Sant Jordi '15

Oh yes!! It's my favourite day of the year again: 23rd April, "Sant Jordi"!

I love this date because in Catalonia we have the tradition in which men give a rose to women, and we give men a book as a present (but nowadays we girls get both things, yay!).
That means today Barcelona (and every city in Catalonia) looks even more beautiful with its streets full of roses and books, it's impossible to stay at home today!

And here's the dragon of St. George's legend, I love the story but I always feel sorry for the dragon, he was just a bit hungry! xDD So I prefer to make it look adorable and give the story a happy ending for everyone.

By the way, I'm sorry I've been posting the same picture for the last 3 years :_D I hope next year I'll finally have time enough to make a new illustration to celebrate this beautiful day! :D

Happy world book day and St. George's Day!

¡Feliz Día del Libro!

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...!
