Day #8 Today painting is inspired by the Japanese folklore with the prompt Yokai which I combined with the Stars, I love to experiment lines and textures in each painting, the result seems very pretty and each day is surprising! I didn’t have much time today, so this one has been pretty quick! Made it in less than 30 minutes 🙂 I hope you get inspired by this daily challenge and motivate you to start drawing or creating in the medium you feel closer to you! ❤

Day #7 Today is the seventh day which means the first week of te challenges is over I am happy about my first 7 drawings you can see all of them in my Gallery Today prompts are Exhausted and Haunted Object, I wanted to create an image of full exhaustion in the girl pose and I actually had no idea on what to add as haunted object 😉 but I have decided for the pointy triangles which I think suits nicely my drawing!

Day #6 today prompts are more oriented to Dark Art. Very challenging since my art usually is not dark style but isn’t new to me to create in this style but not my usual. This is why these challenges are great to test yourself and your art on a daily basis. I had to get inspired to create a Drooling Ghost, isn’t too easy to make dark art not so dark and I wanted to create something more hauntingly, cold than spooky. I was able to deliver exactly what I wanted my ghost to look like.

Day #5 For today prompts I have created a drawing more as illustration style, and I have decided that my futuristic character needs the company of her chicken pet while spending her time in Laboratory, because, she is an animal lover, doesn’t eat and doesn’t do animal testing, so she just love him and enjoy his company! ❤

Day #4 Today painting had been a fun creation of transparency and layered work and I am still going with my texture and new ways to paint experimentation! I love how this look and I guess it perfectly capture the two prompts in one visual representation. What do you think?

Day #3 Today prompt needed some quite of ideas and brainstorming to combine the two prompts, for Cryptid I have created my vision of a Jackalope with gold inked antlers with a very sweet look as you can see my illustrations are not so much Halloween looking inspired, next to the jackalope for the prompt Roasted I have created a girl who is made out of dissolving smoke! I didn’t wanted to roast anyone in my drawing! 🙂 Well I hope you all like it and enjoying my daily posts!

Hello everyone I hope that you all are enjoying Spring!
Today I have a nice announcement to do…
time has arrived and today I am very happy to post again about one of my latest collaboration and special commission done during the past months. This has been a great and interesting project that I have been working on!
During last Summer I was contacted by British Author MJ Mallon for the creation of some character illustrations for her new book. We have had a wonderful collaboration developed in the coming soon publication of the book in paperback edition, including my character illustrations. MJ Mallon is a novel’s writer and a dear friend in our Blog-World Community. To get to know more about her, please visit her Blog at MJ Mallon Author!
Today is also the start of MJ blog tour for the release of her paperback – The Curse of Time Book One Bloodstone. There will be a celebration on her blog, everyone is invited!
This post is the first stop on the #ABRSC tour, other blogs will follow in the next coming days.
The beautiful book is a fantasy novel for young adults, inspired by supernatural, magic and paranormal. Many themes are touched into the intriguing and captivating story of Amelina Scott, a fifteen years old girl that lives in Cambridge, England. With some magic help, Amelina discovers the truth of a shocking curse that destroyed her family happiness. If you like magic and supernatural you would love this novel. This is the first book and according to author MJ Mallon it would be a sequel and so a series.
The title is “The Curse Of Time” #1 Bloodstone first published as Kindle Edition “Not Illustrated” launched August 2017.
Today I am very happy to announce that the book would be released soon in paperback edition during April 2018. I have created the Illustrations of two characters “Esme and the Creature Eruterac” I loved to create these watercolor paintings as portraits of the intriguing characters, MJ described them to me so well that I was able to bring them alive on paper. I am so honored and very happy that my illustrations are included in black and white into the paperback edition, it is a great accomplishment and means a lot to me. This year you will see other great collaborations and very interesting projects that I am working on. Keep following!
I have created the watercolor painting for two characters “Esme” the girl trapped in the mirror and ” The Creature” a scary entity and creepy guardian.
