Illustration Friday Topic: Racing

Another oldie for today's topic. This is from Carlos and was one of his first Photoshop projects. Not bad for a first Photoshop effort eh?

Illustration Friday Topic: Spooky

Here's an old piece from Carlos. This was part of his Senior Thesis at Otis College of Art and Design. It's an illustration of the trenches from WWI. Spooky indeed.

Studio cleanup today!

So we just moved about a month ago, and we are creating an art studio/workout studio in our garage. I'll post pics tonight. I wish I had pics of when we first moved in, that garage was packed with boxes! It's much better now, but we plan on making it AWESOME. More later.

For now, here's a pic of the day. I'm just going to post something each day, like I was doing, but it could be old, it could be new, it could be progress, or it could be something totally random. So enjoy...

An oldie but a goodie:



Digital Portrait of Diego Corrales by Carlos Valdivia

A Piece of My Mind Each Day. 01-18-10

With so much going on lately, I'm posting some oldies but goodies today. These were the first painting steps when working on the commissioned painting here: http://beenznrice.blogspot.com/2010/01/taking-requests-for-commissioned.html

Found these today so I thought I'd share. This is one of my favorite steps in the process.

Illustration Friday Topic: Worn

Another oldie but goodie. This was from a submit to do a graphic novel, which we didn't get, but the pieces Carlos did for it were great. Here's our Illustration Friday submission for the topic: Worn.
