Colored Ratzinger with iPad and my traditional digital tools....

I've colored in different ways my Ratziger sketches presented in my last post. The idea of use these sketches and color them with iPad and my desktop tools (Photoshop and my Wacom Intuos 4) was auto presented for me as a little challenge...By other part I couldn't wait for trying the new Procreate App version for iPad, the 1.7 version with amazing new features like improved 2D transforms like distort and the capability of importing new custom brushes. Sincerely, Procreate is a really powerful App for professional digital artists. Once again, I can tell you it's a highly recommended App for iPad:Procreate.

I decided to color the second sketch with 

Ipad and Procreate v1.7:

Colored version with iPad and Procreate.

And then I colored the third sketch with 

Photoshop and my Wacom digital tablet:

Colored version with Photoshop and Wacom intuos 4.

Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger sketches...

 Here you are some sketches of Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger.

We are near Christmas and I thought which better one to caricaturize than Ratzinger, for a Christian like me.

 

 A first one:

A second one:

And the third one:

Still thinking about which of these to color .

What's your opinion?.

Thanks for watching it.

"Liberado sindical" in Telemadrid...With iPad.

This is a chief labor union of the public TV of the region of Madrid. They don't need to work for earn money. They only lead the fight against the conservative governments and they don't go to work (in some cases) for the last 20 years.

They are on strike...Ho ho ho!...This is one of the "structural reforms" we need to change in Spain: the structural parasitic labor union we've got in every public company.

The illustration was painted with iPad and Procreate v1.7...The v 1.7 version includes a huge set of new features to enjoy with the same speed for working with it and a better interface for some basic operations as 2D transforms. I encourage you for buying this App for iPad.

Thanks.

Robert Pattinson !

Hello!.

This time you can watch this young actor called Robert, Robert Pattinson.

Is the main character of the series called Twilight .

Can you believe me if I tell you I still haven't watched any of the films about vampires and werewolves in which he has taken part??. Hahahahaa...It's true.

Don't you know who's Robert Pattinson at this point?, click on the next link:
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xOSoONDpY4

I suppose that the secret for such a huge success is the romantic point of view of a history about vampires and other creatures of the dark and some young and handsome actors who mean the best excuse for a legion of girls to attend to the cinema... :P .

Anyway, enjoy it!.

Best regards.

A pear with iPad and Procreate!

This is a fast paint made with iPad, meanwhile I was watching TV on my sofa. Made with Procreate, as always.

Was really easy and fun to paint.

Thanks for watching it!.

John Candy

This is John Candy...A funny actor from the 80's.

Enjoy it!.

A tribute to Pedro Schwartz

Schwartz is a dynamic activist for the conservative libertarian ideas and was jailed by Franco for his fight defending the freedom of the Spanish people.

He has teached some of the best spanish  libertarian economists as Francisco Cabrillo Rodríguez, Carlos Rodríguez Braun and Jesús Huerta de Soto.

He's an intelligent and calm person and have written some books just like what you can check at his personal website:

http://www.pedroschwartz.com/dynamicpage.asp?pid=12&id=160

Here's one of his most practical and funny books, 2 years ago and still is perfectly valid...Good knowledgement is what we need in Spain for "Our Great Scape" from our particular crisis.

"La economía explicada a Zapatero y a sus sucesores".

And was presented in an interview here:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtC2evQmL-U

Best regards.

Artur Mas heading for his secret accounts in Lietchestein...

Hi!. This is Artur Mas but he could perfectly been autorenamed as Arthur Mas (The Little) King, with his (little) Excalibur and his (little) (donkey) steed towards (Camelot) Lietchestein...

He's a separatist and anti-Spanish leader, who has driven Cataluña to the bankrupcy: its debt with the rest of spaniards is about 20000 million Euro meanwhile he has "earned" the incredible amount of 7 million Euro only "working for the people" as president of Cataluña: this is what the nationalisms are used for, with the excuse of the superiority of one people over the rest, the leaders become richer and richer among and enveloped of nationalist flags and anthems...but his fortune is safe in Lietchestein with several secret accounts.He has mounted ambassies all around the world and the latest: "Cataluña was a reign...". Maybe he wants to be the king, "The Little Arthur King"...OF THE RUIN HE HAS LEFT!.

