guess i asked you already once, but i forgot:

how do you do such neat outlines? can you do them straight with your hands? or do you use path tools?

I did it with hand, but using wacom tablet, I just make sure the brush is round and sharpen 100% opacity and no airbrush effect. But the rest is purely hand drawing.

Nice to hear from you again

very cool, want to learn how to draw pretty lines too !

can i bring this one albertoguerra.deviantart.com/a… to class?
we need to bring a picture to class, the subject ist "objectivity" and why we believe what we see, why we believe to see something that is picturing the reality.
we will discuss this subject with the pictures each person will bring.

thought your pretty shrimps are a good example for that, because they seem to be unreal cause of their colours and shapes, but still we believe that the drawing equates to the reality.

Oye tu trabajo está de lujo! te comento que mi madre se dedica a la ecología marina pero al otro extremo del SISAL (en Ensenada, Baja California) y estoy seguro que estaría interesada en tu trabajo al grado de -por qué no- comisionarte algunos diseños similares. Si no tienes inconveniente le voy a mostrar estos diseños para ver qué opina.

Saludos!
