Who I am
My name is María José Galián Paramio and I am an illustrator.
I have published 8 picture books, some of them for children and some for adults. On this occasion I present my latest project, the 2022 Illustrated Calendar.
The calendar
This desk calendar contains an illustration for each month of the year.
From the beginning of this project, and after my last and colorful 2019 Calendar, (in 2020 I did not publish a calendar), I decided that basically, I was going to use the pencil to draw. My favorite technique is watercolor, but this time I decided to put it aside and glide over the sharp point of the black pencil. In this way I began to sketch the drawings, and after giving them shape in my notebook, I thought about the support where to start working on the final illustrations.
I remembered a beautiful handmade paper album that I bought some years ago in a bookbinding shop on my first trip to India. The size of the calendar fit perfectly with the pages of the Hindu album. Everything was going smoothly!
I started to draw among the petals and twigs that contained the album's leaves, so that it does not surprise you to "trip" over any of these irregularities on the paper.
You can see a short video of the creation process. I hope you like it!
