Soc en Swasky (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/swasky/">https://www.instagram.com/swasky/</a>) Urban Sketchers, dibuixant i professor d'anglès. En aquesta entrada trobareu informació per realitzar el taller al BARCELONA DIBUIXA d'enguany que es celebra el 10è aniversari. En la primera edició vaig venir amb la meva filla i amics que ens encanta el dibuix. He continuat participant com a amant del dibuix i també com a tallerista. Fomentar el dibuix i no oblidar-se que és una eina essencial per conèixer i per comunicar a les nostres vides és un dels meus objectius.<div><br /></div><div>A mi 'encanta dibuixar, com he mencionat, però també escriure i ho faig normalment en la meva diària, tant una cosa com l'altra. En aquest taller la idea fonamental és combinar <b>dibuix</b>, <b>escriptura</b> i afegir també la <b>història</b>.</div><div><br /></div><div>El nostre motiu principal és la capella de <b>Sta. Àgata</b>, un edifici vinculat a la història de Barcelona amb grans i petites històries. A partir dels diferents moments, <b>fites històriques</b> i <b>persones importants vinculades</b> a aquest espai, heu de crear un una doble pàgina al vostre quadern amb dibuixos de diferents parts o espais de la capella, la persona escollida i la història que els vincula. També haureu d'afegir una <b>part personal</b>.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">.<img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="200" height="391" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ia9yVvxzNUI/X0VXFYBpSCI/AAAAAAAAJL0/VZvU_NyVbWwtHLQaq_Nc7jj0n9IJhHmygCLcBGAsYHQ/w391-h391/Histories_dibuixades_Swasky_BIGDRAW2020.png" width="391" /> </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Mapa i personatges</b></div><div><b><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><iframe height="380" src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/embed?mid=12v-_FPFNcHFONWJ-QHqkxNVQ9wTTq5_A" width="380"></iframe> </b></div>

Maybe you are on your way to your job and as usual you are checking your FB account. Maybe you are watching your favourite TV show on your cellphone, or you are just answering all the e-mail that you have received. Yes, you are like most of us: a cell phone junkie, AKA <a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=media%20junkie">media junkie</a>. We are spreading our information all over the web. This morning I have read an article about our accepted unawareness of having become a target of algorithms. We have lost control, says <a href="https://elpais.com/elpais/2018/02/07/inenglish/1517995081_033617.html">Byung Chul Han</a> (Seoul, 1959). Again. Yesterday Elisabet had to make a speech about a book by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuval_Noah_Harari">Yuval Noah Harari </a>(Qiryat Atta, 1976), Homo Deus (2015) and he is also talking about control. When humankind believed in God everything was easier because it was in his hands, nevertheless with science God disappeared and the final reward too, the Paradise in Heaven. Now everything is under control, is it? Or it is under as Byung says under algorithms?<br />

M'encanta pel text que acompanya als dibuixos de l'Emmanuel Prost. El tema és polèmic, no cal dir-ho i sobre tot després del moviment que ha realitzat en Donald Trump, fent efectiu el trasllat de la seva embaixada a Jerusalem. No vull entrar en aquest tema, a més a més, estic encara llegint el llibre, i em centraré més en la narració visual.<br />

<br />
Per mi hi han dues veus que a vegades es sincronitzen, però a vegades divergeixen en el discurs. Dibuixant i escriptor són dues persones i han fet un viatge tots dos junts, com molt bé diuen en el prefaci, però a vegades cadascú mostra aspecte que els criden l'atenció.<br />

<br />
La part visual és extraordinària, però el text no és gens menys interessant, tot i que a vegades tinc la sensació que s'allunya massa, donant dades històriques i periodístiques, allargant explicacions d'una manera innecessària.<br />

El dibuixos d'Emmanuel són, la major part, fets o amb llapis, pinzell de tinta, rotulador i colorejats amb aquarel·la o digitalment.<br />

La maquetació és interessant però es nota que han hagut d'ajustar dibuixos al llibre i sembla com que no s'ha tingut en compte, inicialment, el format que tindria el llibre. Des del meu punt de vista, això hagués ajudat a que els dibuixos, dibuixos molt interessants en un tamany més gran, haurien guanyat molt més.<br />

<br />
El dibuixos colorejats digitalment funcionen molt bé, i donen ritme i ajuden a que el conjunt sigui més ric. La varietat de tractament de cada dibuix fa que visualment es pugui fer una viatge pels quaderns, pel viatge de l'Emmanuel.<br />

Els detalls, com el que us podeu trobar sota aquestes línies, aporten veracitat i vida al relat, a l'experiència del treball fet pels dos autors. La seva reacció de ràbia, guixant a sobre del dibuix, aconsegueix tot el contrari, del que volia aconseguir i dóna més emfasi a la seva actitud d'odi.<br />

D'altres retrats els ha de dibuixar de fotografia i potser són els menys interessants, però manté la seva capacitat de transmetre l'esperit de la persona retratada.<br />

Nevertheless, I always say that pencil gives you a line with a great variety of values which you should control. So once you has got a conscious of line then pencil becomes a lovely companion in your drawing.<br />
<br />

