Day of Indigenous Resistance

in art •  6 years ago  (edited)

To remember is to live, where those caravels crossed the ocean in search of the Indians and came across what is today a savior, a land of grace. The encounter of two worlds. For better or worse, this event marked the history of humanity, between transculturation and the creation of a new culture.

Illustration on the occasion of the arrival of the Spanish invaders to what the aborigines called Abya yala which means "noble land that welcomes everyone" and "young land in full, which later would impose as name America.
The style of the art resembles as if it were a pen of ink or marker its measures are 800X800 px a quite comfortable measure for the format web - html.


Vector lines generated by the illustration. This is a good way to check if the digital drawing is handmade.

closed plan of the boats.


I leave you with what the composition process was. i don't usually do sketches, i just give free rein to imagination. maybe at some point i write key words to compose more efficiently.

The real meaning of this piece is a kind of mockery of the Spanish empire that imagined it would reach India, according to the calculations of Christopher Columbus would be reaching India and finally demonstrating that the earth was not flat. Imagine the Europeans in a supposed Middle Ages full of scientific advances, many believed that the earth was flat and claimed that the theories of Columbus and other navigators were absurd, some were hanged by heretics.

Thank you for appreciating, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

Here the phases of illustration


I began by illustrating the ships approaching as if they were the maritime horizon.

In this case it is a representation of Christopher Columbus writing in his navigator's logbook.
