Five years and five stitches

My son Vasco is five years old, and since last wednesday, has five stitches as well. Seems that he was playing in the school yard with her loved "Jane"...

Estrenando temporada de playa

Hace calorazo en Sevilla así que ayer cogimos bártulos y fumos a estrenar la temporada familiar de playa.
Fuimos a Punta Umbría en Huelva.

It´s really hot in Seville this week, so yesterday we started the family beach season.
We went to Punta Umbria in Huelva.



Retraté a más de un cuerpo escombro, incluida mi madre, a la que no le gustó nada este primer retrato que le hice, prefiere el de la derecha, que no se le ve la cara... ¿Qué pensáis?

My mother was also fulminant portrayed while she was sunbathing after bathing. 

She was not very happy with the first portrait I made her merciless. She prefers the one in the right...
What do you think?

2013 can rest now

In a few hours, this year will be over. Already!

So let's put 2013 to sleep and hope 2014 will be just as good, if not better.

This is how my Dad watches TV

Have a glood slide into the new year, as we say around here. Gudde Rutsch am neie Joer!

Mi madre, con sus gafas anaranjadas, nos recuerda a John Lennon.

Should He Divorce Me?

Maybe he should divorce me? Though, it does portray his likeness quite well!! Nah, he'd never divorce me over a terrible portrait. He says it looks better than photos taken of him.

I did this portrait this summer before PWOM (Yeah, I gave it an acronym, can I do that?) was a blog. Husband is quite often sitting with his computer like this. So it is a good way to sketch him, though, he seems to wiggle quite often!

I can't wait to show you some others soon!  

RETRATO DE FAMILIA

Buscando entre los dibujos antiguos retratos de gente conocida ( que hace más gracia) , me he encontrado este grupo familiar. La verdad es que el parecido con los interesados es remoto, pero de eso va este blog ¿ no?

My most mersyless model

I love to sketch my family members, and my most popular model is my youngest daughter Noa. She got used to my "not always nice" style, I educated her with sentences like "drawing isn't a photograph" and "that's the way I see you". So now she's kind of likes my sketches of her. I have a big collection of her sketches, most of them I use to draw while she was eating. Sharing here some of them :)

 Do you use to draw your family members?

My daughter Alice

Sweet Alice

Self-portrait

I never did a self-portrait, but sometimes I draw my twin brother, which is basicly the same thing, with a huge advantage: in the end I can always make fun of him... Is undeniable, the guy looks extremely ugly! Looks like he was hit by an uncontrolled bus...

ahhhh, the family

My daughter looks a face longer than usual when she is upset, then it´s a great time for sketching her without any mercy.

Big foot!

Portrait from a nice lady, with her long and wide feet into a plastic bowl, filled with hot water for a nails job.
Due privacy reasons I can not identify this lady, because I can lose the right for inheritance, but I can let a clue: it is an immediate family member, and it is not my father...