After having had some fun with my Palomino Black Wing and my Pitt Oil BASE by Faber-Castell I have found pretty nice features in both of them but also some faults. Anyway, I love both of them.<br />
<br />
Pitt Oil doesn't go through one page to another of your sketchbook, something that Palomino does. But Palomino's colour is nicer than the one of Pitt Oil. I have used most of the time Medium hardness but it seems that there are 5 different ones. I bought just three: soft, medium and hard.<br />
<br />
<br />

Here I have used the the "Polychromos" pencils which are soft and bright, but in words of Faber-Castell they also have got many more features like "unsurpassed lightfast pigments, 120 vibrant colors, break resistant tips, waterproof, non-smudge". My palette is quite narrow I have just 24 different colours but blues are nice as you can see.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last but not least, it is really important that you do not forget that pencils work better in smooth paper, better than in rough ones, because you do not lose the tip of pencil after a few lines and textures can be controlled better. </div>

Feia temps que volia encetar aquesta aventura, però el fet de què el pes l'haguem posat en d'altres xarxes socials no m'ha ajudat gens. Com sempre, tot és una qüestió de temps, del temps que disposes, del temps que pots dedicar al que fas. Tinc ganes de centrar-me més en allò que m'agrada i deixar d'estar dispers, oferint les meves energies d'una manera desequilibrada.<br />
<br />
Així que us presento la sèrie de vídeos que aniré penjant. El primer va ser aquest que hi ha sota aquestes línies. Va ser una prova una presentació que potser és molt llarg, que té problemes amb l'audio, però que va ser una manera de començar, de llançar-se a la piscina.<br />
<br />
En aquest vídeo ensenyo el meu camí fins a la Fundació Miró des de Sants Estació, un projecte en el que he estat treballant des de principis d'any. Estic ja en els últims detalls, en els més importants, així que no s'ha de defallir.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">This week I could finally upload the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpTUyNlqvbo">fifth episode</a> of my vblog. I had long wanted to start this adventure, but the fact that the weight we put on other social networks did not help anything. As always, everything is a matter of time, whereas you have, while you can spend in what you do. I want to focus more on what I like and stop being dispersed by offering my energies unevenly. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">So I present a series of videos that will go uploading. The first was the one who is beneath these lines. It was a test presentation, it is perhaps too long, it has problems with the audio, but it was a way to start, a way to begin this new adventure. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">In this video I show my way up to the Miró Foundation from Sants Station, in a project I've been working since early this year. I'm already in the last detail, in the most important, so you should not lose heart.</span><br />

<br />
Darrerament veig que això de dibuixar puja i puja molt. El fet de dibuixar en un quadern, en una llibreta resulta molt atractiu i sobretot el fet que ha esdevingut una acte social. Dibuixar junts sembla ser una bona manera d'aprendre i ho és però al final aquesta activitat s'ha de practicar. S'ha de dibuixar molt, moltes hores, com tot. En aquesta entrada volia parlar del vídeo que trobeu sobre aquestes línies, però el fet de llegir diversos articles sobre el fet de què hi han més i més cursos sobre urban sketching m'ha fet reflexionar. Per mi l'urban sketching, cosa que s'ha anat definint amb el pas d'aquests darrers 9 anys, el proper any es celebraran els 10 anys d'Urban Sketchers, no només és dibuixar sobre un quadern, és molt més, és dibuixar i explicar històries.<br />
<br />
Mentre hi ha gent que agafa un quadern i escriu per explicar històries, jo el que faig són dues coses dibuixar i escriure. Potser aquesta darrera és la que més ens costa, potser és perquè hem perdut el costum d'escriure. Ho entenc, jo em considero una persona visual, i en aquesta societat de la imatge som uns "homo videns" i uns "homo ludens", imatges i diversió a dojo.<br />
<br />
És per això que us animo a no només dibuixar, afegiu text, escribiu en els vostres quaderns, no perdeu l'oportunitat de dir coses. Coses que no siguin evidents, coses suggerents, pensaments que siguin una espurna per encendre la curiositat.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Lately I see that drawing is going up and up. The act of drawing in a pad, a sketchbook is very attractive and especially the fact that it has become a social event. Drawing together seems to be a good way to learn and it is but in the end this activity must be practiced. You have to draw many, many hours, like everything. In this post I wanted to talk about the video you find above, but after reading several articles on the fact that there are more and more courses about urban sketching made me think. For me, the Urban Sketching, which has been defined with the passage of the last nine years, next year will celebrate 10 years of Urban Sketchers is not only drawing on a notebook is more is draw and tell stories. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">While there are people who take a notebook and writes to tell stories, what I do are two things to draw and write. Perhaps this last is the most difficult for us, perhaps it is because we have lost the habit of writing. I understand, I consider myself a visual person, and this image society we are "videns homo" and a "homo ludens", images and fun in abundance. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">That is why I encourage you to not only draw, add text write down in your notebook, do not miss the opportunity to say things. Things that are not obvious, things suggestive, thoughts to be a spark to ignite curiosity.</span>Swaskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04237485050351687097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18581544.post-68496516965124506272016-08-10T07:28:00.002+02:002016-08-10T07:28:57.612+02:00New ink for my fountain pens and brushes<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Yesterday I received a parcel with three new bottles of black ink. It is waterproof and it has plenty of colours, probably not as much as Noodler's but they are really nice and quite safe from impurities. This is the reason I have decided to use it in my brushes.</div>

