Angel illustration wip. This is the flat colors. Next up: shading! Side note: I really like the colors so far. If this wasn’t a remake of an old drawing that I did, I don’t know if I would’ve picked these colors. But I’m really glad that I did because I like how it’s turning out so far. . . . #digitalart #artwips #digitalartwips #angelillustrations #angelartwork #latinxartist #angelartworks #delespi #characterdesigners #delespiart #artbydelespi #purpleillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CcA9JdqLXyI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Line art of my angel illustration. While I’m working on this I’m realizing something. When I started learning how to draw digitaly, I was putting out art on the Internet (mostly on deviantart) because I was showcasing what I was learning and creating. I didn’t feel the pressure to create something, or to make sure that I had a new piece of I work to post every week. I was trying because I genuinely wanted to and because I really was enjoying myself. I think in the last few years I’ve been making art with posting something new or updating my portfolio/job hunting as a priority, and creating because I want to was on the back burner. I wanna get back to that place I was when I was in high school or college; before social media was a thing and before there was pressure on artist to post flawless artwork on a schedule. I want to experiment with style and technique, and I’m starting with this piece. How have you felt with creating and with social media? . . . #artwips #artwipdrawing #digitalartwips #angelillustrations #angelartwork #angelartworks #characterdesigners #latinxartist #hispanicartist #delespi #artbydelespi #delespiart #digitallineart #lineartwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CbsezBxODFT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reposting this wip from 2019. I never finished this artwork and am starting to work on it again. The original artwork was actually from 2007 and was redrawn in 2014, but I wanted to redo it again. Once it’s finished I’ll post all the versions for comparison. . . . #artwips #artwipdrawing #digitalartwips #angelillustrations #angelartwork #angelartworks #characterdesigners #latinxartist #hispanicartist #delespi #artbydelespi #delespiart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbfj2FwLOmc/?utm_medium=tumblr

I remember this art challenge from a few years ago and never participated, so I’m doing it now! Basically, you design a character and then redesign it in the style of 5 other artists. This one is my original design. Took me a while to decide on the other 5 styles I wanna draw (there are so many good ones out there!) but stay tuned to see which ones I picked/attempted. I couldn’t figure out who originally came up with this design, so I made a template in case you wanna try it too. There’s 2 template designs (scroll to the last 2 pics). I miss when art challenges would spread like wildfire across social media, and I feel like it’s been over a year since I saw one trending. Am I right about that, or have I just been out of touch with social media that I missed some? . . . #artstylechallenge #stylechallenge #stylememe #artstylememe #digitalartwork #artchallengememe #ocartwork #characterdesigner #latinxartist #hispaicartist #latinaartist #afrolatinaartist #delespi #artbydelespi #delespiart https://www.instagram.com/p/CbP_ptHrcWx/?utm_medium=tumblr

My oh-so-glamorous look for Valentine’s Day this year. I celebrated with an at home spa day and a rom com marathon. It was a lot of fun 😁 How did you celebrate this year? . . . #outfitofthedayart #outfitartwork #outfitart #ootdart #ootdarts #ootdartwork #ootdartworks #delespi #artbydelespi #delespiart #artistsoninstagram #artistofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca7eYbcLpI0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Been a while huh? After months of tech issues I can finally draw digitally again! I started by drawing my resolutions for this year. Here they are in order: 1- Conqueror Challenge (a virtual walk/race that lets you earn a beautiful medal in the end) 2- Lose enough weight to feel comfy in my body 3- Get my first career/job in an animation studio 4- Learn at least enough American Sign Language to better communicate with my aunt Do you have any resolutions, and do you think you’ll be able to achieve them? . . . #delespi #artbydelespi #delespiart #nyeresolutions2022 #newyearsresolution #newyearsresolutions #digitalart #digitalillustrations #characterdesigners #artisticgoals https://www.instagram.com/p/Cah7vOAOYQc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another comic strip for you! Scroll to read the rest! Another dilemma artists often face, and nowadays I’m sure anyone trying to create a post for social media goes through the same thing . . . #comicart #comicstrips #funnyartwork #delespi #artbydelespi #delespiart #digitalart #digitalartwork #latinaartst #dominicanartists #latinxartist #hispanicartists #characterdesigner #propdesigners https://www.instagram.com/delespi/p/CYZuHb2LQcj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Scroll through the pics to read the rest! I wanted to start creating and posting funny little comic strips for a while now, and I’m finally getting around to it! Im starting off by redrawing some old favorites of mine. This is about what a lot of artists go through when trying to draw something new. It’s not always easy knowing where to start lol . . . #comicstrips #comicstripsart #comicartworks #funnyart #artblock #artblocksucks #digitalartworks #characterdesigner #conceptartist #latinxartist #hispanicartist #delespi #delespiart #artbydelespi #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CW57vxZrJX3/?utm_medium=tumblr

