These are my last Nude drawings for this side of the year, I will be back with more nude drawing in January. Although, I do hope I will be able to post a few paintings before the year finish if I manage some time.
I still finding painfully difficult with the nude drawings when I think I grasped the idea and I got the hanger of it just to lose completely my confidence the next drawing..but I do eventually have a  good one after few bad ones, nevertheless, I'd like to share with you my struggles as much as  my successes in here as I know I am not alone.

Blue Wizard

Here is Blue Wizard doing a tarot reading for me ...he is also a healer and a studious in the subjects of Witchcraft, Spiritualism, Paganism and Theosophy. I decided to do this painting for the last Halloween..the painting didn't came out the way I imagined but still...

Acrylic on paper board

Flying girls

I have this painting that I did a few months ago and I didn't like so I decided to paint over it and create a new one...little flying girls...

Acrylic on plywood

By the way I hope you like my new redesigned website. It was subtle changes of color background and pictures more bigger... I like to change things around from time to time so people don't get bored or I don't  get too comfortable with my old ways.

My latest drawings  is a  Male nude and he  is a great model as he makes very interesting and exciting poses..shame that sometimes I can not draw his entire body in the quick poses as I get too concentrate in the head or in the colors or whatever else about the drawing I am doing that I miss out in drawing the whole body in the quick poses ( my quick poses are posted in my Flickr account  http://www.flickr.com/photos/under_the_willow_tree/ ) having said that I also  realized that I went from drawing very small poses on the paper ( when I first started drawing nude seven years ago) to drawing my poses so big that they can not fit in the whole paper. I find it difficult to draw small again so I may need a big paper..I wonder why this has happened..
So bellow are 2 drawings from  one hour pose each.

Colour nudes - Oct/2012

Bellow are a few drawings from the last 2 weeks of my drawing group...I have decided to work on my colours this term and hope I am improving...

Estes sao alguns desenhos das 2 ultimas semanas do grupo de desenho...eu decidi praticar no meu uso de cores com o Pastel neste semestre e espero estar melhorando...

I am planning to post a few portraits and some more collage later on in the week and month.
I will start with this one I did looking at myself in the mirror. I find it a bit hard doing my portrait in this way because I have glasses on and was difficult to see the light and shades in some places because I have the glasses on it would be different if I was doing it from my photograph. So here we go...

Eu estou planejando colocar aqui no meu blog alguns retratos e colages que espero fazer na proxima semana e durante o mes.  Vou comecar com esta abaixo que eu fiz me olhando no espelho. Eu achei um pouco dificil porque estava usando oculos e nao conseguia ver direito as sombras e as luzes no meu rosto na area onde o oculos estava. Claro teria sido mais facil se tivesse feito atravez de uma fotografia, mas gostei de tentar esta tequinica.. Aqui vai...

I made this Pastel painting last Monday. The paper has a nice and soft texture like handmade. I forgot the name but I will try and remember and post here later on.

Eu fiz esta pintura com Pastel na segunda passada. O papel tem uma textura macia, tipo feito a mao. Eu nao me lembro o nome do papel agora, mas assim que me lembrar colocatrei o nome aqui.