I refill my fountain pens and brushes cartridges with a syringe. It is preferable that you use one for each colour if you do not want to pollute brighter colours with darkest. </div>

Here it is a detail from the drawing from above. I love how ink behaves, it is like watercolour. It is also important which paper do you use. Here I have used a Leuchturm 1917 sketchbook. It is not suitable for wet media but it stands the use of ink as you can see.</div>

Last days in Châtel-Guyon where really a bit stressful, but I needed to take a break and on Saturday morning I decided to go and draw a tractor a wonderful Ferguson - 30. From the old days when Châtel-Guyon still kept some farmers from its old days. </div>

I draw this tractor because sometimes you must to pay an homage to someone who has given and share so much to everybody. This person was <a href="http://www.flaf.de/">Florian Afflerbach</a>. I met him in Lisbon in 2010, we didn't talk too much to each other because I'm a shy person with those who I see as a model, and now I regret it to myself. He was one of the formers founders of Urban Sketchers. He was an architect but he didn't fit to nowadays architects profiles, who mainly do not draw. They just use computers. Anyway, he was really fan of drawing cars and he and Lapin were about to teach a workshop in the Manchester Urban Sketchers Symposium. It is a shame but his artwork and wise teaching remains among many of us. Thank you so much!<br />

Eating in France has become a really nice experience, I have enjoyed plenty of great french dishes, plenty of good cheese and plenty of good wine. Every day at Châtel-Guyon, I had supper and breakfast at the Hôtel Spa Thermalia were I was delighted with for instance choux à la crème as a dessert or lobster... Before I left Châtel-Guyon I decided to eat at <a href="http://www.villa-m-chatelguyon.com/">Villa M</a>, great experience eating croustillant de Saint Nectaire, salade de jeunes pousses, suprème de Poulet fermier Label Rouge, Curry doux, Épeutre et Lentilles Corail. Finally as a dessert I choose un petit pot façon Viennois, Chocolat, Chantilly à la Banane Verte. </div>

Before I left Châtel-Guyon and my hotel, <a href="http://www.hotel-spa-thermalia.com/fr/">Hotel Spa Thermalia</a>, I wanted to get an idea of my all my work done along five days. Hard work indeed but really pleasant. Nevertheless, I had to draw a last sketch, the one of rue Baraduc with the market. full of people and stalls, with different regional products or clothes. There was also a band which was part of the Jazz Festival, <a href="http://www.jazz-aux-sources.com/">Jazz aux Sources</a>.</div>

All the days I have spent in Châtel-Guyon have been a bit wet, most of my journeys was so. Fortunately I had the chance to change my plans from outdoor sketches to interior drawings.

I had experience ups and downs with my drawings. People say that drawing and arts are for having fun, of course they are for that but also to experience frustration, it is part of the learning process, it is part of being a person. Here there are some of those which have been part of May learning process:<br />

Flight attendant also asked me to read all the step by step in case of an emergency. I decided to draw it using myself as the main character.<br />
<br />
There are plenty of people scared when they take a plane, I'm not. Maybe it is the way I am, maybe is that I feel like I'm taking a bus. Nevertheless, I'm lucky because most of the time I'm drawing and I'm worried about my leaking brushes, because of the pressure inside the cabin, and all these worries keep my brain busy.<br />
<br />
After having a look to the emergency guidelines I felt a bit worried but then I saw it from the funny side. Hieratic figures of the original step by step were like "ok, we have suffered a flight crash but everything is fine." In some way figures and situation didn't fit to each other. I imagine something like "Lost" scenes where all the passengers started shouting and hand luggage was floating around.<br />

Once I started my step by step I stopped because flight attendants started their play. Yes, that one that you should followed even if you are a regular traveller.<br />
<br />
Life vest and oxygen mask are cool. Don't you think that a theme park about "fake emergency situations" would succeed? Human being is quite complicated, aren't we?<br />

I went there because Isabel Carmona invite me. My family and I went there and visit a nice but not so touristic as Toledo. It is a great city to enjoy with plenty of monuments and secret stories behind, most of them told by stones.<br />
<div>

<br />
Before leaving Barcelona I had two request one from Isabel and the other from Santi Sallés. Isabel asked me to buy plenty of different liquid watercolors from a catalan brand called Vallejo. They produce nice colors but some of them, unfortunately, fade with UV light. After wandering along some art shops I found all of them. Then, secondly, Santi asked me to bring to him a Noodlers, the Heart of Darkness or the Lexington Gray. None of the Noodlers inks are easy to find in the UK even in London so I couldn't accomplish his request. Anyway I found <a href="http://www.swasky.es/2015/05/grey-enjoying-it.html">three nice felt tip</a> pens which are quite useful for drawing and they stand watercolor washes.<br />

