Pin-up for Conor

A friend of mine is a massive Barcelona fan and loves Eva Mendes. So for his birthday what better present than a drawing of Eva Mendez wearing the colors of his favorite team? =P

I had to do this drawing in an hour, hence why it isn't one of my best ones, but he loved it and I'm very pleased with that.

She looks close enough to the actress and the proportions are good, although for some reason people kept asking me if it was me... I feel flattered, but she doesn't look anything like me... anyhow, this woman was tons of fun to draw even though I couldn't spend as much time as I could have liked.


The most importat part: he liked the present =)

A Pin-up for Chris

First, allow me to say I'm against the stereotyping of Latina/Spanish women. This is meant to be a woman surrounded by the things I was expecting to find in the birthday party I was going to.
The birthday party was Latino-themed... and since it was a guy, I thought he might enjoy this drawing, specially because since I didn't know him too well I thought at least he would find it nice. He liked it quite a lot, like some other guests as well.
This is based on a pin-up you can find easily in google, but I decided to make her more attractive, add the tequila bottle and make her hair much more fun. I just wanted s "Latino-themed" pin-up, and I think I pretty much got her right.
I'm quite happy with the final result... and she looks so beautiful and menacing. I like it.

A Pin-up for Vidal

So a friend of mine had a birthday a month ago and I didn't finish this until now. I hope he likes it though.
I based it on a picture I found on the Internet, but I changed the sofa's shape and colour, the position of her hand and also her boobs and body complexion. I hop enjoy what might be my last pin-up in a while because I think I'm finished with these girls

A Pin-up for Iago

So a friend of mine had a birthay like two months ago, but I was too busy to finish this until now. I based it on a small picture I found on the internet of a girl that was standing on thin air. I realised that nothing would show in this position, so I removed all clothes to make it more provocative and different.

A Pin-up for Pep

So a friend of mine is returning to Spain and his birthday was before I started making this "drawn gifts" to people. So I wanted to give him something for which he would remember me, and here it is. I didn't know what to draw because I've never talked to him too much, but he was part of our little family. So that's the reason why I did by pencil and not pen: it's easier and faster this way, although I still took my time and hope he enjoyed it because I searched for the right one for him, and this model seemed perfect.

"Marilyn Monroe" for Victor

So again a birthday present for a friend. This time I took two Marilyn Monroe's pictures she had taken for "The Seven Year Itch" and combined them while putting a touch of my own. Both the faces and the upper section of the dress have been modified because I wasn't happy with the originals. Also the middle part of the dress is only "based on" the original photos, while I made the dress come a little higher than in any of the originals. Anyhow, I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed drawing this woman.

A Pin-up for Richi

Yes, today is "Pin-up's day". This friend absolutely needed this drawing for sure. He's kind of a lady's man, you know. So it's kind of an inside joke. I didn't like much this model, but she was the second best I could find. So here it is. I'm pretty happy with the whatever that blue thing might be, and the pillow; the hair is pretty neat too, but I don't like it and neither her face. I'm pretty ok with the legs though.
Anyhow, hopefully I won't be making more of these in a long time because I kind of had it with the pin-ups, though they are nice to draw... sometimes

A Pin-up for Tomás

Yes, I know: this girls seems familiar to another one I drew for a friend (go to A Pin-up for Jorge). It's the same one, actually. A friend of mine saw the drawing of the pin-up I had made for Jorge¡s birthday and asked if I would draw one for him. I said "sure, I'll show you all the pictures I collected and you choose the one you like the most". Well, he chose this model. I told him since it was the same model I wasn't going to do the same drawing twice, but I would keep my word of making the pin-up he had chosen. So I used the same model, but, as you can see, I did some changes in the clothing and her expression and also in the way I drew her, like this time everything was made with pen and no pencil was used. Anyhow, I hope you like it. I'm pretty proud of this one because I think it's an improvement compared to the one I did for Jorge. I guess because this time I allowed myself to go a little wild in some points and I also had more time to do it.

A Pin-up for Jorge

Hey, guys! I did this for a friend on his birthday because I knew he would appreciate her. I told him he had to put her on the wall, though. Making shadows on the skin was hard. Also this was the first time I attended to make a drawing of a person on pen, and that was tough too. the sofa looks too simple, but it's because I run out of time to finish it properly. I'm pretty proud of the face and all the clothes in black she's wearing. You can look the original on the Internet and compare, but I think I like  more the expression I drew on her face that the one the original had.
