WIPs and Sketches #28

Hi everyone!! Again Paco from the past scheduling this message, since right now probably I'm at Anthro Northwest in Seattle, WA (Hopefully!)

Last month I attended a very small convention in Puebla, Mexico: Furcan.
I met many people and could hang with many awesome artists from Mexico who I could make some art trades and spend some time drawing with coffee and snacks. It was a really nice and relaxing time that I enjoyed a lot.

Also I could take some commissions I was working at...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Thank you so much for keep being with me in 2023, I really appreciate it. I'm so happy that I still see so many awesome furs from the very beginning I opened Patreon on 2016. It was precisely on January 2016, after had quit my job at the end of November 2015, that I was completely jobless all December 2015, and I heard many people recommending me to open a Patreon account and I was decided to do it a month later. I was completely afraid that I was not going to...

This year is almost over, Christmas is almost here (it is definitely here if you go out and see all the decorations everywhere!), and Paco didn't finish his queue, for more that he was advancing like crazy D:

Right now I'm not at home, I'm in my hometown at my parents' house, but with some friends, I'm showing them around where I grew up. I've been advancing work anyway, I can't give myself a break, actually I have 23 drawings ready to be posting all these days, one daily, so it will be...

This time I have too much to share!!

As most of you know, I attended Midwest Furfest, in Chicago, USA.
During my trip I got to do many drawings, including all these sketches with color I'm sharing with you this time. All this are drawings I haven't shared anywhere else so all of them are completely unpublished. I will be sharing them on internet in the upcoming days little by little (for some reason I don't like to share so many drawings publicly by once).

It was a very busy co...

Hi, my dear friends!

Here, Paco from the past, talking with all of you, people from the future, once again!

I'm writting this journal on November 21 (Koidel's birthday), because, if everything has been going well, right now, December 1st, I'm in Chicago for MFF, hope that's true! :D

Welcome to December, last month of the year and it is full with plans for me:
MFF, coming back and then a concert in my town, then taking some friends to my home town, I have planned so many c...

Hello my dear friends from this awesome Clubhouse!

I'm calmer now, of course I still have tons of things to do but I'm way calmer than the last post I wrote where I was incredibly tense for all the amount of work I was realizing I had. I still have lot but I'm going to be doing it eventually, I appreciate all your patience you have with me. I've seen there are very few artists who work as much as I do and that's not a good thing, I was surprised the last time that I was hanging with fri...

I don't know what happens with my time in general, I've been working a really lot lately, especially how many of my friends tell me not to work: overworking. After the Confuror time and not working for almost 2 months on my own projectes but focusing almost exclusively on Confuror, and then days before, during and after Confuror attending my guests... I had a really lot of accomulated work to do, these weeks I'm trying to catch up with everything, and for more that I'm advancing a really lot,...

November is here!

And again Paco from the past is talking with all of you! I'm writing this from October 14.

Hopefully, if everything is going according my plans, right now I'm taking my break time after many months working with no stop. In some days more I will resume my work and pay attention almost exclusively to Patreon rewards, that I still need to clear that promised queue!!!

Thank you very much for all your patience, you're the very best!!

Hope you al...

Best Comic of the Year at Golden Tail Awards

Definitely I want to write a journal about my experience at Confuror 2022, because I have so many good things to say about it and how it changed my life, and also how much I learned from this event.

It was an amazing event that I'm glad my anxiety didn't let me miss, I was about to have an anxiety attack before we traveled to the event.

But just quickly, I want to share with all of you this. My comic "Art & Biro" won an award as Best Comic of the Year. It was truly amazing, I ...

Hello!!

This is Paco from the past talking with all of you!
I'm writing this from October 14, hoping to keep updated with all of you my posts on Patreon. Right now very likely I'm at Confuror, if everything went according the plan, and I'm having a busy but great time there!

This time I'm sharing with you more updates of the painting I'm doing of this raccoon hero, very likely when you're reading this I already finished it, I will share it with all of you later when I'm back ho...

Confuror is almost here!! Also Halloween!!

I'm 95% done on my work for Confuror, it has been a very hard time but I can see a light in the end of the way, I'm pretty nervous about how it goes this event, we've been working for it, and it seems like it has happened so long, because indeed it happened a long! We had to wait 3 years to happen! I still remember the moment we were announcing the next event during closing ceremonies on 2019, and after that long is going to finally happen agai...

Confuror work is almost ready, and we're just some few days away that event!

Those who doesn't know, I'm staffing at Confuror, my local furry convention held in Guadalara, Jalisco, México. This year we're having more than 1,600 attendees so it will be very crazy! The theme for this year is Día de Muertos (Day of the dead) and we're setting a very beautiful convention!!!

I know I'm seeing some of you there, I can't wait :D

I'm trying to balance my work there with my work a...

I can see the end of this Confuror path, it has been a really lot of work helping at this convention in many departments, definitely I need to learn to delegate a lot of work to others. But this year I can say we had a really lot of help for this event.

I'm very happy that this month finally Confuror is happening, after 2 years having it in pause and only doing virtual events. I really want to see people again, to see again lots of furries in my local town. I'm very sure it w...

WIPs and Sketches #23

I haven't been able to advance many drawings this week, despite I'm working a really lot day and night. I really don't know where the time goes. 