Segovia is quite handful and easy to go everywhere by foot. It is a city which in Easter Break is bit busy with plenty of people coming just for enjoying the old and traditional processions. Virgins and crucified Christ were strolled around. We visited places as the old Vera Cruz Church. A romanesque church which was founded by the knights templars in the 1208. What is really appealing is the 12 sides plant.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">English version / versión en Español</span></div>
<br />
Ja fa uns quants anys que vaig als Sketchcrawl i la meva experiència ha anat canviant. De ser uns 5 o 6 hem acabat sent, normalment, uns 60 o 70. El màxim que ens hem reunit han sigut unes 500 persones el dia de l'Sketchcrawl que va coincidir amb el simposi a Barcelona, ara ja fa 3 anys, però no és el normal. Per mi molta gent és massa i poca gent està bé, tot i que les 60 o 70 persones que van venir aquest darrer Sketchcrawl va estar bé. Al final, sempre, tot és una qüestió d'organització.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xWuWe2mWDwE/VsrRpyUl3vI/AAAAAAAAHUg/k68JTKU3p0w/s1600/24_ISABEL_SkB_052-053.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xWuWe2mWDwE/VsrRpyUl3vI/AAAAAAAAHUg/k68JTKU3p0w/s640/24_ISABEL_SkB_052-053.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
En Santi va proposar que es fés aquesta vegada a la Plaça Catalunya per dibuixar un lloc emblemàtic. Ja sabem que pot arribar el pitjor lloc per a un barceloní, tot ple de turistes, de coloms i venedors de globus. Però al final no va estar tan malament. Només començar ja erem uns 30, però la gent es va anar afegint al llarg del matí.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hLZCicfadOc/VsrU8vPnuBI/AAAAAAAAHVE/SXMXnETOx-Y/s1600/24_ISABEL_SkB_052-053b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hLZCicfadOc/VsrU8vPnuBI/AAAAAAAAHVE/SXMXnETOx-Y/s640/24_ISABEL_SkB_052-053b.jpg" title="Senyor paquistanés, que es passa tot el dia intentant vendre llaunes de Coca-Cola i ampolles d'aigua." width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Per mi Plaça Catalunya és un lloc on de petit en van fer una foto donant de menjar als coloms. És un bon record, i encara avui es continua fent. Ara veig als coloms d'una altra manera. Ara la gent es fa fotos amb pals de "selfie" i la Plaça s'ha convertit en un lloc on els "top manta" intenten sobreviure. Els senyors que venen begudes i gelats són paquistanesos. Tot ha canviat, però tot continua igual.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
El globus són pels nens un reclam, no falten aquells dels personatges que surten a la televisió com el "Pocoyo" o les princesses de Disney, "Bob Esponja" i la resta d'animals imprescindibles. Els coloms volten per tot arreu, pidolant menjar.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Un cop hem dibuixat durant les primeres hores a plaça Catalunya ens dirigim a la parròquia de Sta. Anna, amagada però cada vegada més coneguda. Ara ja fa uns 3 anys van començar a cobrar entrada per visitar el claustre romànic. Des de llavors no he tornat a entrar. No vull entrar en el debat etern i estèril de si Barcelona és pels turistes o pels barcelonins, queda clar que ja fa temps que Barcelona ha deixat de ser pels seus habitants, com totes les grans ciutats europees, Barcelona, com Londres o París, ha caigut en les mans dels tour-operadors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
Després de dinar tota una colla, gent nova, gent que ja fa temps que venim als Sketchcrawls, vàrem tornar a la Plaça de Catalunya per continuar dibuixant més. Jo tenia ganes de dibuixar unes de les escultures. Aquesta precisament és de <a href="https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Mar%C3%A8s_i_Deulovol">Frederic Marès</a>. La vida és estranya, dies abans em vaig assabentar que l'escultor era nat a la vila de Portbou, lloc on faré un <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/178767432489535/">taller</a> juntament amb en Santi.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MoixoNkV_qs/VssgwWQA1UI/AAAAAAAAHVs/B3q7hIjiUvI/s1600/24_ISABEL_SkB_056_057a.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MoixoNkV_qs/VssgwWQA1UI/AAAAAAAAHVs/B3q7hIjiUvI/s640/24_ISABEL_SkB_056_057a.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
L'escultura representa a una jove a cavall, Barcelona, que amb els braços alçats sosté un vaixell, que representa el passat i el present comercial i marítim de la ciutat. Aquest aspecte comercial està reforçat amb la figura de Mercuri "déu de la mitologia romana, que era el missatger dels déus,[1] protector del comerç, fill de Júpiter i Maia Maiestas. Era un déu important dels negocis, els beneficis i el comerç. El seu nom està relacionat amb Merx-rcis: mercaderia, article, gènere." (font la viquipèdia).<br />

