How are you doing?
I wasn’t sure if I should post something or not. Sometimes I want to use this blog in a casual way, other times I want it to be more professional but professional posts take a long time to write. That’s why, I decided to let myself not to post during this month — Thank you Paola 😌 — and noticed a couple of things:

That’s how my morning almost started.
I was looking into the Elements of Art – you know me 🧐 lol – which I didn’t know existed, then finding about Elements of Design and finally wondering then what are Art Fundamentals, What’s the difference🤔…then BOOM the thought: Why Doraemon is so famous? hahaha Do you know about Doraemon? maybe not. I love Japanese culture so I usually see this pretty blue cat around and I don’t know why he is so famous.
Continue reading “Who’s Doraemon? 🤨”Wow, I have been away for a month, It’s hard to believe but it was necessary, one because I got sick for almost that whole month and two because I was deeply doubting my interest for drawing which has happened to me a couple of times. I really needed to rest and have a space of not drawing.
Continue reading “I’m back 😷”Hi from the airport 👋. This week we have been planning for our almost one month trip to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 so I didn’t planned any posts but I decided to say hi while waiting.

For a long time I have wanted to share my stories but I didn’t know how.
Last week, I tried with a stories widget in the sidebar of this blog and another stories widget on a page but it wasn’t as effective as I wanted, I was looking for something more organic and easy to share so after lots of thinking I decided to make my instagram account public to share my day to day behind the scenes (well Monday through Friday). Oops, then every business day to day behind the scenes 😋.
To go to my instagram account just click on the logo down below 👇
Have a relaxing weekend! (an advice that I’ll take myself).
Love,
Paola
In middle school I used to spend my evenings drawing images of Sailor Moon, it made me feel so relaxed and happy that I just wanted to do it forever. When I went to high school I met this girl that was very good at drawing. One day she lent me one of her sketches which I immediately tried to replicate and I couldn’t. Her drawing was right there in front of me yet as much as I tried to follow the lines and angles I just couldn’t, I never did. This was when I ruled out drawing as a profession. Since if we were still in high school and she was already so talented obviously I wasn’t going to be able to draw to her level, she was talented and I wasn’t.
Continue reading “My path from engineer 👷♀️ to illustrator 👩🎨”I had this huge post scheduled in my mind for today, I started researching and writing since last Friday but it was yesterday 9 pm and I couldn’t write it, something was off. After talking with my husband I realized that what I was trying to express wasn’t clear and that writing this post was going to take longer than I thought 🤷♀️. I couldn’t break my own commitment nor could I just write whatever thing came to my mind and post it. I felt it had to be something academic, groundbreaking, long and with lots of research 🤓.
Continue reading “Learning to be kind to myself”Last Saturday we had Three kings bread:
This is a bread that I used to share with my family back in Mexico every January 6th. The tradition says that if you get a baby Jesus in the piece that you cut for yourself you have to buy tamales 🫔 on February 2nd or Dia de la Candelaria.
Continue reading “Rosca de reyes | Three kings bread”I think it was last year when I wrote a note to myself to share this finding about what it was Shorthand Writing and I just let it sit there for a year 🙈 it´s kind of embarrassing to accept it but this is what usually happens. The worst part (in my head at least) is that it was just something so short that I could have just shared it in a couple of minutes but I decided to let it sit there for a while, maybe notes are like a wine 🍷 and I’m just noticing now.
