Hey guys!

How are you doing today?

Here's something a little different.

I've been getting a bit frustrated with my lack of progress for a while now. I'm not trying to belittle what I do, but I've noticed that, for a couple of years, I have improved very little at drawing and painting. I've been feeling "stuck" with the same techniques and kind of going nowhere.

I enlisted myself into 2 workshops and an epic art course by Eduardo Vieira (an artist who I adore!) and was ready to jump right into my new life! But then, the Corona stroke and everything was cancelled.

I was beginning to think the art course wouldn't happen either, but the school tried out an online system and it worked! Thankfully, I’ve been able to attend to the classes and it’s been surprisingly amazing.

The classes are very much like “Get references and redraw them, again and again, until it’s perfect”, but it’s absurd how much of a difference this makes. I was lacking the motivation to study hard on my own, so having assignments to turn in have been very helpful.

I’ve always wanted to paint something with this semi realistic / cartoon style mix, and I’m finally giving this a decent try! So here it is, a portrait of Steban Eveler being caught doing something he probably shouldn’t, done with a few of the new things I’ve experimented with.

I would love to hear what you guys think!

Thank you for keeping me so motivated, you people are amazing!

I wish you all an amazing day, stay safe!