<span style="color: #999999;">This post was supposed to have been published last week, but 2016, at the very beginning, has taught me one thing: <b>do backups of your hard drives and do not trust in system <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_1">RAID 1</a> also known as mirrored hard drives</b>. Watch and do not lose your work and memories. Now I have two hard drives in a store data recovery. Fingers crossed!</span><br />

<br />
Un cop esmentat el problema dels discs durs ja podem encetar els objectius dels 2016<br />
<br />
Dibuixar i la docència és la meva vida i després de llegir les entrades de <a href="http://www.lizsteel.com/2016/01/on-being-a-blogger.html">Liz Steel</a> i <a href="http://www.parkablogs.com/content/imfa-15-reasons-why-you-should-blog-artist">Parka</a> un munt de coses són més clares. Estic content per ser una persona que treballa en allò que s'estima com ells. Jo estic més o menys com ells en la mateixa situació, però ells han treballat dur mantenint el bloc actualitazat, no com jo. Per això la meva promesa d'Any Nou, o una d'elles, és mantenir al dia tant com pugui el meu blog. Com Liz Steel diu la seva entrada els blocs no estan morts, però exigeixen un gran compromís i molta feina. Per últim però no menys important, i això ho prenc directament de l'entrada de Liz Steel:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"La docència és la primera manera de donar-me suport, de moment."</div>
<br />
Per això gràcies per tenir-me present i gràcies per compartir els vostres pensaments amb mi. Espero <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
que totes i tots gaudiu tot allò que comparteixi amb vosaltres.<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Dibujar y la docencia es mi vida y después de leer las entradas de Liz Steel y Parka un montón de cosas son más claras. Estoy feliz por ser una persona que trabaja en lo que se estima como ellos. Yo estoy más o menos como ellos en la misma situación, pero ellos han trabajado duro manteniendo el bloque actualitazat, no como yo. Por eso mi promesa de Año Nuevo, o una de ellas, es mantener al día tanto como pueda mi blog. Como Liz Steel dice su entrada los bloques no están muertos, pero exigen un gran compromiso y mucho trabajo. Por último pero no menos importante, y esto lo tomo directamente de la entrada de Liz Steel:</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">"La docencia es la primera forma de darme apoyo, de momento."</span></div>
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Por eso gracias por tenerme presente y gracias por compartir vuestros pensamientos conmigo. espero</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">que todas y todos disfruten todo lo que comparta con vosotros.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Drawing and teaching is my life and after reading <a href="http://www.lizsteel.com/2016/01/on-being-a-blogger.html">Liz Steel</a> and <a href="http://www.parkablogs.com/content/imfa-15-reasons-why-you-should-blog-artist">Parka'</a>s posts a lot of things are clearer. I feel happy for being a person who's working on something that I love like them. I'm more or less in the same situation, but they have really worked hard keeping a blog updated, not like me. So my New Year's resolution, or one of them, is to keep updated as much as I can my blog. As Liz Steel mentions in her post blogs are not dead, but they demand a lot of commitment and hard work. Last but not least, and I take it directly from Liz Steel's post:</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">"Teaching is my main way of supporting myself, at the moment."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">This is the third year of participating on a great project where sharing our knowledge about drawing is our main goal. I strongly believe that it should be practiced by</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>

Last october I went to a drawing meeting to a nice island and I finished an sketchbook. I called it "The Blue Sketchbook" because I have been using a blue ink that Miguel Herranz gave to me, and obviously an sketchbook with blue cover should be called "The Blue Sketchbook". Blue ink and two blue pencils has been the three most used drawing tools along its pages, so blue was the color. </div>

Drawing in Mallorca, one of the nicest island in the Mediterranean sea of the Balearic islands, was an adventure which became reality thanks to <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/66615353@N05/">Catalina Rigo</a> and <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/51005122@N08">Feliu Renom</a> first of all, because they asked to the "Còmic Nostrum" organisation invite me and also to <a href="http://skizzenblog.rolfschroeter.com/">Rolf Schröter</a>, in order to organise a drawing meeting to share our experience.<br />

Airports are a strange place, a place where sometimes you spend too much time. This is the reason when you have an sketchbook and you have the opportunity of drawing some planes, time flies and suddenly you are called to get into your flight.</div>

És una gran sorpresa, tot i que en l'ambient que ens trobem sembla que és molt normal que tot tanqui. Aquest era el comentari que feiem entre els que ens vàrem trobar ahir el dia de comiat que ens van convocar l'Alejandra i el Daniel. Afortunadament, aquesta és una parada temporal i ells volen continuar amb el seu projecte de difusors de la cultura i de l'art. Com? No ens han dit, però no ho volen deixar.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">The gallery Mitte Barcelona closes. It is a great surprise, although in the general mood that we are is very normal that everything closes. This was the comment that we did among those we met yesterday the farewell day we summoned to Alejandra and Daniel. Fortunately, this is a temporary stop, and they want to continue their project as disseminators of culture and art. How? We have ask, but they did not want to answer, at the moment.

