This means fresh meat on a daily bases. At the moment it looks like this will be the overcome-yourself-blog and as I said in the first post, of course the dilettante's blog.

Boys. 2007-03-28 02:28:00 This touches my heart, particularly at the moment. I will do more of them, I'm searching for a way to represent this kind of scene in a suitable way. I'll surely work on improoving my tecnical skills to obtain higher liberty at the time of drawing. I also plan to colour this kind of drawing with watercolors, so stay tuned....
Girl 2. 2007-03-26 01:41:00 Well this cost me a little more time. Actually I can do things like that but I'm just very slowly and need a lot of time. I like to draw male and and female this way, but I'm asking myself if this is the real thing. It's nice, but it's kind of superficial, isn't it? I don't now if this type of drawing really shows what the girl is all about. She is sexy, for sure, but there could be shown more about her. But there is somthing I especially like about this drawing. During the process I was thinking constantly in icons of Pop-Art and in 1950 pin up girls. I belive I understood how they are made, I mean, I knew it before, but right now I think I really got it claer. I appears to me that they are mostly made by highlighting the most important contrasts as well as some lines to point out the concept of what is "the beautiful girl", the rest of it makes our brain....
Girl. 2007-03-24 02:27:00 Well, well, well... I will write some very intelligent stuff, but tomorrow. It's friday, it's late...
Creature. 2007-03-23 00:53:00 At the moment it seems like I couldn't compete whit the creator. My creatures end up like the results of Dr. Frankenstein. The intention isn't just bad, but they aren't really made to compete with the real thing. I think This blog could be interesting for someone who likes to see someone develope his skills. I hope drawings 900-1000 will be fucking good but I'm sure that meanwhile there will be some nice one's as well.... Read more:Creature
Exercise. Not yet finished. 2007-03-22 19:07:00 Hi, more human anatomy. I'm drawing Michelangelos slave. It's not finished yet, but I'd like to post it anyways.... Read more:Exercise
Exercise (Hulk). 2007-03-22 01:49:00 I like the human anatomy. Among other things, I really like male arms . As this kind of exercise is so much fun, I think I am going to do more of this stuff. I would love to achieve a high level of control over it.... Read more:Exercise
Astonishing discovery. 2007-03-16 02:35:00 As the title sais, I have made a astonishing discovery today. But first I want to tell you that in the beginning I planned to post at least twice a week some drawings I'm making for my course of studies. Then I decided not to do it, because these are somehow already existing works. In other words you are getting fresh meat... But back to the discovery : I asserted that, if I'm drafting somthing like what you see below I'm actually learning a lot. Maybe not tecnically, but about the "scene" itself. In ohter words, by mapping that fast, I certainly commit a lot of mistakes, but as I'm not aiming to create a masterpiece it doesen't hurt me and I can always correct or redo it. In the end I obtain more knowledge about the object I'm investigating, then I do somtimes in a lot more time. In the future, when I plan "serious" works I will allways do this step first. Something else, don't you like this kind of candid and expresive stuff?
"Draw me a lamb" - Spanish fine arts elite... 2007-03-16 02:20:00 Ok then,let's attack! For my beloved anonimous friend of children drawings, here some piece of art of the highest level ever seen! This is a napkin my class colleagues have made during a diner we had today. "Draw me a lamb - Dibujame un cordero", said the little prince. Here are the results. Are you afraid of putting the future of spanish art in these hands? And if you do so, what do you plan to do?... Read more:Spanish
Publicity. 2007-03-15 00:13:00 You might have seen the Samuel Beckett drawing, I have made some prints today that, of course, are related to the drawing. So if you want to have a look at them, go to my other blog. Here's the printig plate, which is the most suitable part to post in this blog.Todays drawing, I dont know what to say... Just give me some time and I will produce something. I have been pretty busy with that printing stuff. Sometimes I think I must have had a moment of fatal mental derangement when I started this project - as if I woulden't have a life besides blogging on daily drawing. Hope I'm getting very, very famous with that lunacy ;-)
"My shadow" 2007-03-14 01:33:00 He is haunting me...At the beginning I wanted to do something else - I was sitting on the flor, my head above the paper, drawing imaginary lines in the air, to get an idea of what exactly I intented to do, when at once I saw my shadow on the paper. It appeared to me like an icon, I like that and I'm obsessed by shadows....
Something more academic. 2007-03-13 01:40:00 My anonimous friend who made a comment about the drawing I posted in "dan to kabrablue" for certain thinks this is a better work than the one he was commenting. Well it isn't. But I'm learning a lot, so I can bear up against that. I'll try to do more of this kind of stuff, unless it's more boring to look at and errors are seen easily.See what Kabrablue posted the next day!
Saint Jean II. 2007-03-11 17:37:00 I was thinking about Jean Cocteau. What I really like about him, is that he worked in almost every sector of artistic production - always consindering himself a poet. As well when he was named a member of the Academie Française, in his speech he said he is recieving this honor as a poet. Of current importance for me are his drawings, mostly made quite fast, showing a drawing style wich expresses a lot of liberty. This means for me, I will try to draw faster and freer, particularly when I'm doing 'academic' stuff. Read more:Saint
Bouquet of flowers. 2007-03-11 01:24:00 Let's make a deal. You'll get a bouquet of flowers and I'm getting a good night of sleep, ok? Thanks for that... Read more:Bouquet
The reason - El porqué 2007-03-11 00:18:00 Ok, this is the one I had to replace by the drawing of Samuel Beckett, due to camera problems. As by now, I've got a real one, there aren't no more excuses. So here it is, "El Porque". It's quite important to me from a personal point of view - The light at the end of the tunnel... Read more:porqu
A lot of shit... 2007-03-10 04:10:00 I tried to do something, something didn't work, that means you have to content yourself with a substitute of something. But something will come, for sure...Last night might be called a desaster, a least in terms of "mil veces" - but as I said, shipwrecking included. Aparently I'm not blushless enough to post the real disasters, I don't know if it is god or bad. I changed the substitute for an other one. I made whit carbon before reading somthing about Mondrian.
