Tati, the Artsy

Human body is complex… Curves, muscles, shapes, hands, feet, face… Wow! Because of that I love to study anatomy more than buildings, landscape, or even perspective. Female or male nude are really fascinating!
So, to help me, I get some magazines (Yes, Playboy magazines. That’s why I’m good at drawing female nude. Well, I would love to get at least one male nude magazine, but they are all gay magazines!) and photos on internet – like GettyImages.com.
The sketches above are some studies using images from PoseManiacs.com as reference. This site is amazing, I totally recommend! If you’re like me, and don’t have a model to pose for your sketches or paintings, that’s a good help.

Well… I’ve been busy lately, retouching my paintings, creating new ones, choosing some illustrations to become prints and painting greeting cards… Everything for my online store that I want to launch this month – hope so. So, I’m just sharing some doodles from my sketchbook. Yeah, I really love ballpoint pen and felt markers! And create characters too… Check out the top left corner, and meet my Catarrh Monster! Cute, eh?

Sometimes I find my sketches more interesting than my illustrations. So, I want to share some of my doodles. This one, that I’m naming “Thinking”, was made yesterday, and it’s my favourite until now. No, I didn’t get any reference to draw this woman; she’s from my mind. Her hand too… because of that I believe I should see some pics and study more anatomy. However, I love her hand! I’m really thinking about create an illustration based in this sketch. What do you think?
Oh, I used a black ballpoint pen (I’m not a fan of pencils…) and a pink felt marker.

It’s my first online sketch. I love to create cute characters. Hmmm…. Name? Well, Blue Thing?
Anyway, welcome to my blog!