He has lost the latest elections in Cataluña due to his secret accounts in Lietchestein and the cuts in social services as hospitals except independent and separatist projects.

He's the best example of what the nationalism means: RUIN AND HATE for his people against the rest, but fortune and treasures for these little leaders...

You can watch it at this well known website:

Enjoy it.

A landscape in Autumn...With iPad and Procreate.

iPad & Procreate are an incredible gadget & Soft for those who love painting digitally. I've painted this watching in TV "The Bridges of Madison County" and other moments after having dinner, for instance in my sofa or in my bed.

I've painted this without no reference, once again, from my memory, visions of the past and other remembers...

It was really funny to paint. Procreate  has no lag, super exact trace despite whether you are using your finger or a stylus... 

I've tried to extract all the spectrum of colors of this season, for many of us, a bit sad due to the reduction of the hours of the day.

Enjoy it!.

Nutty Professor by Jerry Lewis!

Hi folks!.

The Obama's crushing of the elections day....

This is the construction or better said "destruction" version of what happenned the 8th of Novermber in the elections day, in the USA.

Obama won...Why?...Because he tried?...Because he's a little bit black?...Because he jokes better than other republican candidate?...Let's see how he fights against the debt he has created by himself.

Published in a Spanish national digital newspaper:

http://www.periodistadigital.com/mundo/eeuu/2012/11/08/obama-civilizacion-rafael-bardaji.shtml

Good luck Obama, good luck.

Best regards.

A Mitt Romney tribute

Hi folks!.

I wanted to paint this tribute to Mitt Romney, a good candidate for the presidence of the USA, or at least, much better than Obama.

Maybe if the Republican Party presents Condoleezza Rice the american people vote her with more illusion than did with Obama: woman and black, the perfect combination that need the american people?...I don't think so, but this was the excuse argued by the progressist media during all the campaign.

It's a bit disappointing but we've got to accept the result and pray for a TOTAL change in the economic policies of Obama.

Bye Romney.

Thanks for watching it.

Still life ...With iPad.

Hi!.

This is another one I've painted with iPad and Procreate. A still life ...FROM MY MEMORY. Withuot no real models: only from my memory. It was painted (as others before) meanwhile I was flying, inside a train and inside a bus.

I've painted so many fruits that I can paint them in any position, with any variation..From my mind and  just like I prefer and I want to.

As always, it was really funny.

I hope you like it.

A new Landscape...With iPad.

This was a landscape made with iPad. I was sitting on my sofa and left my imagination fly...With the final result.

It was funny. Procreate is a great App for iPad.

Thanks for watching it.

Joe Biden caricature

And this is the time for Joe Biden.

It's expected to the sinking in the mud pond of the democrat party because of the terrible macro numbers in terms of economy.

It's strange that they still believe they will achieve again the government...This is more faith and no other thing.

Kind regards.

Paul Ryan caricature!

Here goes my favourite candidate for the Republican Party. I've made many sketches and finally decided this was the most funny to paint.

I think Republicans will win these elections...Or at least this is what I hope.

It's unthinkable 4  more years of Obama. But I would beg Romney and Ryan to attack the debt: the USA can't support its debt, around $15.3 trillion ...Democrats always cut from the defense part of the total budget, which only means weakness and less supremacy per year.

So, here's the caricature "Step By Step", simply: Paul Ryan!.


I hope you like it. 

Best regards.

Pitbull

Hi there. Here you are my last artwork: Pitbull illustration.

He comes from Puerto Rico and has become really famous. But, what am I trying to tell you which you don't know at this point of him?. :)

I've never seen a videoclip with more than 340000000 visits before I watch this one of Pitbull (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SmM0653YvXU). Incredible!.

Now I'm watching this video, I think can't wait to caricaturize Marc Anthony.

Regards and, thanks for watching this.

Expendable Sly caricature...

Hi my friends!. Here arrives my last caricature. This is Stallone with Van Damme and Chuck , Chuck Norris

Due to some personal reasons I've published this one, a relative old one.

