The southern vizcacha is a species of vizcacha, a rodent found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru. They’re similar to bunnies. They like inhabiting in wild rocky and low vegetation areas. Their colour, yellow or grey, serve as camouflage within the mountain’s holes. This rodent is threatened due to excessive hunting and destruction of their natural habitat. For this one, I used Faber-Castell’s Polychromos and Derwent’s Battery Eraser on Canson’s A4-sized white paper. It took five hours.

Based on the short story ‘Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius’ by Argentina author Jorge Luis Borges, where he describes an invented planet, this map visualizes it in the way that the planet could be understood, with a different way of thinking about the world. The content is written in Tlönian, an invented language from this foreign planet.

This is a pastel of the Dowager Countess of Grantham, portrayed by Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey! It took me a 27 hours to finish. I really love that series so much!

I don’t usually draw flowers nor anything related to nature lol (except animals, love drawing animals tbh), but I really wanted to give sunflowes a try!! This drawing took me four hours, I used Prismacolor’s Premier Soft Core pencils with Winsor & Newton’s ProMarkers on an A4-sized white paper.

I’ve always liked animals. When I was younger, I asked myself why only dogs (besides humans) could wear clothes. I had this surrealistic idea of fancy-dressed animals. I found it funny. I did this with Faber-Castell’s Polychromos and Winsor & Newton’s ProMarkers on A4-sized paper. I used as a reference an edit I made. It took me four hours.

I really used to like riding bikes. I remember that I used to go to the park on Sundays and rushed with it until I fell. And all over again. I wanted to make some kind of vintage-styled design, so I decided to draw a bike. I did it with Indian ink and the background with watercolor splashes.

‘We Can Do It!’ I drew this International Women’s Day, as I wanted to it to be something of the topic, I redrew the famous US’ wartime propaganda for women empowerment for working! I always considered it really inspiring!

I love this movie so much. Its technology was really advanced for that time, it was stunning. I find this character way too cute, and I wanted to draw it. I did it with HB and 2B pencils on A4-sized paper. It took me six hours.
