This is my final project for the course. It's been a long process, but I've enjoyed it every step of the way. I'm used to looser, faster drawings, and doing this slow one has shown me many new and enriching things. The deep observation that comes from drawing is a wonderful experience, whether it turns out well or not.
Furthermore, the classes have been excellent. The topics covered are far from simple, but they were explained calmly, passionately, and with lots of drawings, and they were truly beneficial. So, Diego, I'd like to sincerely thank you for this course and your constant feedback throughout. I hope to take more courses with you, either online or, preferably, in real life.
All the best!!!!!
Este es mi proyecto final para el curso. Ha sido un proceso largo pero lo he disfrutado a cada paso. Estoy acostumbrada a dibujos más sueltos y rápidos y hacer este tan lento me ha mostrado muchas cosas nuevas y enriquecedoras. La observación profunda que nace de la convivencia con el dibujo es una experiencia maravillosa, salga bien o mal.
Además, las clases han sido excelentes. Los temas tratados no son nada sencillos pero explicados con calma, pasión y muchos dibujos han sido realmente provechosos. Así que Diego, querría agradecerte de corazón este curso y tu constante feedback durante el mismo. Espero hacer más cursos contigo, ya sea online o, preferentemente, en la ‘vida real’.
Un saludo!!!!!

Congratulations, excellent work. Thanks for sharing, especially the phases of its development. Greetings.
I love.
Congratulations!!
very good! I love being able to see the different parts of the process!
Very nice, an elegant image. See the cool steps.
Bestial Marta, I can't add anything to everything I told you in the previous steps. I personally enjoy pushing the surface drawing to a tactile quality because I like to explore the volumetric effect to the limit on the plane of the paper. However, you do not define the surface so much but that very slight haze almost of blur adds great mystery to the image, which combines perfectly with the magnificent framing, the insurmountable gesture, the piercing gaze and the half-open mouth in a perfect combination of late Renaissance and late-Renaissance composition. very private snapshot.
It is a wonderful drawing, thanks for sharing it in the maja forum :)
@diego_catalan , thank you from the heart for these words, they make me very happy and cheer up !! :)
Fascinating! congratulations Marta! Your drawing transmits the soul and the feeling of the person at that moment, and therefore, also shows your connection with her ... that is what it is about and that is what makes me vibrate about portraits. Your line conveys softness, confidence, care, attention to detail and respect. Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful job!
Marta, your work is fabulous and, best of all, highly inspiring. Thank you very much for having shared it !!
@olgamar thank you for these beautiful words :)
Excellent work, greetings from Oaxaca, Mexico.
Very good work congratulations
Very real, the look as if it surprises you, and I am excited about your work and very beautiful detail is what remains to be said.
Very good work. The photo caught my attention and I am happy to see the result. Very good pose, very interesting. I love drawing
@pique_san thank you very much :)
Thanks @gardo33pe !!
@ccabreradm thanks! I see that you are also enrolled in Diego's course, take advantage of it because it is wonderful. You are sure to get a great project out of it.
Excellent .... I would say that it is a work like the great masters!
Hello Marta, did you have previous knowledge of drawing? Because I wanted to take the course but I am a total beginner I just started in drawing and I have my doubts about whether it is suitable for me as a beginner
Thanks @gem2008 !!! :)
@aleefragapane sorry for the delay in answering !! Yes, I had previous knowledge since I did the Fine Arts degree and previously an artistic baccalaureate. But I think it is such a complete course that both beginners and more advanced users can get a lot out of it. Keep in mind that learning to draw is slow and requires many hours and dedication, so courses as good as this one are perfect for staying motivated and moving forward.
I have seen that you have finally signed up for the course and I am sure that you will not regret it. Enjoy it very much because Diego is an excellent teacher.
Greetings and good luck !!!!!!
This one goes straight to my favorites.
@gdfmos thanks :) I hope that if you are doing the course you will enjoy it as much as I did. A greeting!
Extraordinary ¡¡¡besides the perfect face, I loved the lightness conveyed by the blouse and its pattern.
My favorite, I even got excited, what a beauty: )