Saint Jean. 2007-03-10 02:14:00 This weekwend I'm in Jávea, Spain in the house of some friends. They got quite a lot of Jaen Cocteau lithos as well as some originals! As this is a drawing blog I thoght it might be appropriate to post something of Saint
Jean. Here is the first one, tomorrow the rest of it. (Need dayligt to mug it.)...By the way, thanks to R&R for all time support.
dan. to kabrablue 2007-03-09 19:08:00 Hey kabrablue, this is for you. You could like it. It's not from today, I made it in september 2006, or better the worst day of september. Five against one...but no more babble, just, well I call this type of drawing wanking or smirging on paper. O pa ti kabrablue, en español lo llamo pringar o salpicar el papel....
Part two. 2007-03-09 03:39:00 Here it is. Seems to me like I will have to write more on weekend's. I simply can't find the time to write at the moment. In general it seems more important to me to post a pic a day than to write a lot of intelligent stuff. But I'll do that as well. Maybe you noticed, that I'm revising and "fixing" the text during the day, sometimes completing or amplifying it. I'll try not to write too stupid stuff, allthough I have to admit that until now I havent published neither a poem nor teoretical works of high quality....
Process. 2007-03-08 01:25:00 This for today, tomorrow I'll finish the second one. It's quite sexy drawing it...... Read more:Process
One more 2007-03-07 02:53:00 Hell, doesn't seem to be possible to get a little more organized. But come what may, I will post a drawing a day, as I said. I'm planning to use this blog as well as some kind of grafical diary, where I'll write about my considerations and conclusions concerning what I lern and think about drawing. So itt will be more than just a posted pic a day. For those really interested in the matter this could be kind of an interesting aspect. You all will have to excuse me, that in the first place I'll often commit some stupid ortografical mistakes. I simply prefer to shoot things up to the page and fix them later, than not doing it at all.
Lines 2007-03-06 02:05:00 Ok, todays drawing, I'm on track. Still bad cam. It's fucking late and I'm tiered, so I'll write something tomorrow...Seems like, step by step you'll have quite a detailed idea of my apartment. It' actually really important to me to make studys of theese kind of stuff... Read more:Lines
Camera trouble. 2007-03-05 00:03:00 Ok, I can't post todays drawing. It's simply not posible to get a pic of satisfying quality with my mobilphone's cam. I'll have to organize myself a real one. For today, and as an alternative somthing I made some time ago. A portrait of Samuel Beckett. I have captured it with the same cam but for some reason the bad quality is not that obvious.I'll try to resolve the problem as soon as possible and I surely will make some new fotos of all drawings.Well at least, and besides all the mentioned and unmentioned circumstances, I havent got off track by now. Would have been a little disappointing. Ok then, until tomorrow... Read more:Camera
First post, concept... 2007-03-03 22:51:00 This blog will serve me to publish a drawing a day. This is the move-your-ass blog, as well as the dilettante blog. I want to show it all, at least respective my drawings. It should be somthing like a work in progres project. A documentation of all the stuff, not just the good one - shipwrecking included. I try to write in english, it's the language most of you understand and this way I have to practice a little. Hope to find someone who revises the written content. First
pic: bad quality. Sorry made it with my mobile phone.
My new toy. 2007-04-23 16:51:00 Well, well, well, look at this, my a little bit customized template. I got a new toy, it's quite funny! The only thing I have to do now is to post drawings and trying to finish my course without any accidents...
Some testing. 2007-04-23 04:03:00 Well, that's not how it should be. Most of my new header is quite wrong. I will have to remove the frame and so on. I will soon change it...Looks a little better now, but I will have to create a new header, size and so on aren't correct.
Fixing stuff. 2007-04-29 00:09:00 For those who subscribed to my RSS/Atom-feeds with FeedBurner, maybe you have to subscribe again. I had to fix some stupid spelling errors in the feed-url and I think under the old address you won't receive nothing more. Please excuse me and check that out. Furthermore were my FeedBurner feeds all mixed up, this should be resolved by now.End Post Read more:stuff
Colors and lines. 2007-04-28 23:59:00 Well I let it speek for itself...End Post Read more:Colors
Newsletter. 2007-04-28 14:25:00 From now on my site content is also available as a newsletter. Just fill in your email address below the feed icons and check the "Get email updates" button.End Post
Page Rank. 2007-04-28 03:40:00 Ha, ha-ha! I got a PageRank, isn't that great? You really have to excuse my euphoria, but as I already said, I'm playing around here. Well, I came home and felt the need to look after my baby, which actually needs a lot of care and...guess what, yes I'm rated, I finally got the proof of my existence. Never again talking to my mirror again! No more looking at shop windows in search of my reflection. Isn't that great?! Well if you want to stare at my new PageRank button, similar as I stared at my Google Toolbar when I came home (I couldn't believe it, thought the thing has frozen or something) do so, it's next to the Blogger button. Enjoy ;-)End Post Read more:Page Rank