El fet és que quan vaig tornar a casa vaig buscar com un boig més informació, per veure si alguna cosa més es podia esbrinar. I sí, vaig trobar una entrevista a l'Alejandra que es va fer a Radio 4 arran de l'anunci del tancament de la galeria.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Aquí tenim a totes les meves plomes. Les plomes que tinc haurien de ser, en comptes de set, nou. Dues d'elles les he perdut, però no influeix gaire. D'esquerra a dreta hi han tres Lamy Safari, una Sailor Calligraphy amb un plomí caligràfic amb una inclinació de 55º. La següent és una ploma HERO caligràfica, amb una inclinació de 45º, igual que la següent ploma que és una Sailor. I la darrera és una ploma Pelikan M200, amb un plomí flexible.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Per mi la ploma és l'eina de dibuix més adequada pel concepte que tinc de la línia. És per aquesta raó que insisteixo en què cadascú ha de trobar l'eina més adequada al seu estil. El fet és que com que la ploma es pot adaptar al màxim és sense cap mena de dubte la millor eina de dibuix. Pots canviar els plomins, les tintes, que fins i tot pots fer la teva tinta. És tant versàtil que jo estic enamorat de les meves plomes. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Aquí tenemos a todas mis plumas. Las plumas que tengo deberían ser, en vez de siete, nueve. Dos de ellas las he perdido, pero no influye mucho. De izquierda a derecha hay tres Lamy Safari, una Sailor Calligraphy con un plumín caligráfico con una inclinación de 55º. La siguiente es una pluma HERO caligráfica, con una inclinación de 45º, al igual que la siguiente pluma que es una Sailor. Y la última es una pluma Pelikan M200, con un plumín flexible. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Para mí la pluma es la herramienta de dibujo más adecuada por el concepto que tengo de la línea. Es por esta razón que insisto en que cada uno tiene que encontrar la herramienta más adecuada a su estilo. El hecho es que como que la pluma se puede adaptar al máximo podría ser la mejor herramienta de dibujo. Puedes cambiar los plumillas, las tintas, e incluso puedes hacer tu tinta. Es tan versátil que yo estoy enamorado de mis plumas.</span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Here they are all my pens. Fountain pens that I have should be instead of seven, nine. I lost two of them, but it does not influence much. From left to right are three Lamy Safari, a Sailor Calligraphy with a calligraphic nib at an angle of 55 °. The following is a calligraphic pen HERO, with an inclination of 45 °, as follows pen is a Sailor. And the last is a Pelikan M200 fountain pen with a flexible nib. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">For me fountain pen is the most appropriate drawing tool for the concept that I have of line. It is for this reason that I insist that everyone has to find the most suitable tool to his own style. The fact is that as the pen can be adapted to most it might the best drawing tool. You can change nibs, inks, you can even make your own ink. It's so versatile that I'm in love with my pens.</span><br />

La ploma Lamy Safari és la millor manera de començar a dibuixar amb ploma. És una eina robusta, encara que sigui de plàstic i com vaig llegir per primer cop en el bloc de la Nina Johansson és una ploma tot terreny. Originalment la primera Safari que em vaig comprar va ser la de color blau, de seguida vaig veure que la tinta que ve un cop que te la compres <b>no aguanta l'acuarel·la</b>. Per aquesta raó vaig seguir el consell de la Nina i vaig buscar la tinta que ella recomanava: la <a href="http://lebrilope.com/papeleria/es/home/728-tinta-platinum-carbon-ink.html">Platinum Ink</a> (22€). En el moment que jo ho vaig fer la vaig trobar només per internet, però ara ja es pot trobar a la ciutat de Barcelona.<br />

<span style="color: #666666;">La pluma Lamy Safari es la mejor manera de empezar a dibujar con pluma. Es una herramienta robusta, aunque sea de plástico y como leí por primera vez en el blog de Nina Johansson es una pluma todoterreno. Originalmente la primera Safari que me compré fue la de color azul, enseguida vi que la tinta que viene, una vez que te la compras, no aguanta la acuarela. Por esta razón seguí el consejo de la Nina y busqué la tinta que ella recomendaba: la Platinum Ink (€ 22). En el momento que yo lo hice sólo la encontré por internet, pero ahora ya se puede encontrar en la ciudad de Barcelona.</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Lamy Safari pen is the best way to start drawing with pen. It is a robust tool, even it is made of plastic it is a solid tool as I first read on Nina Johansson's blog. Originally the first Safari I bought was the blue, I immediately saw that the ink that comes with them does not stand watercolor. For this reason I followed Nina's advice and I bought the ink she recommended: the Platinum Ink (€ 22). At the time I did I only found it online, but now it can be found in the city of Barcelona easily.

