity to practice more face expressions, it's so fun!

Poker Lady

A few weeks ago, my friends taught me to play poker, at first I had NO IDEA of what I was doing and of course I lost quickly! haha but now... gosh, shame on them, I'm completely obsessed with this game! xDD

Next time I'm going to try this move, I'll beat everyone for sure! xDD

So, thanks to this new obsession, I used this theme for one of my daily doodles. And I liked it so much that I painted it but in a sketchy style, like this other daily doodle.
I must confess I feel really comfortable with this style and I'm going to colour some of my daily sketches like this, because I can't live without adding some colour to everything I do...!

Hello 2015!

So, 2014 has been a crazy and hard-working year... until the very last day!
2 weeks before Christmas I decided to print some calendars, which is something I've wanted to do for many years but never got the time... and surprisingly this year I made it right on time!

 
Wrapping all the calendars was fun but it took a lot of work, thanks to my mother in law for helping me!
(Gràcies per tota l'ajuda, Carme!)

At first I was going to print just a few but as the news began to spread, people kept asking for more and more calendars, so I finally printed a lot more than I thought and... they're all sold out! I still can't believe it!

UPDATE: as I'm still getting requests to purchase my calendar, I'm going to print a few more.
Please if you want one this is your last chance! Send me an email to ariartna@gmail.com to preorder yours ;)

So I've been thinking, maybe it's the moment to get serious about opening my own online store (maybe in Etsy, Society6... or both xDD) so I could sell some prints, bookmarks, or my next year's calendar.. ;)

Please feel free to comment which stuff you would like me to sell, all ideas are welcome! ♥

And talking about New Year's resolutions, I've included "daily sketches" on my list again (like every year xD), these are the first daily doodles of 2015! I want to work even harder this year :D
