Comic Con Portugal 2016

I will be at Comic Con Portugal drawing live from Friday to Sunday (9,10, 11 December). Visit Casa da Animação space to find me. :)
See you there!

Starlight Drum Cover

Sharing the love!
Here is the song I've been learning lately: "Starlight", by Muse. :D I adore this song and I feel really happy to be playing it by now. It's been one of my goals since I started learning drums 3 or so months ago. I feel I've made a lot of progress in the past 3 weeks. *heart* (don't mind my seriousness, I'm super focused in listening to the song, because I never count tempo. I know I should! -_-;)
I'm very aware of how much I need to improve, however, so I will be focusing on technique in the next few months. I hope to be so much better when I return to share another drum video with you. :)

Split (dance animation)

I have finally finished it! :D This animation is overdue... Sorry to those who were waiting for it!
One day I experimented with giving life to one of my dance drawings and learned a lot in the process. Sometimes I wish I could animate only my dance stuff all day so I could create lots of different things!

Flowolf

When I named this picture spontaneously (as I usually do with naming) I didn't realize right then that Wolf is Flow written backwards. :) Now I love the name even more! *heart*

I have watched the movie Ashes and Snow on Saturday. I consider it one of the most inspiring things I've seen in my life! It reminded me so much of my dance drawings... It suddely hit me, while watching the movie, that my dancers are mostly underwater dancers and I didn't even know it, :)
One thing is for sure: after watching this precious master piece of a film, my art will never be the same anymore.

Not an inktober...

... because we're in November. :P
Seems like the cold has officially arrived here... *brrr*

Finished Not Perfect

A powerful message for any creative! :) Especially for perfectionists, like me, who tend to let things unfinished just because they look far from what we wish them to be. Never too late to change that tendency. ;)

"The World need people who finish things".

Inktober #31 and drums!!

This is my last inktober entry. Yesterday I visited a special place that holds a lot of dear memories for me. I didn't return there in many years. Coincidentally, I had a dream of that place the night before, when I had no plans whatsoever to visit the next morning. :D I only visited because, by chance, I happened to be nearby. Perhaps the dream influenced me to go. Anyhow, I felt like drawing the moment. :)

Im also sharing another moment of yesterday: the recording of my first drum cover. :D A song by Angus and Julia Stone. I started to learn this song a month ago. I know I do a lot of mistakes, sorry! I'm a beginner who started about 2,5 months ago, with less than 1 hour or so per week on the drum set. ;) So, still, I'm very happy to have learnt a song by now! (two, actually)
I'm already training another one, much more challenging for me, but still relatively easy for an experienced drummer. I'm happy and excited with it! Hope I can share it soon than I think, ahah!

Inktober #29

Mother Nature. :)
Made this for a friend today.

Inktober #26

"Every flower blooms at its own pace." (quote by Suzy Kassem)

Patience is key.

Inktober #23

:)

Can't say much, except smile.

Inktober #20

My favorite animal. :)
I did it yesterday while having breakfast, eheh.

Inktober #18

Joy and energy at a dance class! *heart* With my favorite dancer.

Inktober #17

Had to miss 2 inktobers this weekend... too busy. Yesterday I was sick in bed, but I still managed to make a drawing when I was feeling better at night. :) 

Inktober #14

How a big "F" can change the meaning of a whole sentence... ;)

(it's a Star Wars reference, for those who may not know)

Inktober #13

Happened to me yesterday. Always trust your gut feeling, even if your mind is telling you "be reasonable". Your intuition knows best and is your best friend.

Inktober #12

Yeah... been really tired lately. 

Inktober #11

Here's a more detailed one, to compensate for the lack of Inktober #10. ;)

It's a tribute to one of the biggest loves of my life, Michael Jackson, and, in a way, it's because of him that I couldn't make any drawing yesterday, ahah... ;)
So I finished the MJ drawing I started in his honor at his birthday in August.

I usually draw MJ by heart, and this was no exception. :)

Inktober #09

My 7 year old in Movie Director mode, today on the bus. So silly. I cried laughing.
