Update, mermaid art sneak preview and radio shows

Hi everyone! Yes, I have been away, working on illustrations and some 3d models too. My old mouse is broken so I am using my wacom tablet and cordless mouse all the time. I love this tablet, it saves my hand from having carpal tunnel problems, plus it is so comfortable to work with! I just downloaded the newest version of winamp. I am enjoying a lot of my favorite techno and videogame and anime songs as I work. For all the fans who asked by email, I love listening to techno music while I work, mailnly of DJ Sasha, Paul Van Dyk and the Namco sound team. You guys are amazing! One of these days I will collect every album and track you create! :) I also love good videogame and anime music. When I am not listening to music, I listen to my favorite talk shows:
thedrpatshow.com which keeps me in a positive mood all day while I work on illustrations and creating art nonstop, plus I love learning new things while i work. I can multitask. :)
Newsforthesoul.com I have been listening to Nicole for over six years. I love the guests and the paranormal stuff. Very interesting shows!
Thewonders.com This show is great for all of you who always wanted to know who you really are, and try to find answers to difficult and interesting questions. To my new fans, hello! It is very nice to meet you all :). To those who like to learn to draw from my art, thank you so much for your messages! I am so proud of you! Keep on drawing! Draw the things that bring you joy! Keep practicing so you can become your best! Here is a sneak preview of what I am working on now:
New Egyptian Cobra Queen:
In the inking stages. It was inked with koh-I-noor inking pens on bristol board, 14 by 17 inches in size. It is my new work in progress.
Kimono girl:
I had an idea for a cute girl dressed in a lovely kimono, full with flowers and beautiful designs. I imagine her kimono to be filled with beautiful colors. This one is also a work in progress.

Egyptian Queen mermaid preview 2

Hi everyone!

Just showing you another sneak preview of my Egyptian Queen mermaid, finally inked and with hieroglyphs added. Inking took me over five hours, this was a bigger piece, 11 by 17 inches in size. I used a sakura micron pen to ink this painting. Lately I have been doing a lot of research on Ancient Egypt, which has inspired me to create this piece. I always had a fascination with the mysteries of Ancient Egypt, pyramids and hieroglyphs. The more information I find, the more I am interested in this culture. Enjoy the preview, as I must get back to the drawing board, to finish other illustrations.

Have a great day!

~Elisa :)

Wishing you a happy earth day!

Hi everyone! Just wishing everyone a happy earth day. Sofi is going green today! :) I am also doing my part, by saving energy and recycling and reusing paper. I don't like to waste paper, so I am very careful at reusing and saving paper for my drawing projects, so I don't throw away good paper. I like recycling paper that I used for sketches. I was also doing some research on green auras today, since I have been very attracted to the color green lately. I have been wearing green clothes too. Apple green looks great on me. :) From what I researched, the color green symbolizes balance, harmony and peace. That is how I am feeling at the moment. The color green shows us that if we let our feelings and emotions out, we can achieve balance and harmony. If we bottle our feelings inside, we will just create problems in our life. Bottled emotional energy will be stuck in our bodies, turn negative and deplete us of our life energy. I love seeing all the greens in my garden and the beautiful blooming flowers. It always brings me a lot of peace and relaxation. It also helps bring out my creativity and gives me ideas for my next projects. I always love to draw flowers in many of the paintings I create. I love painting flowers, and also, I love drawing roses the most. My creative side is having fun today. To add to the going green theme, besides wearing green today, I am having green tea and cooking green foods, such as salads and stir frys. I am also going to do a painting in soothing greens later. My green drink recipe of the day: Iced green milk tea Mix freshly brewed green tea with sugar or honey to taste. Pour into a tall glass with ice cubes, filling it half ways. Top with half and half or milk. Stir and enjoy. :) I have been painting by candlelight lately. It saves on energy and also adds a distinctive touch to my watercolored paintings. This is going to be fun. An idea to draw a green tailed mermaid has just popped into my head. Off to the drawing board I go! I will see you all later! ~Elisa :)

Peach blossoms and my kitty cat

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share pics of my peach tree in full blossom! Seeing the pink blooms all over the tree always brings a smile to my face, as I know spring has arrived! :) I can't wait to paint them and paint faeries hiding in the peach lossoms with my watercolors! :) The flowers are so delicate and pink, they are making my garden look so beautiful with all of the blooming flowers! My roses are starting to bloom as well. And here are photos of my kitty cat, Somyu walking among the green foliage... She is having too much fun walking in the garden! I am taking a quick break from painting, to enjoy viewing the flowers in my garden as well as thinking up of some new and delicious recipes for my site. Have a great day and see you all soon! ~Elisa :)

Update!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to wish you all a happy Easter. I have been busy working on many illustrations, and finishing up a few new paintings. The belly dancer mermaid in the rose garden has been finished, after a small delay, due to my busy life but she has been fully painted! and I will be posting her soon. Here is a quick preview of another large painting, 11 by 14 inches in size, of an Egyptian Queen Mermaid! I am still in the process of inking her, using sakura micron inking pens, and I will be adding hieroglyphs to this painting as well. I have always been inspired by the mystery of ancient Egyptian culture. I am fascinated with the secrets of the pyramids and hieroglyphs. I am also taking some time off from painting this month to experiment with international cooking recipes. Cooking is one of my other passions besides painting with watercolors. I hope everyone enjoys some good chocolate! I will talk to you all soon! ~Sofi! :D

It is a big and beautiful painting, with lots of details. Sketching and inking this painting took more than ten hours, and I am not finished yet! It is a work in progress. I was inspired by my passion for dance, which includes belly dancing. :) This painting shows a beautiful belly dancing mermaid, with a lovely pink fish tail, who loves to spend time in her beautiful rose garden in the depths of the crystal blue seas. She loves to wear a jingly golden coins belt and many different types of golden jewerly, covered with colorful precious stones all over her body. She is holding a beautiful blooming pink rose in her hand, and has a smile on her face, as she is very happy to see so many roses! Rose Garden belly Dancing Mermaid: Here is a close up: I am also working on a few digital art projects with my wacom tablet, so I am finishing this illustration when I have some free time from my other projects.
