<div style="font: 16.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
More quick sketches, this time with charcoal and white chalk.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Well, in fact I'm not sure if I've used charcoal. I had a little dark bar over here, I think it's something synthetic, no so intense as pastel. Let's call it artificial charcoal. The white chalk is hard pastel, by Faber Castell, at least I'm sure of this.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I love white highlights on grey paper. The effect is so different from watercolor. I'm always changing techniques, even in my illustrations. When I use one, I miss the effect of some other. </div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
These poses are between 2 and 10 minutes.</div>

Más bocetos del natural, esta vez con carboncillo y pastel blanco. </div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
La verdad es que no estoy muy segura de haberlo usado carboncillo. Tenía un trozo de barrita oscura por casa, creo que es una especie de compuesto sintético, aunque menos intenso que el pastel, así que llamémoslo carboncillo sintético. El pastel blanco es duro, de Faber Castell. Lo he sacado del paquete así que al menos estoy segura de eso. </div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Me encanta meter realces blancos sobre fondo gris. El efecto del es totalmente distinto a la acuarela. La verdad es que siempre estoy alternando técnicas, incluso en las ilustraciones. Cuando uso una echo de menos los efectos de otra. </div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
De nuevo las poses son de entre dos y diez minutos.</div>

Sorry for the weird blue shadows around the drawings, as the paper is a little rippled due to the wetness, it doesn't sit flat over the scanner.</div>

After this book I was so in love with Little Red I had to make a picture book about her on my own.<br />
I could make another one. Really. Perhaps I'll do it someday.<br />
<br />
I've submitted the original drawing so you can see how the original work looks like. I receive a lot of answers about polyester sheets. I use it from time to time. It's a kind of plastic sheet treated so you can draw and paint over it. It's pretty cheap. It's translucent too so, in this illustration I applied the gouache on the backside for the red sweater and the white background.<br />

Primera ilustración de la Caperucita que hice para Oxford University Press hace algunos años. Después de este libro estaba tan enamorada de la historia que tuve que hacer un álbum ilustrado por mi cuenta.<br />
Podría hacer otro. Tal vez algún día.<br />
<br />
He subido el dibujo original también para que podáis ver el aspecto que tiene sin retocar. Me pregunan a menudo sobre el polyester. Lo uso de vez en cuando. Las hojas de polyester son un material plástico tratado de modo que se puede dibujar y pintar sobre él. El aspecto es similar al papel vegetal. Es bastante barato y aunque un poco difícil de encontrar. Es traslúcido. En esta ilustración apliqué gouache rojo por la parte posterior para el jersey de la niña y el blanco del fondo.<br />

This image is for a magazine named "Bloc". In this number they've decided to do an alphabet, and they've chosen 28 illustrators, one for each letter. The theme of each one is fixed, so for the A, someone has to do an illustration for Alice in Wonderland, for example. </div>

My letter is U and the theme is a novel titled "The inmortal adventure of Max Urkhaus" by Joan Manuel Gisbert. It's a complicated story about an old man, a detective and three dancing sisters. </div>

Cover for the book by Gustavo Martín Garzo "Carmela y su Duende" (Carmela´s Pixie) published by Oxford University Press, Spain.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

This is one of the works where I´ve added all the color digitally. Lately, I prefer to work the color in the original work, but I used this technique a lot in my first books. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
By the way, the original drawing is pencil on Polyester. I've noticed that's something that causes some confusion. There are polyester sheets prepared for drawing. At first sight, they're very similar to tracing paper. In fact, you can use it like tracing paper if you want. It's a little more expensive but not much. The difference is the way which graphite adheres to it. The polyester's surface is very smooth. Graphite seems darker on it and it slides a lot when you rub it. It reacts strangely to water too. It dissolves graphite almost entirely leaving a white spot. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
You can play with the transparence too. You can see through the polyester sheet, so you can superpose it to other drawings or paint the reverse of the sheet.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
It's a very interesting base for graphite, and you can experiment with other mediums too. I recommend to give it a try. </div>

Cubierta para el libro de Gustavo Martín Garzo "Carmela y su Duende", publicado por Oxford University Press, España.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Es una historia sobre la vida de una mujer encantadora que ama los libros y cómo encontró un duende cuando era una niña.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
En esta ilustración añadí el color digitalmente. Últimamente prefiero dejar los originales lo más terminados posibles, color incluído, pero usaba esta técnica mucho en mis primeros libros.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Por cierto, el dibujo original es grafito sobre polyester. A veces esto causa cierta confusión. El polyester se comercializa también en hojas, aptas para dibujar sobre ellas. Se pueden encontrar en tiendas especializadas en papeles de dibujo, aunque a veces es difícil dar con ellas. A primera vista son muy similares al papel vegetal. Son un poco más caras pero no demasiado. En general son más baratas que el papel de dibujo. La diferencia con el papel vegetal es que la superficie del polyester es mucho más lisa. El grafito parece más intenso sobre el polyester, los tonos oscuros son algo más oscuros y se difumina muy fácilmente. Otra característica es que reacciona de una manera bastante extraña a la humedad. Cuando mojas el dibujo con agua, el grafito prácticamente se disuelve por completo dejando una mancha o línea blanca. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Además se puede jugar con la transparencia del papel. Se puede superponer a otros dibujos o incluso pintar por el otro lado.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Es una base muy interesante para el grafito, pero se puede experimentar con otros medios también. En cualquier caso yo recomendaría probarlo por lo menos una vez.</div>