El traços de les Lamy, com ja he comentat, són controlables, per aquesta raó és interessant per aquelles i aquells que volgueu començar a dibuixar amb ploma. Potser el problema més gran que us podeu trobar és que el pot de tinta resistent a l'aigua és molt gran, penseu que les carregues són d'uns 1,2 ml i el pot de Carbon Ink és de 60 ml. Féu números i veureu que us surt a compte. Hi han més tintes que se suposa que aguanten l'aquarel·la, però cap d'elles té un negre tant profund i intens que com aquest, tot això és degut a les partícules de carbó. Aquest fet fa que hagueu de ser cuidadosos amb la neteja de les vostres plomes. La Lamy es pot desmuntar facilment així que per qualsevol persona és molt recomanable.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">The lines of Lamy, as I said, are controllable, for this reason it's interesting to those who want to start drawing with a fountain pen. Perhaps the biggest problem you may have is that the waterproof ink bottle is quite big, nevertheless think that cartridges are about 1.2 ml and Carbon Ink pot is 60 ml. Divide and you will see it pays off. There are more inks that are supposed to stand watercolor, but none of them has both a deep and intense black like this, it is due to the carbon particles. So you have to be careful and cleaning your fountain pens often. The Lamy can be </span><span style="color: #999999;">easily </span><span style="color: #999999;">removed so it is highly recommended to </span><span style="color: #999999;">anyone</span><span style="color: #999999;">.</span><br />

El fet és que vaig perdre la meva primera ploma caligráfica i vaig decidir-me a comprar-me la mateixa altra vegada, la meva de 55º, que originalment era verda. Quan vaig rebre el paquet em va sorprendre que fos d'un altre color, un blau marí, molt fosc i un cop vaig fixar-me en el paquet vaig veure que la inclinació era de 40º i no com el 55º de la meva anterior ploma. Llavors vaig trobar la ploma Sailor Profit Fude de Mannen de 55º que la gran diferència amb la meva Sailor original a part del nom, Sailor DE Brush Stroke Style Calligraphy, és la llargaria del cos. Llavors ja entrem en consideracions de gustos i preferències, hi ha gent que li agradarà una o una altra segons s'adapti a la mà.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Estas de aquí arriba son las plumas de Sailor, las caligráficas que sólo varían la inclinación de las plumillas y consecuentemente varía la inclinación con la que tienes que trabajar para conseguir un espesor u otro. El hecho es que perdí mi primera pluma caligráfica y decidí a comprarme otra vez la misma de 55º que originalmente era verde. Cuando recibí el paquete me sorprendió que fuera de otro color, un azul marino, muy oscuro y una vez que me fijé en el paquete vi que la inclinación era de 40º y no de 55º como la de mi anterior pluma . Enonces encontré la pluma Sailor Profit FUDE de Mannen de 55º que se diferencia con mi Sailor original aparte del nombre, Sailor DE Brush Stroke Style Calligraphy, en la longitud del cuerpo. Entonces aquí ya entramos en consideraciones de gustos y preferencias, hay gente que le gustará una u otra según se adapte a su mano.

<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">These here up </span><span style="color: #999999;">are my </span><span style="color: #999999;">Sailor pens, calligraphic only vary the inclination of the pens and consequently vary the inclination to work to get a thickness or another. The fact is that I lost my first calligraphic pen and decided to buy again the same 55º. Mine was originally green. When I received the package I was surprised it was a different color, a dark blue, very dark and once I looked at the package I saw that the inclination was 40º, not 55º as my previous pen. Then I found the pen Sailor Profit 55º Mannen FUDE a big difference with my original Sailor apart from the name, Sailor Style Calligraphy Brush Stroke is the length of the body. So here we enter into considerations of taste and preference, some people may like one or the other according they fit in their hand.</span><br />

<br />
El nom de "Fude de Mannen" és un joc de paraules en japonés, que són "Fude" (pinzell) i "Mannen" (ploma estilogràfica), però també pot sonar com "això és un pinzell" si s'utilitza un accent local japonés. Aquest és un nom molt encertat ja que aquestes plomes conjuguen les característiques d'un pinzell i d'una ploma estilogràfica. Molt recomanable.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">El nombre de "FUDE de Mannen" es un juego de palabras en japonés, que son "FUDE" (pincel) y "Mannen" (pluma estilográfica), pero también puede sonar como "esto es un pincel" si se utiliza un acento local japonés. Este es un nombre muy acertado ya que estas plumas conjugan las características de un pincel y de una pluma estilográfica. Muy recomendable.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">The name "FUDE Mannen" is a pun in Japanese, which are "FUDE" (brush) and "Mannen" (fountain pen), but can also sound like "this is a brush" if a local accent is used Japanese. This is aptly named because these feathers combine the features of a brush and a fountain pen. Highly recommended.