I hope you like this caricature / illustration.

Thanks for watching it.

Best regards.

Clint Eastwood image...

My last image or caricature...Clint Eastwood or "Dirty Harry".

As always Harry say:"Go Ahead, Make My Day"...But this time to the president Obama.

I'm happy because of his disagree with Obama's policies. He has realised about the disaster which has meant Obama for the USA. 

Clint is my idol. Clint hasn't got any film which deserves to go to the garbage. One of the most complete filmography as an actor and as director. He's one of the best!.

The illustration as a "non finished style" and is something I was desiring to do: A picture of Clint Eastwood.

Some people say I look like Clint...Hahaha...Maybe I have to take an auto-photo and you could compare and judge by sourself...Hahahaha.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this picture of Clint Eastwood.

Best regards.

Audrey caricature ... With iPad

Hello!.

Again I've used iPad and Procreate to paint Audrey, you can make any illustration and fine art without no problem.

Procreate is a great program, believe me. I love it!.

This illustration was painted flying in a plane, travelling in a Bus, and finally in a mid. distance train from Seville to El Puerto De Santa María.

Breakfast at Tiffany's inspired me for this caricature/illustration.

 I hope you like this, my caricature. 

Regards.

Bolonia's beach landscape at Cadiz, Spain!

Hello again.

Here you are my new illustration, in this case a landscape.

Last saturday the 18th of August of this year, I past a whole day at the beach, Bolonia's beach in Cádiz, Spain.
A virgin beach with a high dune of sand where we could see many people climbing it searching ...Something like an alien assimilation??. Hahahahaha...All people walked to there and what did we find?...Another dune and another one more!!...Hahahaha, what a disappointment!. 

Cold and really transparent water for these waters of the Atlantic ocean...I recommend this beach if you are in the Cádiz province of Spain.

The landscapes you can see there are awesome. It's for painting beautiful illustrations.

See you soon...Very soon...Here!.

Francoise Hollande caricature...With iPad!!

Well, this is the moment for the new president of France. A socialist who knows he can do all what he wants in economy without and consequence (apparently), like elevate the taxes and investing big amounts of money from the national budget in improductive and innefficient public companie.

But I wanted to express my total satisfaction with my new iPad 3, as a gift from my engaged.

This caricature was painted COMPLETELY with the new iPad and its application named Procreate. With this App from the company Si you can paint with your fingers or any other tool like any capacitive stylus with NO LAG and with some amazing dynamic properties like the opacity directly incrementative as a function of the speedof your drawing.

At first time I though that I need a stylus, a very pointed stylus...But when I was flying towards Seville, Spain to meet with my engaged I decided to start Francoise Hollande, in the Boeing B-737 800 series and I discovered I can paint with total precision , no lag in an amazing way I never watched before in a tablet.

Can you believe me if I told you that I never missed my Photoshop CS5 and my Wacom Intuos 4 Medium tablet?.

I painted this with my fingers in 1h of flying, 2hs waiting from my medium distance train from Seville to El Puerto De Santa Maria in the Santa Justa train station and 1 more hour travelling to El Puerto De Santa Maria: 4 hrs of painting with my fingers with this wonderful App in this wonderful gadget, THE NEW iPad of 2012.

Woody Allen illustration!

Hi there!. This is the new Woody Allen illustration. I haven't watched many films of this recognized director but I only laugh with a scene in which Woody (as an actor) tried to make a robbery or go out of the jail with a soap gun and suddenly a lot of water started to fall from the ceiling and he was frozen with a soap in his hand...HAHahahaha...Hilarious scene from my remembers when I was a child and watched this scene!.

If someone remembers the title of the film, please, let me know.

Enjoy this caricature / illustration

Bye and have fun in this summer!...

Christine Lagarde painted with ipad!

Here is Christine Lagarde. Will she avoid the bankruptcy of Spain and the end of the Euro?.

The fact is that the economy in Spain has been destroyed since an illuminated called Mr. Zapatero decided to tell tales and jokes and put no limits to the budget of each region inside Spain: the Comunidades Autonomas, something like a mini-State. The independentists are becoming stronger against the Spanish Nation and the crisis is not only in terms of economics, it's institutional, moral, social, political...There's no country which could support more than 4 years a president like Zapatero (Obama!).