All 4 ladies for this year’s witchtober/inktober. Meant to post it last week but I completely forgot lol. They’re all a human/animal hybrid, and I’m sure you can tell what animal each is mixed with. Which one is your favorite? . . . #witchtober #witchtober2021 #inktober2021 #inktober #inkartworks #markerartworks #copicart #lepenart #grayscaleartwork #latinartist #latinxartist #hispanicartists #delespi #delespiart #artbydelespi #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CWqk2zCrqfn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Design 4 of 4 for witchtober/inktober! This witch is half human and half owl. Her name is Odessa Olsen. Owls can be a little creepy looking, but they’re also so adorable! How do you feel about them? Creepy or cute? . . . #witchtober #witchtober2021 #inktober2021 #inktober #owls #inkartworks #copicmarkers #copicartwork #lepen #lepeninks #blackandwhiteartwork #delespi #artbydelespi #delespiart https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWGos9rBuc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Design 3 of 4 of my human/animal witch hybrids for witchtober/inktober. Her name is Beatrix Renaud, and she’s a human/bat hybrid. Side note: did you know that vampire bats only grow up to a size of 3 inches? I always assumed that vampire bats were huge for some reason. Am I the only one? . . . #witchtober #witchtober2021 #inktober #inktober2021 #copicmarkers #copicmarkersart #copicart #lepen #lepeninks #markerarts #delespi #delespiart #artbydelespi #artistsoninstagram #artistofinstagram #latinxsartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CV3Jd8vrwya/?utm_medium=tumblr

Design 2 of 4 of animal/human hybrids for witchtober! Her name is Katrina Campbell, and she’s part cat! Saw a tutorial recently by @loisvb on inking and her tips and techniques really helped. Gonna use them for the last two! . . . #witchtober2021 #witchtober #witchtoberartchallenge #inktober #inktober2021 #inktoberartwork #delespi #inkartwork #artbydelespi #copicmarkers #lepen #delespiart #instagramartists #hispanicartist #latinxartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CVS89ltLTlL/?utm_medium=tumblr

The first of 4 witchtober/inktober designs. Each witch is a human/ animal hybrid. This one is mixed with a snake, and I named her Saoirse Gallagher. Couldn’t resist giving her medusa like hair . . . #witchtober #witchtober2021 #inktober #inktober2021 #inktoberdrawing #witchtoberchallenge #inkartworks #inkartdrawing #inkillustrationart #delespi #delespiart #artbydelespi #latinxartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CVQN7fCLNxS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Latinx heritage month is sadly almost over, but we celebrate all year long in my household lol. I posted this artwork last year but I tweaked it and made small edits to it, so it’s getting reposted!

As promised, here’s a collage of all the different self portraits I’ve drawn over the years! The ones on the second pic are older than the ones on the first. Which drawing from each collage do you think is most like me? I’m curious 🧐 . . . #myfaceartwork #delespi #artbydelespi #selfportraits #delespiart #selfportraitcollages #artistsoninstagram #artistofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CU76ardrVL7/?utm_medium=tumblr

The evolution of the meet the artist meme! I’ve drawn myself differently every time. I’m thinking of putting together a collage so you can see how many different versions there are.