És també una ploma caligràfica, un regal, però a mi no m'ha acabat de funcionar. Potser hauré de tornar a fer una altra visita, ja que d'altres fanàtics de les plomes com en <a href="http://www.josumaroto.com/2012/04/hero-593.html">Josu Maroto</a> li té molta estima. Si he de comentar alguna cosa és que porta una càrrega amb èmbol i la quantitat de tinta s'acaba molt ràpid, degut a què es fan traços molt gruixuts, la quantitat de tinta que gastes no es pot comparar com quan fas ús de plomins normals. Poc recomanable.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Es también una pluma caligráfica, un regalo, pero a mí no me ha acabado de funcionar. Quizás tendré que volver a hacer otra visita, ya que otros fanáticos de las plumas como Josu Maroto le tiene mucho aprecio. Si tengo que comentar algo es que lleva una carga con émbolo y la cantidad de tinta se acaba muy rápido, debido a que se hacen trazos muy gruesos; la cantidad de tinta que gastas no se puede comparar como cuando haces uso de plumillas normales. Poco recomendable.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">It is also a calligraphic pen, a gift, but I did not finish me working. Maybe I'll have to redo another visit, as other fans of fountain pens like Josu Maroto have much appreciation of it. If I have to say something it is carrying a load plunger and the amount of ink you got just run out very quickly, because very thick strokes are made and the amount of ink you spend does not compare like when you use normal pens. Inadvisable.

<br />
És la meva ploma més cara amb diferència, però es nota la diferència amb la resta. No ens enganyem el preu ha de ser en alguna part i el plomí i el sistema que té de càrrega de tinta, per mitjà d'un èmbol que ja està incorporat al cos, són dos punts a tenir en compte. Tot i que diuen que té un plomí flexible no ho és tant com jo m'esperava. El plomí és de mida M i potser influeix. Com veieu a sota les proves que he fet son prou aclaridores. La tinta que he utilitzat ha estat la Platinum Ink. Potser el que menys m'agrada és la manera de com es carrega, que és per èmbol.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Es mi pluma más cara con diferencia, pero se nota la diferencia con el resto. No nos engañemos el precio debe de estar en alguna parte y el plumín y el sistema que tiene de carga de tinta, por medio de un émbolo que ya está incorporado al cuerpo, son dos puntos a tener en cuenta. Aunque dicen que tiene un plumín flexible no lo es tanto como yo me esperaba. El plumín es de tamaño M y quizás influye. Como veis en las pruebas que he hecho son bastante aclaratorias. La tinta que he utilizado ha sido la Platinum Ink. Quizás lo que menos me gusta es la manera de cómo se carga, que es por émbolo.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">It is by far my most expensive pen, but the difference is noticeable with the rest. Let's be honest, price should be somewhere and the nib and the loading system with ink through a piston, which is already incorporated into the body, are two points to pay attention to. Although they say that has a flexible nib, it is not as much as I expected. Nib is M size and perhaps it makes the difference. As you can see in the tests I've done they are pretty explanatory. I used the Platinum Ink. Perhaps what I dislike is the way how to load ink, with a plunger.</span><br />

Last month one of my illustrations was published in ICON. It was an another still life illustration but now I introduced two people. I was asked to draw a Deli shop with plenty of different product as french cheese, japanese rice, mexican liquor, german sausage, and many more. They ask me to place all of it inside the shop but I propose a different concept: draw them individually and then place them above de Deli shop. </div>

Lately in Barcelona plenty of old establishments are closing forever. All of them rooted to neighborhoods, districts or the whole city, like VINÇON. Baylina's Bakery is less noticeable, not as famous as VINÇON, but as important as it. <br />

Is time to retire to Oriol, Clara's brother, who has ran family business since he was young and now no one will follow in charge of it, one of the oldest cake makers in Barcelona, since 1899. The same year which football club Barcelona was founded. L'Oriol is happy, not sad, because he will spend more time with hir wife and practicing his favourite hobby, photography.</span><br />

These new tip pens were a great suggestion made by Tessa a really nice attendee from my last workshop ran in <a href="http://workshops.urbansketchers.org/2015/01/space-oddities-pushing-your-sketching.html">Coventry</a>. I noticed them and she told me that I might find them in a shop called <a href="http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/">Hobbycraft</a>.<br />

This nice set offers three thicknesses 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5, a quite wide range, from my point of view. </div>

And its grey is really lovely, not too dark, not too light. I've been looking for something like this long time ago and now I think I have found something quite right.<br />

Un gran dia ha estat la millor manera de començar, amb molt de sol i el Parc de Vallparadís obert a tothom. L'any passat vaig estar també dibuixant i aquest només he pogut copsar a la parella de la dreta. M'ha encantat dibuixar-los, espero tornar-los a veure el proper any.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">A great day was the best way to start, with plenty of sunshine and Park Vallparadís open to everyone. Last year I was also drawing and that I could only grasp the couple on the right. I enjoyed drawing them, I hope to see them again next year.</span>Swaskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04237485050351687097noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18581544.post-37834509995694644582015-02-18T10:35:00.000+01:002015-02-18T10:44:38.659+01:00Again on the train.

El tren és el millor lloc per dibuixar gent. Sempre gaudeixo dels retrats de Lynne Chapman "al tren" i de molts més que fan el mateix. Els viatgers són models paciènts que de vegades són amables i posen davant teu durant 20 minuts o, a vegades, menys, i aquesta incertesa força la teva velocitat dibuixant. Els dorments de dia són els models més agradables, després dels addictes als telèfons intel·ligents. Mentre dibuixo en el tren no puc evitar que la meva ment començi a inventar històries sobre la vida de la gent, amb molt drama o felicitat, cosa que depèn de l'aparença cares.<br />
