Qibao, Shanghai

The river quarter at the city, reachable by Metro

Two quick portraits ...

... from the last meeting I attended in Malaga of USk Spain. Sorry, guys! :D:D:D

Gee, how I love Belgium chocolate!

A doodle in my notebook, trying a few TRIA markers

Benjen Stark

Yet another Stark from the Night Watch, good uncle Benjen. From the HBO show A Game of Thrones, based on G.R.Martin novels

Sandor "The Hound" Clegane

On with the cast of HBO A Game of Thrones, by G.R. Martin

Hangzhou

Time to post some watercolor from my latest trip!
This is Hangzhou, apparently one of China fav spots for the locals. I don't really get it, it's simply a huge park around a lake. There are interesting spots and nice places and you can rent a bike at the Youth Hostel to move around, but I've seen much better places in China. In any case, nice for an easy day around

If you ever tell anyone ...

"There’s a pretty for you. Take a good long stare. You know you want to. I’ve watched you turning away all the way down the kingsroad. Piss on that. Take your look."

And ... here's my contribution to Redcandle17's contest on Sandor and Sansa's HBO missing scene during the Hand Tournament ([link]) I decided to be all traditional for once and not only did I draw the exact scene in the book, but even stuck to the series cast (more or less)

If you want to check on the different stages of the drawing, I put it all in a step by step WIP for you [link]

Ser Allisair Thorne

One of the guys in my Arya's deathwish To Do list (and not a Frey, for once :D)

Control

Avatar, the last Airbender. Princess Azula post-series

Shanghai (I): The long road to China

Easter at the beach

Close to home, in Granada coast

Urko

Still trying live speed painting, but it's taking life out of me :P

Unlike the Saints, a 6 month German Shepherd is hell to draw: he won't stop moving for a single second. Some sketches turned out horrible, but I managed to catch him in two or three

Blood and roses

Another A Song of Fire and Ice sketch for a contest by redcandle17 at Deviant Art. This one is for mother's day (I like to think out of the box). If you don't want spoilers (even though this is my guess) don't read any further ...

"Promise me, Ned"

Of course, I think that Jon is not Ned's son, but Rhaegar's and Lyanna's, and hence one of the dragon's heads (there must be three, Dani, Jon and ... this is another story :D). I'm guessing that Lyanna died of blood loss giving birth and she asked Ned to hide her son (he would have been exterminated, like the rest of the Targaryens) and protect her secret- I think this is the only way Ned would have carried a so-called bastard home, despite his views on honor. I sketched Ned as a younger Sean Bean (HBO A Game of Thrones is already on air) and tried to use a Rackham style for coloring (totally digital, this time)

Pablito

This is my youngest (and super-cute) nephew, probably wondering when it's lunch-time, as usual :D

Wroclaw city center

Ser Gregor Clegane

This guy is huge! And really creepy, if you have read the books. Another shot at the HBO cast for ASoFaI

Los baños del Carmen

A nice spot by the beach in Malaga. It's usually pretty crowded in summer afternoon, but I did this at 10 am, so it was all for me :)

Travel sketchbooks: a UsK workshop free on the web

As many of you may be aware of, I'm pretty fond of travel sketchbooks, so I've been organizing a workshop with several members of Urban Sketchers in Malaga. It is starting tomorrow and the program is here. We'll be working from 16:00 to 20:00 GMT+1. UNIA has kindly offered to provide video streaming for anyone interested in joining us: http://aconnect.unia.es/cuadernos2011/ You just need a plugin to get in.


The bad news: it will be in spanish, but we'll keep the camera on whatever the teacher is drawing, so you can still follow it if you don't speak spanish at all. Plus there will be an open chat for questions (see left of the screen). The good news: it is for free. You only need to log in and you are there :) If you join us and want to collaborate, you can upload your own sketches during the event. I'll keep you informed here.

Looking forwards to meeting you online this week!

Melito

One of my sister's doggies. He's a treat to draw, because he won't move for hours ... :D

Theon Greyjoy

Another of the guys we love to hate. HBO casting rulz!
