Hi everyone. Sorry for not posting lately. I have been kind of busy making another illustration and sketching the one that follows it. But last month was really great. |

Hi everyone! Last month I was able to enter a painting for a contest organized by a museum only focused on watercolor paintings, called Museo de la Acuarela Alfredo Guati Rojo, in Mexico City. The contest consisted on sending your painting with an specific theme, if you are selected you are able to participate on the anual group's exhibition and share your painting during a couple of weeks :).

皆さん、お久しぶりです。最近になんか元気ではなかったので、なにも書きませんでした。 しかし、昨日は家族と一緒な素敵な所へいきました。 土地の名前はXochicalco(650 - 900 AC ). といいます。 名前は、Nahuatlの弁で、花の家の所、の意味です。 そこに行くのが一番で、楽しかったです。博物館が小さかっただけど、出土地が大きいでした。 写真がたくさんとりました、博物館の中で。 Hi Everyone! Long time I don't post over here. I have been really down lately, sorry. But yesterday, I decided to go with my family to an ancient place, named Xochicalco, an hour away from our city. Xochicalco's name means 'The place of the house of flowers'. The museum there is a little small, but it has several archeological objects. I took a lot of pictures over there. |
出土ものがすごかったです。The archeological objects were amazing.
このジャガーの彫刻が何とか中国の竜の彫刻に似てるでしょうか。不思議ですよね。 Don't you think this sculpture of a jaguar looks a lot alike the chinese dragons? Very curious right?
外で遺跡をみて、ピラミドも、洞も、昔の天文台もあります。景色もすごかったです。Outside, you will find the ruins of the city: piramids, man made caves and ancient observatories.
天気の暑さのせいで疲れましたか゛、楽しかったで、また来るかな。またね! Because of the hot and sunny weather I got a little tired, but it really worthed, I think I will come back sometime soon. Cheers!
Hi everyone, today I went to an art and drawing school here in my city, and I´m trying to learn the basics of drawing, because even I draw illustrations, I still don´t know some of the basics, so I need to learn everything from the beginning.
I draw this kitty in order to practice shadows and sources of light. It seems simple but I fighted a lot with the pencil in order to make shadows stronger, because I take the pencil different so I need to give extra strenght to my hand and is kind of painful after a couple of minutes. Anyway, I was able to finish it kind of properly :P.
I will do my best next time. I want to learn how to draw human body and movements soon, also computer painting XD.
See you!

皆さん、お久しぶりです( ・ิω・)ノ ิ 。実は最近に忙しくて、ポストをしたことないし。ごめんなさいm(_ _)m。
今日は母はおばあさんのために、この美味しいなカロットケーキを作りました、母の日のために。レストランのケーキのような味がありました(*^ω^*)。
Hi everybody, long time we don't see! Actually I have been very busy, with work and everyting, I apologize...
As everybody knows, today was Mother's Day, so I gave a present to my mom, and she gave a present to my grandmother too. Also, she prepared a carrot cake with a new recipe, and it was yummy! This recipe is pretty similar to the ones from restaurant´s cakes I have tried before, so it deserves a 10 for sure. Well, see you soon!

Hi everyone. Taking aside the hardships I suffered during my last months in
Japan because of influenza and anxiety crisis, there's several things I miss
about living there. I made a little list about things I miss a lot:
The
safety almost everywhere and everytime of the day. There it was the first time I
was able to walk under the nightlights and enjoy the nightlife, specially the
gay district.
The gay district's bar: bartenders and ladies there where
so polite and the atmosphere was so relaxed I felt confident and happy. I just
wish I could have gone more often, but you know, everything is expensive there
^-^;.
The several places you can go by train. You can visit several
areas in just one day thanks to the subway. Depending of you station you can
find calm areas, store areas, zoos, acuarium, spas and onsen baths, parks,
nature and temples, everything can be found in Tokyo, it's true ^^!
The
convenience stores: Full of yummy things, like instant soups (much better than
the nissin ones :P), desserts, snacks, traditional foods depending the season
and different drinks like green tea milk and grean tea cappucino .
The
curry pasta and shichuu pasta packs were so yummy if you prepare them with some
vegetables, I wish I could get them from here but pretty sure it would be
expensive *_*.
The public baths, onsen, the big bathub in my sharehouse,
I wish I could have one here...and the bath powder were great! The bath powders
are aromatic powders that you put inside your bathtub and help you to relax, or
feel like you're in an onsen bath, or makes your skin look healthier and softer.
There's hundreds of them, different aromas and purposes.
The hundreds of
stores you can visit there is amazing. From little to big bookstores, little
theme cafes, jewerly, toys, sanrio stores (you know)...you can never get bored
while having a walk around ^-^.
The UFO Catchers: Really, I was addicted
to them, even it costed me money to get little plushes or big ones, cellphone
straps or little figures. I couldn't walk without trying to get a little bunny
or rilakuma bear from thoses machines. The good thing is that getting a prize
from these machines are much easier than the one we have here with ugly and
cheap plushes ^-^;.
The maccha anko mochi, like little rice candies with
sweet bean inside and polvered with some maccha tea outside, chewy and with a
pretty soft flavor .
The green tea cookies: From any kind, I loved them! My
favorites were a cheap ones I had the chance to taste while having to sleep
inside a web-cafe (I don't like sleeping inside web-cafes :P), with chocochips
inside. I ate a lot ^-^!
Green tea chocolate, a must have snack, it
really tastes good ^-^!
The art and illustration galleries: Because I
want someday to share or publish my illustrations, I was amazed how
illustrator's works were so appreciated there, with their own exhibitions, goods
and toys dedicated to them. There's even a magazine dedicated to illustrators
(it's name is MOE, I got some of them), and I wish I could be someday in that
magazine .
The feeling of sleeping inside a futon bed in a tatami room
.
The Sukiya and Yoshinoya restaurants: very cheap but yummy
food^^.
The big bookstores and art stores.
The Tonkotsu
ramen, made with pig bones boiled during more than a day, it's so juicy and full
of calories XD!
Wow, this post was larger than I thought. Sorry but I
had to take out from my chest and share my experiences with you. Well, good
night^^!
