I am so excited the first 10 days of this amazing INKTOBER Challenge are going great so far! So much inspiration with my Ylia Character! I love drawing her in all the different situations prompted by the Official list of words she became alive from my pen on October 1st and every day passing is a new adventure she brings happiness and joy but also daily wisdom with the quotes that I am writing. There are great projects for Ylia future! I hope that you will follow her journey!
I am so stunned after I post this on Instagram I received 1,000 likes in less than 1 hour that’s amazing! Thanks!
Thank you everyone for the beautiful words of encouragement that I receive every day here with your precious comments!

Day 7 : LOST When Ylia was sent to the earth she had to travel on board of her space-disc for very long time, passing stars, galaxies and planets. For a moment she had to stop in the middle of the Universe because she felt lost. She had to think what direction was right to take and if she really wanted to land on Earth.
Day 6 : HIDDEN Ylia love life in every form and shape. She enjoy to walk in the wood and in the mist, between the gigantic tall trees. She love to look for hidden places and sometimes she met lovely little creature hiding into the wood.
Day 5 : SAD
Sometimes after all the actions of her life Ylia like to stop everything and go to have some time alone. She find a spot and looking at the beautiful moon in the darkest sky she feel like she can touch the stars letting the sadness of the moment dissolve.
Day 4 : HUNGRY
When Ylia arrived to this world she discovered that humans eat all kind of food, some are good and some are not so good to maintain her superpowerful health, nature offer so much good fresh food, but once in a while when she is hungry she loves to eat some good homemade pizza.
Day 3: COLLECT
Ylia love to be free in the nature of this Earth. She is inspired, amused and amazed by the oceans and seas, she feel in her element walking on the shore in every season listening the beautiful sound of the breaking weaves and breathing the restoring air. She collect seashells and listen to their stories of millions of years.
Today I am late to post Day 3 I wasn’t at home. I was able to finish my drawing on time earlier just unable to post it and also if right now is late at night I post it anyway. I enjoyed very much to create Day 3 “Collect” another creative image for my character Ylia and because I love seashells! I hope that you like it too I will post Day #4 later on today! This challenge is amazing I have read from Jake Parker Instagram that there is a great response more that 200,000 of artists are posting every day! I am happy and proud to be part of this ❤

“WHEN NATURE MEETS HUMANS” Digital Portraits Collection
Portrait #5
– Light and Darkness –
With today post I am participating to Discover Weekly Photo Challenge – Portraits. I am very excited to share with you one of my digital creations. This is Portrait #5 part of my experimental Digital-Art Portraits Collection. I love working on this concept “When Nature Meet Humans” it is always challenging and fascinating for me to search for the amazing photos that inspire my creations. I gave this Portrait the title of “Light and Darkness“.
I like to experiment new ideas and concepts that are helping me to evolve and grow with my art and creativity. I always loved to work in Digital and apply my Art to this “Techno-Medium” (I just made up this definition of Art). One of my passion is Photography I like to take photos and I like to work with photos, manipulating images blending and layering them, being able to give life to a new created photo as result of many. Here if you are a new follower or you missed my older posts you can see my Digital Art . I also made a Gallery for the “Nature Meets Humans Portraits Collection” you can see the other portraits here.
I am very inspired and happy to work on this unique Collection of Artistic one of a kind Digital Portraits. I love to thank all of you for sharing my Art and for all the great feedbacks and comments left on this Blog. Your presence means a lot to me is always encouraging and motivating to keep going on, evolving and experimenting with my creativity.
This portrait it is the #5 of this Collection, the title is “Light and Darkness” and I like to give a positive message of hope saying that “There is always light after the dark”.
I love the deep contrast and the blue color fusing in the black darkness and the lighting created by the full moon that brings out the reality of the eyes over the other nature elements in the background. This portrait was very intriguing and inspiring to create.
To be able to create this portrait and all the other ones I used beautiful photos found on Pinterest most of the images used are not my own Photography (I apologize but I haven’t found the Photographers names to give Credits if anyone recognize their photos please let me know).
I love this idea to mix Nature with Humans and create some unique and very different kinds of portraits…This Collection is created mostly for my own Artistic purpose and to share with you some of my Digital-Art abilities.
If you’re interested in purchase a custom and unique portrait like the ones in this Collection you can. I will create one exclusively for you, using your own personal memories photos, I will create your own personal and unique custom Digital Art Portrait, for more info and details please contact me.
