I'll make some time on Sunday to watercolor these. I want to try selling watercolors and linocut prints this Christmas season. But its a battle against The Algorithm to get noticed, let alone in my area.

A timelapse from yesterday's inks. 3 more days and I finish those.
I wanted to sketch them loosely and faster, but my dear neurodiverse brain won't let me.

Feliz dia del dibujante argentino. Cuiden sus espaldas, compas.

My dad reminded me of this old drawing I did on my early 20s, made with pen nibs and dry bruch. Very Burton.
I don't know from what year exactly. Kids, remeber to date your art.

I do middle grade books & comics and I would love to do picture books for kids +5.
Love to draw monsters, animals and kids figuring out life. Interested in #ND stories.

I finally framed my woodcut print. I should paint the wood in black or blue.

Fui a Once. Encontre una importadora de juguetes vintage que me hizo ya comprar los regalos de navidad. Y esta calabera que la rrompe. No se porque la app no me deja subir videos #Argentina

Gracias generoso amazon, por ese dolar cuarentitres de regalias ( despues de descontar el 30%, por supuesto)
Me han llegado 0.00 despues del 30 y no se si me cobran transferencia por operación. No quiero ni saber.

A rough tournaround I did of these characters before starting the book. Am I going to respect this structure or make little changes along the way? I'll tell you later. I need to draw 40 pages in 2 weeks ( 1 to 3 frames per page and already layouted, but still)

Speaking of, look what I found near mu neighborhood's dumpster. Maybe a sign I should documentate and go foward with the pitch.
( lauchi here is scanning for any hidden surprises)

Much better with mane down.

At least there seem to be some color variations. Wikipedia photo, but these were ( relatively) recent wild horses.

I'm thinking of crafting a pitch for a girl and horse story near the Neolithic. But the documentation... There is margin for some liberties there, but I'm not sure how much. For starters, I don't think tarpans and early horses had long manes at that time. I bet the beautiful long hair is our doing.

Enough for today. Off to buy Sunday night ice-cream.

I had to buy one of those desktop magnifing glass/lamps. I didn't noticed so much in digital. But working with small analogue formats started to get difficult.
October 19, 2025 at 10:05 PM
Small linocut w.i.p. I think I'll order a tabletop magnifying glass. I reached that stage.

Maybe I am being optimistic, but my next linocut project. Each one in individual 10x15 cm plates. I think I'll start with the cat.

I tried to replicate it digitally.

The raw version still holds up in this paper.

A little gnome I watercolored las Sunday. Cotton paper is great, I forgot after years of practicing on cheap paper.
And my old scanner still works, yay!

Let's add one more to the thread:
This one went to my parent's library-dinning room

More linocut prints, now that I'm preparing some gifts. I tried it on the cotton paper again, but this time it got smudged on the top.
Someone suggested painting it in blue, and not bad. Time will tell if it counts or if it's used on the other side for watercolor tests. Cotton paper is expensive!

And you can tell I bought this damn thing. I can't stop rounding corners on every sheet I found.
