Traditional art by Fabiola Vargas

This is a Slideshow of my art made with traditional tools like watercolors, Color pencils, ink, tempera, oils and acrylics.

I'm a self taught artist from Costa Rica and my inspiration has always been music, nature books and Ancient Cultures. I'm in the process of illustrating a Fantasy book that will be ready around May of this year.
I´ve participated in a few festivals in Europe, including Trolls et Legendes in Belgium, Burgfolk with the help of Faun, in Germany, Castlefest in Netherlands, FanCon and Les Anthinoises in Belgium this year and Festival Celta in Costa Rica.

In this slideshow i asked permission to one of my favorite Bands, the Neoceltic Pagan folk Band "Omnia", if you can, please check their site and myspace, they make amazing and original music and are very talented, and they have pretty strong and positive ideals that make this band unique, spreading a wonderful message.

You have a beautiful vision and excellent technique. It's inspiring: so much so that I feel like drawing again. I also like the way that you have combined your initials to make a rune in the Tolkien fashion. Lovely work, without being cloyingly sweet or sickeningly twee, as these subjects so often are.

@darkallegiance666 Thank you so much, it´s odd, but i cannot decide....drawing fairies and cute little things or more dark fantasy, i guess i will have to find a way to do both. I see this clip and now i feel the art in it to be kinda old, i´ve been working all these years to improve but somehow got lost in photography and singing, i need to find more time to sit and draw again and get into the subjects i really like. I love fantasy but there is so much to it than i have done previously.

★★★★★ Once again, I am blown away at he amazing color combinations you achieve, such rich and vivid colors to create the most fantastic places... I love taking my mind through your art! Those enchanting forests you create soothes my soul, it allows me to escape from this modern world! There is one scene in this video at 1:37 that I love... I would love to buy a print for my wall... it is amazing! Thanks again for sharing your creativity and talent... wow!

@Fabinesss An artist is always evolving, though. Perhaps these new projects are part of your path and will lead to you enhancing your vision even further - after all, nothing that you learn is ever really lost.

Thank you so much :D

I use Watercolors, prismacolor pencils and markers, ink and sometimes acrylic or tempera for highlights. I ink the drawings with a bamboo quill and Chinese ink, very fun to do. i can't draw a lot of things, i help myself with pictures sometimes as reference, wich is good to learn. But i try to work more with my imagination, that way i can create my own style and keep a basic line when drawing anatomy. Thanks for the comment1 i'm looking at your art now!

Great stuff!!! Awesome colors and great original ideas!! What do you do these with, Colored pencils? Water colors? I wish I could do more drawings from the imagination like you, but I pretty much can't draw unless I have a photo to work from. I use prismacolor art pencils. Do you ever use them? Anyway, love your work.
