Life


Life, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

Illustration about Life, for the HungryforLines blog

Even where chaos and death seem to rule, life finds its way…
Brush, ink and digital colors.
Here is an image with the pencil stage and the final inks.
It's one of the most complex ink drawing i've made, but it was a fun challenge!

Take care!

Para ti, Mãe


Para ti, Mãe, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

This is the cover of my next book i illustrated,called "Para ti, Mãe", which can be translated as To you, Mother. Its written by Lurdes Breda and its a part of the colection Dia a Dia, of the publisher Gatafunho.
It's a book where poetry and illustration get together in images of tenderness…


Para ti, Mãe vem juntar-se ao Para ti, Pai e é o segundo título da coleção Dia a Dia, criada pela editora GATAfunho, com poemas de Lurdes Breda e ilustrações de André Caetano.
Com este título, a GATAfunho amplia a coleção Dia a Dia, que surgiu com o intuito de celebrar, no calendário, os dias que entendermos serem os mais especiais e que, no fundo, são para celebrarmos o ano inteiro. O próximo título celebrará o Dia Internacional da Amizade.
Para ti, Mãe é um livro onde a poesia e a ilustração se unem e se confundem em imagens de ternura.

HFL - Death

HFL - Death, originally uploaded by boredomsketch

This is my take on the Death theme.
It’s a cliché, but i really wanted to draw a skull, and explore a different approach, trying other materials.
So i made it with gouache, colorpencil, and a bit of digital linework and typo.
I'll soon post some photos of the original painting and some close ups.
