Portrait... Mauricio Ochmann, mixed media


Mixed media portrait... Mauricio Ochmann
Meow there, Monday!  It's been a while since I've done a portrait... months!  Had to urge to do one after recently watching the Mexican telenovela, Victoria.  This is Mauricio Ochmann, he played Jeronimo Acosta in the telenovela.  He was soooooooooo adorable in Victoria!!!  It's also quite a good telenovela too!  I enjoyed watching it.  =^.^=


I used a mix of art mediums for this portrait... Staedtler graphite pencil (8B), Prang watercolor and Derwent watercolor pencils on a 200 gsm Canson watercolor paper.  And while I do my art stuff I like watching music videos on YouTube.  Alejandro Fernandez's are among my faves!  The one in the pic below is for the song Mi Rechazo. Lovely song!



One of the things I love are behind-the-scenes videos of just about everything... movies, telenovelas, art, everyday objects, etc...  I love seeing how things are made and that things actually had to be made, not magically appear out of nowhere!

Mall Finds... Kitty, cats and pony

Meow there, Monday!  Posting a bunch of feline cuteness I've come across when I go malling. I certainly would love to buy and own everything cute thing I see, but of course, that's just not realistic. So I just snap photos of them!   I'd rather spend my money on art materials...  =^.^=

Love, love, love this Hello Kitty wall!!!

Close up on the kawaii kitty wall!

Smell nice... and look cute while at it!

Couldn't resist buying this absolutely adorable cat cord holder!

Kitty cat pencil cases.

My Little Pony at the toys section.

Meow there, Monday!  Thought I'd try changing how I go about my fashion sketches/illustrations by inking first then rendering it.  =^.^=
