What shall i draw for you?, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

What shall i draw for you?

Is a warmup drawing i did before inking other illustrations for books…but i liked it and wanted to share with you.
Maybe it's about some aspects of the work of an illustrator…
I try to not think too much in these drawings, letting my lines go free.

Drawn with a loose pencil on paper, and inked with a beatiful brush with black indian ink.

This is the drawing after the inks.

Enjoy!

4º Encontro Nacional de Ilustração - Illustrated report!

2011-11-01T17:12:00.001Z

4º Encontro de Ilustração, a set on Flickr.

Partilho com vocês a minha "reportagem ilustrada" do 4º Encontro de Ilustração que decorreu em São João da Madeira, relatada num Moleskine Watercolor Notebook, small size, com três Waterbrushes da Pentel, uma com tinta-da-china, outra com Ecoline Ocre, e outra com àgua. A que tinha ecoline usei quase em exclusivo a partir das primeiras páginas e devo dizer que me agrada bastante só o traço assim, fica com um ar mais leve!
Também usei um lápis mágico e aguarelas em stick para os desenhos do concerto!

O mini chapéu foi uma das inúmeras ofertas aos ilustradores neste encontro e apenas posso dizer que foi um evento de se TIRAR O CHAPÉU e que espero que possa voltar à 5ª edição!

I'm sharing with you my "illustrated report" of the 4º Encontro nacional de Ilustração taht took place in São João da Madeira, made in a Moleskine Watercolor Notebook, small size, with three Waterbrushes from Pentel, one with indian ink, other with ocre Ecoline, and another with water. I did enjoy using the ecoline, it gives the lines a lighter look that with indian ink! And it plays well with the color of the paper. The mini hat was one of the presents that were given to the Illustrators in an event of TAKING THE HAT OFF, and that i hope i can return to the 5th edition!These are the thumbs, and by cliking it you can see all of them in a bigger size!Take care,André

Wolverine FanArt

2011-10-01T14:07:00.000+01:00

Hello!

I had the pleasure to participate once again in the collective blog, Fistful Of Fanart, and this time the illustrator before me, drew the Incredible Hulk! and it looked really angry!

So i had several ideas and tried several characters, until i remembered of Wolverine, which i am a fan, and have several books. These are some of my references for this piece.

Wolverine Netsuke, by George Pratt
Wolverine issues published by Devir
Mesmo Delivery by Rafael Grampá

So i started doing some sketches of Wolverine, and here are some of them:

The one in the lower left corner is a ink drawing i did almost a year ago, and i remembered seeing it, when i was organizing my sketchbooks.

After many sketches i decided on the pose and all and drew it, scanned and composed it on Photoshop.

Finally, after having the background and wolverine, i inked the pencils with a brush.

To end this long post, i leave you with some close ups on the inks!

Hope you enjoy it!Take care!André

The Killer, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

The illustration says it all,(click to see bigger please!) but yesterday i've received Imagine FX, with a dvd.
It had Art Rage demo, which i was curioous to try!
So i started experimenting it, the tools and all, and i really liked the pencil tool and the ink pen tool.
I've used an imac 24'' with a wacom intuos4 L and its pen and my right hand :P
This is what i got from it, a sort of sad vampire i guess? I'll leave it to you to imagine what ventures he may had!

Here's a process gif!
First the blank page, then the pencils, inks and colors, like i would do traditionally.

Take care,

Spontaneous Drawing

2011-09-21T20:26:00.001+01:00

Spontaneous Drawing, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

Drawing made with brush pen on Moleskine Sketchbook.

Made directly on paper, no planning, just watching what as on paper and going with it. It was a nice break of the works i was doing, the drawing took something like 5 minutes ( i was not counting but it was not long).

Break from drawing with a drawing? Oh yeah! :D

Just for curiosity, here's the order i've done this drawing:
The character head, clothes, hands, skethcbook, speech balloons, table, cups and objects on it, chairs, window, and added litle touches here and there, like texture on the wall and jacket, and finally the sentences on the page, and signature and date!

In case of my caligraphy is not too clear, here's what i wrote:
The character says:
I've been drawn with a brush pen, withh no sketch.
And it was fun!

Under the window:
This view is from my studio

Next to the table:
I don't have a table like this, but it seemed cool for the character.

Hope you enjoy it!Take care,André

Hello!

After a long time, i'm participating on Illustration Friday!

Here's a photo of my sketch!

Done with gouache and scanned!

Here are some close ups!

Hope you enjoy it!

Ride Me!, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

This week, for my participation on HungryForLines blog, http://hungryforlines.com/2011/05/06/ride-2/, i tried a different technique. I used monotyping prints, which consists on painting on a glass and then putting a paper on it, pressing it against, making a unique print. I did many of them, with oils and then linotype based water, but this was the best.
Hope you enjoy it.

Poster design and Illustration for the play "Que o Diabo Seja Cego, Surdo e Mudo", performed by the students at ESEC University, in Teatrao Theatre.
I had to follow Teatrão's Graphic style, so the illustration was the part which allowed me more freedom.
I made the illustration with brush and ink on paper, scanned it, and colored it digitally.

