Statues-tatues-atues-tues-ues-es-s 2.

The next one is statues from Macau.
The island of Macau its sitatued near Hong Kong, but its ruled bu the Chinese, well at least one part...
I wanted to do studies from the face, its fascinating how all buddhist sculptures are so harmonic and i think this is all because the facial expressions.

In Hungary, there is a park known as the " statue park ", in this place there are a lot of statues that were in the streets in the communist Budapest.

I chose this statue because is full of energy and i think it pretty much says a lot of the time in that zone,,,

Statues-tatues-atues-tues-ues-es-s.

The first study is from a Botero statue. I always found Botero really interesting because of his view on the human form. While i was drawing this statue, I became really fascinated of how the proportions were " unnatural "compared to standard human anatomy in statues. I found incredible how Botero used " regular sized " models and then, change the proportions in the statues.... WOW that is awesome, because I think that it requires great knowledge on human anatomy in order to do that.
















The next study its a statue from my city, Mexico City, its called " Angel de la Indepencia ", which translates " the Angel Of Independance ". ........ mmmm I have to practice a little bit more my portraits.
Quick PHACT: although its in Mexico and it was ordered by a mexican president, the statue was made by an Italian.....

Los 500 mejores discos segun Rolling Stone

Cancion del momento: Cuco Valtierra y su Orquesta " As de Corazones "

No se que tan confiable sea una fuente de estas ( Rolling Stone ) a veces se siente que se estan llendo por el medio pseudo-cultural-chido, pero bueno, el caso es que tiene muy buenos discos los cuales si siento que tienen que estar ahi, pero hay otros que namas no, P.E el "Apetite for Destruction" de GNR, yo sin pedos lo cambiaria por el " Pauls Boutique" de los Beastie Boys lo bueno es que tienen casi todos los discos de los Beatles....

Ahi les va el link, diviertanse: The RS 500 Greatest Albums of All Time
