On a recent post I talked about my attraction/fear about brushes and how Enrique Flores had helped me to go ahead. We met three weeks ago, and from then on I haven't stopped drawing straight with the brush. Here is my first complete sketchbook made walking on the wild side.
This was actually a Canson sketchbook which cover got torn. I made a new one with an old folder, and since it was blue and green I decided to draw just in blue and green. I filled a Niji brush with Parker blue ink and a Tria brush with Parker green and made all the sketches from nature or from TV. I started it saturday, april 19 and finished yesterday. Never drawn this fast.
Maybe for all you brush addicts this is trivial, but I've been always glued to fine liners and this is been for me like bungee jumping. Woah!
I'm so glad that you uploaded the entire sketchbook for us to see - your work looks so cinfident that it is hard to believe that you just started using a brush to sketch.

ReplyDeleteI love this video - such great way to present your sketchbook - very simple and even poignant Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteIts something i have to try, the direct brush.
ReplyDeleteGreat, this and the ones from Madrid.
Hooray for the bold move, Miguel. I never thought i could be drawn to these two colors, but this sketchbook is a delight to flip through. Some of them were particularly striking (i.e. the boy on the beach with the piece of the umbrella!).
ReplyDeleteDon't stop with the brush.
What a great video! I love the effect of the 2-tone sketches.
ReplyDeleteThat´s rather courageous!
ReplyDeleteI still could not make the jump.
great exercise! congratulations
ReplyDelete¡¡¡Duro con la brocha!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoa is right! In these quick sketches, your talent is totally obvious! I can see from page one to the end that your comfort level got better and better cuz your strokes became more and more confident. I wish I could get so good so quickly! I agree with France, don't stop with the brush! :)