Here are the printed goodies!

Deadline, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

Hello!

This is my take on Deadline theme. My idea was using a symbol of time, but one that doesn’t comeback, often used in games, like pictionary.
After some drawing i arrived at a thumb that i liked, and quickly did a sketch on my sketchbook.

After a quick pencil drawin, i inked it with a brush.

Scanned it, and added the type digitally.
Here are some close ups to the drawing.

Mystery, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

Hello!
This is my take on Mystery, this week theme on hungryforlines blog, http://www.hungryforlines.com

I had the idea after i read the definition in the dictionary, specially with the word mýstes, the one that closes, the one who keeps secret.
We all have our mysteries, either to find or to be found.

I started with some sketches, figuring out if my idea as interesting as it seems in my head.

After this quick sketches, i started drawing, with pencil on a A4 paper and after that inked the drawing with a brush.
Below, some photos of the drawing and close ups.

After the ink i did slight changes in the digital realms, adding a lock in the heart as well.

Take care,

The Ink Forest, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

Hello!

This is my take on the landscape theme.
While thinking on what i would like to aproach, two things came to my mind. Trees and ink, :D.
And after a few thumbs i remembered the exhibition of Mattoti i had seen in Bologna, while visiting the Children's Book Fair. You can take a look at him, drawing and talking about it, here.

So after watching it, i just wanted to dive in the ink and draw!
I did a quick pencil sketch for composition purposes.

After that it was all ink and watching what happened in the paper.

And now some closeups!

Take care,
André

Hello!

This is my first work for the collective blog called Hungry For Lines.
Each week we have a theme to work on, possibly a suggestion from one of the blog visitors.
With this weekly theme we will provide 6 posts.
Each of these posts will provide a creative insight of the theme.
This creative insight may be in the form of drawing, painting, design… Well however we want!

Like the illustration says, drawing is a genuine happiness maker, at least for me!
Initially the ideia was just a mad hungry artist, but when i was drawing the sketch to test my idea, a lot of ideas came up, and even in the inking stage. This made me to add lots of little details, like the posters, and icons on the chairs.

This is the sketch, next to the final drawing.

In the end i had a "drawingholic place", hehe.
Done with pencil, inked with a brush, on a A3 paper.

Marvel Medusa Fanart, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

My participation on Ricardo Venâncio's project Fist Full Of FanArt.
In this project, every new post must be connect with the one before.
So i did some research about the Super Skrull that Pedro Poitier did.
I choose to draw Medusa, Queen of the Inhumans, which also created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Besides that, Inhumans and Skrulls had also a recent "entanglement" on Secret Invasion.

After my research i did a few sketches and i finally arrived at an idea that i liked.

After that, i pencilled the drawings, medusa, and a smaller one with the Skrull being slapped by Medusa's hair. I used a brush to ink them both.

Here are some close ups.

After that, i scanned the drawings and colored it digitally.

Thanks to Ricardo Venâncio for inviting me, and to my friend André De Lima Carvalho, for the advises and knowledge of Medusa character :)

Take care,

Um desenho por dia…

2010-10-06T19:04:00.006+01:00

Hello!

I've participated on Zona Gráfica volume 1, which was presented on the Beja's International Comic Book Festival.

It's a very short story, 2 page only, made with brush and ink, on a A3 paper.
I did the washes directly on the inks. :)

I made it like it was a comercial, about how good a drawing every day does to you, :P

Here are some detail shots, of the book and the drawings.

Here's the link to ZonaBd blog, zonabd.blogspot.com/

Poster design and Illustration for the play "Arlequim, Servidor de Dois Amos", performed by the students at ESEC University, in Teatrao Theatre.
I had to follow Teatrão's Graphic style, so the illustration was the part where i had more freedom.
I made the illustration with brush and ink on paper, scanned it, and colored it digitally.
For more info on the play, but in Portuguese, go here, http://oteatrao.blogspot.com/2010/06/dois-casais-de-enamorados-lutam-pelo.html

God?

2010-07-10T18:40:00.004+01:00

God?, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

I was interviewed by Eloísa for TugaMagazine and she challenged me to draw a portrait of God.
I have to say it was a hard one, because i only had a few hours, but i had a lot of fun with it.
I used watercolors, no sketching at all, because the medium allowed me to discover shapes without controlling too much. After a few washes, i painted gouache over the watercolors and finally scanned it and added a few color corrections and that was it.

Thank you Eloísa! You can read the interview she made, but only in portuguese, here, http://tugamagazine.deviantart.com/blog/33445552/
Here are some photos of my table where i was working.

On the left side of the photo you can see the plate where i mixed my watercolors, and on the right side, my palete for gouaches. I've used Winsor and Newton watercolors, Carand d'ache gouaches, painted with Winsor & Newton Cotman series, and the brush on top of the sketchbook is a sable hair brush, but it doesn't have a brand.
Finally, the paper is a Canson watercolor Sketchbook, 300gr.
And now a close ups on the painting.

Now i want to paint more Gods!

I hope you enjoy it and i'll waiting your opinions and critiques!

