Día del pisco sour

Pisco sour day. As usual, this is one of my favorite dates, and this year I patiently drunk even more than in 2010. Nothing can be more classic and popular than pisco sour, which is why I highly recommend all of you to grab a bottle or two in your next visit to Peru.


And following the dictates of my consciousness I decided to draw the spirit behind the spirits, my first idea was to have the character dragging a carriage full of pisco bottles, but I realized it would be too hard to draw all those tiny little labels for the bottles, so I decided to leave it all as it is. Chinese ink over a 2B pencil.

Es una de mis fechas preferidas, y este año me encargué pacientemente de tomar incluso más pisco sours que en el 2010. La bebida bandera siempre se ha prestado para una magnífica gama de cócteles, y entre ellos el más clásico y conocido es el pisco sour.


Y sin motivo aparente decidí dibujar al espíritu detrás de la bebida espirituosa por excelencia, mi intención era que cargase un carruaje lleno de botellas de pisco pero me di cuenta que sería muy difícil ponerme a dibujar las etiquetas de las botellas con la bendita plumilla así es que decidí dejar el dibujo a la mitad. Entintado con plumilla sobre dibujo a lápiz 2B.

  5. Nothing to feel guilty about, Mr. Covalesky.

    I know of far more shameful vices.