The former president, Mr. Zapatero, leave us with an official 25% of unemployment and a non declarated 30%. 3 Trillion of Euro of national debt and a real inflation of 20%, declared official of 3%.

The actual president has no "cojones" to do what he has to do and eliminate any sign of nacionalism even with the depression which Spain is living.

This painting was created with Procreate for iPad 3rd generation.

Kind regards.

Evangelos Venizelos!

Hey!. Have you realised how many posts has he held?

• Deputy Minister to the Presidency, and government spokesman, 13 October 1993 to 8 July 1994
• Minister for the Press and the Media, and government spokesman, 8 July 1994 to 15 September 1995
• Minister for Transport and Communications, 15 September 1995 to 22 January 1996
• Minister for Justice, 22 January to 5 September 1996
• Minister for Culture, 25 September 1996 to 19 February 1999
• Minister for Development, 19 January 1999 to 13 April 2000
• Minister for Culture, 21 November 2000 to 10 March 2004
• Minister for Finance, 17 June 2011 to 21 March 2012
• Deputy Prime Minister, 17 June 2011 to 21 March 2012

Incredible!. Only a socialist could be capable of this!. But the fact is that Greece has fallen into the deep of the depression and the mentality of its citizens is still the same,like if them deserve to live better than other citizens in other countries, even sunk.

Bashar Al-Assad

Hi!. This is Bashar Al-Assad. His massacre against the syrian people rises to a hundred per day for the last year...Incredible!.

His particular massacre started around the same date as the former Lybian regime did but there's a significative difference: Lybia has oil and Syria hasn't.

With the G.W.Bush administration it didn't matter because this administration didn't stole a liter of the Iraqui oil but with the Obama administration it's significatively different: Obama supported an attack and change of regime in Lybia but didn't do the same with Syria, when the massacre is being much more important than the few citizens killed by Gadafi.

Obama's style has allowed Bashar kill thousands of his own citizens because he thinks that the ONU "influence" will do the job.

No Obama no...Why don't you copy G.W.Bush style and clean the zone or better said: Why don't you continue the cleaning of the zone?. G.W.Bush did the most difficult so you should only continue something that started 8 years ago.

Thanks for watching it!.

Best regards.

Another Landscape: Fuerteciudad!

Hi!. This is an experiment made with ArtRage for my new landscape.

I've always desired to use the Oil Bristle brushes of Photoshop but its high computational load for my graphics card and my CPU made it impossible to do it.

I don't know how but ArtRage can manage these effects without not much effort.

This landscape is based on the Fuerteciudad zone here in Spain, near Sherry Port, in the province of Cádiz, Spain.

I recommend you to visit this province at the south of Spain.

Dedicated to my girlfriend, Pilar. ;).

Best regards.

Abraham Lincoln!

Hi there!. This is my last caricature/sketch.

I always wanted to paint one of my favourite Presidents of the USA: Abraham Lincoln!.

I love these kind of sketches - pseudo illustrations. It's hard to stop painting it.

He was a wise and quiet man who was dramatically killed  when he was only 56.

His legacy among many other things as the finish of the slavery are these 10 sentences. Please read them  because they deserve a minute:

“Don’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.”

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.”

“My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.”   

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”

“This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.”

“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.”

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”

“Whatever you are, be a good one.”

Did you like it?... :-)

 

CONGRATULATIONS MR. CAMPS!!

Hey!. I've read my regional president has been declared NO GUILTY. A great person and better politician who has been seized by the left wing of the politics in Spain.

It's the best case in which the justice doesn't work as it should do.

He was accused of accepting 3 suites and left parties wanted him to take to the jail. It's surprising due to the leftist politicians in Spain are accused of steal packs of hundreds of million € each one of them and justice doesn't do anything against them: "Campeón" case, "Erederos" case, "áticos" case, "Garzón y su penulti-imputación" case,"Faisán" case...

Congratulations Mr. Camps!!.