But well, this time I'm bringing some WIPs that I think are very interesting to share.

The first one is from a drawing that I already posted, and I can show you the first composition I had sketched for it, but since the picture is planned to be printed, framed and hanged in a house, they were considering exactly a spot on landscape ...

I was supposed to post this 4 days ago, but I was terribly busy finishing the entire conbook for Confuror, but yay! Now the conbook is ready and I already sent to print the file! I really hope it is on time before the convention!! I still need to prepare tons of stuff that we need to print for that convention but are things that are very quick to print!

Well, this first half of the month I could share some pictures and I finished some few, I'm sorry for advancing really slow ...

WIPs and Sketches #22

Hello my dear Clubhouse friends!!

I'm trying to be as active as I can on galleries and social networks, but this has been a really busy time for me, and not precisely doing drawings, wish I could be drawing but I've been doing desk job lately, and now is when I appreciate waay more my decision of having quit my job 7 years ago (WOW already 7 years ago!!), because I really appreciate just be drawing and making people happy.
But now that I'm returning to do desk job for a short season ...

Europe, Kittens and Fursuits

When I write journals, I usually tell my experiences at furry conventions, but this time I didn’t go to a furry convention, I traveled to Berlin to visit a friend. Also I’m not so much of telling my vacations on public journals like this one, I indeed write personal journals, like diaries, just to keep track when exactly I did what, but I rarely share them on public, those are stories I want to keep for my own experience, for my friends, and, of course, for the people I got to share them ...

Hi again, my dear friends from the Clubhouse!

My sincere apologizes for being almost absent last month, I tried my best to be active on internet and update a little bit my galleries and Patreon, but it was very difficult, I was everywhere and I couldn't be for some moments sit down not even for checking my messages. Which was fun and full of new experiences that I really want to tell at some point, I haven't been able to, because as soon as I arrived back home I realized the ...

WIPs and Sketches #21

Yeah... I can't even tell what exactly is a Sketch anymore. While I was in Berlin, a friend from there requested me a "sketch" in his sketchbook, and I ended up doing something with color and background, that for me it was very simple.

Mainly because I consider my sketches just being a sketches are not good enough, and I enjoy a lot coloring drawings. 

But yes, I'm back home!! I'm sorry for leaving Patreon with so many weeks with a single post, but I can tell you all that I...

Hello my friends!!

This time I have 5 drawings in their respective full resolution version that I worked on them recently, I liked the result of them a lot, despite that for some reason Twitter is not super loving them as I thought, but anyway, those are only numbers, I shouldn't care too much about that!

In the following weeks I will barely share new work at all because all the works I've been working lately are to share way later, all of them are surprise f...

Well, most of the sketches and WIPs shown here are already posted, that's what I get for taking long to post this, hehe. Hope you appreciate to see my sketches from the complete illustrations that you may already saw in my networks.

Hello my dear family, all the members of the Clubhouse!

I really need to repeat and confirm that you are the most awesome people and furs I could have asked for. I really think that we can attract positive people in our lives and I'm so lucky to be achieving that part, and having all of you around.

Thanks for all your understanding about the recent decision I made about the rewards for Patreon (if you have no idea what I'm talking about, check this previous j...

Important about Patreon Rewards

No, don't worry, I'm NOT gonna change rewards again, that would be too soon and I really want to maintain rewards as they are. They will work perfectly according the plan if I ever clear my queue, and I have an idea for it.

This is regarding a problem I've been noticing with my queue and my totally lack of time that avoids me to not work a day of the week, and my stress if there is a day that I'm hanging with my friends and I'm not working, knowing that I have a long qu...

WIPs and Process Videos #19

Process Videos!!? What is that!?

Well, since I bought a new iPad Pro this month, I could notice a new feature that newer iPads can do with Procreate (My older iPad was from 2015, and I didn't stop using it until it was old enough), this feature, which is not new for many artists but it is for me, it is the possibility to record the whole process of a drawing, which was very cool!

So from now I can be sharing you some process that I do on drawings I do on my iPad. I'm kind of nervo...

Hello, my dear friends from the Clubhouse!!

I'm very happy to share with all of you 5 new drawings by me on their respective full resolution versions.

This time during this 15 first days of the month I could only complete submitting 4 new drawings, so for not sharing with all of you only 4 drawings, I'm adding a third one from 2013 that I hadn't shared here before. A very old commission I did with watercolors. I remember taking ages to complete that one.

WIPs and Sketches #18

Now I have many WIPs and sketches to show you!! 

First of all, now that I can finally share the illustration I did for BLFC, I can show you all the initial sketch, where you can see originally the mouse character was going to be male, but since I don't tend to draw many girls, I decided at the end to turn him in a girl. You can see also the initial color sketch of the scene, to have an idea how it was going to look before detailing it.

I also share you a WIP of a poster I did...

My Adventures at BLFC 2022

Biggest Little Fur Con 2022, my 6th BLFC, I’ve been attending every edition since 2016, and…despite I never like to compare one to another convention, or one to another edition, I try not to think which was better or the best… for sure that I can say that BLFC is my most favorite furry convention in the United States (I specify the country since my most favorite one is NordicFuzzCon, in Sweden). It is definitely a convention I never want to miss.

This year it brought me down the f...
