About the video: Basic sketches of the female figure

Partial transcription of the video
“Right now. we're going to do a very simple exercise. You can use your pen. You can use your pencil. whatever you feel comfortable with. It doesn't matter. As we did in previous exercises.

A course by Violeta Hernández
What most characterizes Violeta's work, in addition to the mythological and fantasy themes that permeate it, is the way in which she draws. Her strokes follow an organic flow, created freehand, through which she generates monochrome landscapes experimenting with transition, transparencies, and various color combinations. Violeta is in total awe of the perfection of nature, from its essence to its form, and is constantly trying to create atmospheres that she herself would love to live in through the characters she creates.
Her work has been exhibited in different galleries around the world, including Monterrey, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Detroit, London, and Barcelona. It can also be seen on various digital platforms and print media, such as Picnic magazine, ERRR magazine, Juxtapoz Latin America, NotCot.Org, NiceFuckingGraphics!, Prison For Young Offenders, Artvvork.com, FormFiftyFive.com, Artvvork.com, and Smile in Your Face.
