With a Little Help from My Friends

The symposium has created a special synergy. In my case, I have been inspired and motivated to keep learning and trying new ways of doing sketch. But,its not only about the blog and the wonderful works published in the same, but also for the kind comments and even more the fact of having met many of the authors of USK.

I leave these pictures, that beyond the result, they have a meaning by connecting with new friends around the world.

Thanks Ketta and Mario Linhares. It was very special to met you and work together for our workshop. Keta addition made ​​for me one of their already famous sketchbooks, the format is widescreen. We exchanged the book for this drawing.

I had the privilege to travel from Lisbon to Spain with Gabi Campanario!!

I couldn´t believe it! But it was true.

We talked all the way into the night until Montemolín in Extremadura, the hometown of our dear friend, meet her parents was very special. In addition, unexpectedly, I could see with my own eyes one of the first urban sketches of Gabi. Incredible!

At sunrise I opened my window and in front of me was the ninth-century medieval castle. Wow.

Gabi, again, thank you so much for your hospitality, the delicious food and for letting me stay in your home.

On my second day in Spain, I traveled to Sevilla where I meet with Omar Jaramillo and Inma Serrano. Can you believe it?

We walked miles around the city, talked a lot, climbed to the Giralda and drew together.

Inma gave me a special gift, a fantastic brush ink.Thankssss!

This is my first sketch with the brush ink of Inma.

La Giralda.

Last but not least, I had the opportunity to meet two great artists: Lapin and Miguel Herranz (although Miguel and I met in Lisbon)

We talk a lot, its true, like Lapin mentions in her post. But it was spectacular.

Thanks for your time. For the long walks, good conversations and your friendship.
