More drawings 

I Have spent around one hour to do them using color pencils for the apples and pastel for the snake head, I find an interesting chance to experiment with different media in these weekly drawing excercises

Watercolor and pastel paint mix 

Based in a sea turtel photography, I tried to get nice colors from tropical water seas

This is a complete view of my Final object in the exposition. I like the effect that I Got with one dark element on the first and the last page, it makes easy to guess the darkness of the argument at the first sight

There is a line on the wall produced by the tables that are put with a small difference of level. I tried to fix it adding some plaster and paint, I got to hide it a little but not completely.

In general I am happy with the result, it looks neat and simple with interesting drawings

These are the four pages that I have presented in my Final Object for the exposition, I have added one more page that does not appears on my sketchbook, to make easier to understand what is the story about, get a clear idea of the argument seeing only a few pages of it. I wanted to do the same than A film’s trailer when you see it you know how the argument is going to be, so I focus on that point to make the same with my short graphic novel. Now it is easy to appreciate the change experienced by the servant from the first to the end.

This is the video a made for the 4 weeks sculpture project, was a hard work take photos during the whole day to have one minute video but after all I´m happy with the result. there arre two sequences toguether because the photos were taken in two different scenaries, Some peoples feet appear in the backgraund, I made this in the colege sharing my space with another students, I wanted to have done it at the open but the weather wasn´t good, rain and snow started to fall. So, me light changes are visible during the sequence, the natural light changed with the weather and also a small movemnt is aprreciated in some shots, but anyways I like the video even some of  the unexected factors like sunshine on the floor make it interesting.

the argument consist in stones representing authentic personalities, characters that are influenced by mass media and mind-patterns that are spreaded by the public opinion (represented by the box), when the stones start to get close and imitate the movements of the box, turn in to cubic forms that are similar to the box, until become in the metal pieces that are cold and artificial.

At the end the box gets them in , like if they were just feed to enforce the same sistem that has created them

I have wanted to represent the transformation of people and society by the influence andd manipulation of information.

Thanks for watching!

I´ve wanted to include these photos of my sculpture project that I did in a early phase whe I included the lights inside. The box symbolizes the information given by media, the global opinion of values and paterns that people tend to follow, usualy that only show a small parto fo reality that are represented by the small holes projecting lights out, this lights seduces to the people masses converting them into smaller versions of what really they are,...

 At the final piece of this projects the lights are not visible due to the strong light that I needed when I recorded it, so I have considered oportune show this previous version here

this time I have chosen a black paper to work with shadows, then I had to start the drawing with clear strokes to make the illuminated parts, is the invers process because I always start doing the shadings and darker areas.

I like the contrast between the clear tones and the black background, the red color kworks weel in the composition creating balance at both sides of the figure

 Itm might have some more cold tones with in the body work and red works well but some blue or violet could creat a nice balance between warm and cold tones

[efrenrierafad-blog]

 This drawing based on a nude model were done with pastels, I.ve been focused on contrast between light and shadows but also I´m trying to make a composition, try to integrate the human figure into a set, making it a parto of a bigger place, that is why I´ve used clear colors in this paint al with similar tones, even the paper that is a clear green creating armony with the yellow tones of paint.

I miss more yellow aro clear tones at the said stand of the model and might have mor shadows at the other side and may be the same kind of contrast around in the scenary. Next time with some more time I will try work more with that contrast.

This is the video I made for my four weeks project in Vis Comm, it was a hard procs as I started to learn how to use this program but once I made I felt encouraget to keep going and learn mre things about it. I ve been working with photso and drawing that I have made on paper and after I treated those drawing using Photoshop. Basically wath I ve done is do a sequence with those images and add effect betwen them in the way they apear moving, rotating, dissolving,.. there are different faces and skulls alternating each other, I wanted to transmit how we experience changes in hour lives that simbolize a death of one part of our personality and then another diferent sight, or face appears from our inner side appreciating life in many different ways within the same time of life. Life death and changes in sinthesis.

[efrenrierafad-blog]

This are thre different steps meanwile I experimented with my skull drawing, I tried to erase on the layer and then fill the erased parts with paint bucket so I got thes efect, also I made the eye´s patch filling with paint bucket a poligonal shape I made previously. Some parts of the original drawing has been corrected with eraser and brushes but it isn´t apreciable

Even for small pieces like this is required time to learn and use the different tolls.

[efrenrierafad-blog]

Another drawing treated with Photoshop, the same face appears covered by different colors, the one that is above has each eye covered by a poliogonal shape in a different color, I want to express how the same thing or event can be seen on a different way 

[efrenrierafad-blog]

This drawing has been altered with photoshop. I made the face with acquarels pencils and started to do efects with the smudge tool and the rays are done with the poligonal lazo tool. For adding colors at anside the rays and the bacground I used the gradient tone tool.

This is still a very experimental phase, so the pieces shown are not very polished.

this is made with acrylics around half and hour and I’m glad wirh the compsition that I,ve got. the two red points at both sides of the model work really well and the contrast of the clear colors on the black catridge crates nice effect aswell.

[efrenrierafad-blog]

I started to sketch the shape of this drawing with my charcoal bar and after that I added acrylic colors with brushes and also with the palette, especially in big areas. I’m glad with the strenght of the colors and the change I’ve got compared with the previous ones

[efrenrierafad-blog]

These live drawing examples are made with acrylicos on colours paper. I was focus in the contras between lights and shadows using oposite colors like yellow and blue and green tones aswell, the one of the blue paper is more succesfull in that aspect but I’m still missing more elements and quality in terms of composition.

This are just quick sketches using pastel and charcoal, made before starting with larger pieces.