A Naifa in Coimbra, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

On May 27th, i went to A Naifa's concert, in Oficina Municipal do Teatro, Coimbra.
Link to their blog
The show was amazing, and by the third song i was drawing it.
Even with very few light to see what i was doing, i went for it, and tried to capture what i was seeing. And it was great!
Even more lucky i felt when i shared the drawings with the band members! Who liked a lot and said that it was the first time they have seen drawings of them playing.
It was a very cool night, and you can see the drawings clicking on the images above, that links to the set in Flickr.
For the tech details, i drew with a Pentel waterbrush,filled with Winsor&Newton black ink on a Moleskine Plain Soft Notebook - Large sketchbook.

Hope you enjoy it, and if you also draw, maybe you feel inspired to try the same.

Take care!!

Here's the link to the Scholarship rules and terms, http://www.cm-montemorvelho.pt/editais_2010/bolsas_merito_artistico_area_musica.htm

The illustration was made with brush and ink, drawn directly, and then colored digitally. I started with the inks but still hadn't got a clear ideia for the colors, but started playing around and exploring things and got to final result.
I believe it's a bit different from what i've done so far.

But what i am most happy about it's the concept behind it.
It's a scholarship for music. And i choosed to draw the public, and the reward that a good work, or a god concert has, which are the clapping of the hands.
Any type of music, people or genre can be visualized, it's up to the reader to imagine that.

:) Take care,

This is my participation on Daniel Maia's Project called Cadavre Exquis.

I've unfolded this little zombie from my darkside :D , heheh, and when the IF topic got out, i already had the drawing started.
So i decided to go with it and try to do something a little different and experiment!
I started by drawing with a quill pen and ink, very loose and spontaneous. After that i've colored it using watercolors, colored pencils, and scanned it.
The size of the paper it's an a6 sketchbook i'm using now.
Which by itself it's a different journey.
Digitally i've added the texture which already had the ornaments.

And i enjoyed a lot!

Little Red Riding Hood

2007-09-25T17:03:00.001+01:00

Hello everyone!

I did these three illustration to a Children Illustration contest that happens every two years in Barreiro,Portugal.
You can check the winners here, blog
oficial site
They are from the story of the Little Red Riding Hood.
The first one is when she´s leaving her home, going to her grandmother's house.
Her mother is warning her about the wolf.
The second one is when she meets the wolf and he's able to mislead her, and she's going to pick some flowers, giving the wolf some advantage on the way to grandmother's.
In this one i remembered the Magritte's painting where an horseman it's in the florest and thought it would be a nice way to show the wolf in this case.
here's a link to the painting,
http://immerseyoursoulinlove.files....57-magritte.jpg
The final one is when the wolf already at grandmother's house and the little girl is entering the house, without knowing that the wolf is there. I've tried to tell the reader that he's there, trying not be literal doing so.

I want to improve if possible, them so im putting them here to your apreciation and critique.
So please do so and i hope you enjoy them!

Thanks!

This is a personal work.

It started as a small sketch, and over two months, not on a daily basis i've working on this pic.
I have never spent so much time on a digital painting and now i feel it really worth the effort.
My idea regarding this work was to try to visualize somehow how a person's "heart" can be unlocked and the wounds that other relationships created are healed.
The tatoos on her are to remind her of something that she might have learned with other relations.
The rockabilly style on the tatoos are just because i really like the kind of tatoos and i guess they suit the purpose.
Watching Shawn Barber's work regarding tatoos are also the reason behind this work.
It was done using Corel Painter IX initially and then i switched to the X version wich helped me a lot blending the colors because of the real bristle feature.
The arm and the hand holding the key were really hard to got it righ (i still not happy with it).

I loved the time i spent doing it and had a lot a lot of fun.
And i hope you enjoy it too!

Well hope you enjoy my lttle red girl, which was done with a 2b pencil, plus a red and ocre color pencil's on my moleskine sketchbook. I was looking for a sort of old, yellowish paper, and that kind of paper works, i guess.

This week topic is phobia.
So my take was not to show a phobia but try to interpret what it is and what it does to a people with a phobia.
It's a fear that is extreme and let's the person helpless.
I edited the drawing so it's more clear that the person on the drawing is naked so it seems more fragile.
Phoibia it's also a fear that borns and grows in our head, in our mind. And it does not gives us good thing so it's a dead tree growing in his head, with no fruits or leafs to give.
Enjoy it! :)

Match
Originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

My take on Illustration Friday topic, Match.
It was done long time ago, using freehand mx. So it's a re-use of an illustration i've done just for fun.
The idea behind is in fact to illustrate a match, the spider is the judge, an the little dragons are batling each other.
You can make many interpretation of it, although the story i though that could be the base for this is to think that the judge can be an old teacher from a univ, or an old judge on a contest who has in his webs a lot of knowledge, won in many battles, doing ilustration or design, battling tough clients .
And the little dragons are just little designers, just graduate and they are trying to match it up! :P

Well first of all i'm sorry for my mistake in the topic, i've just missed the capture topic.
I will illustrate play and then i'll put it here.
lustration for IF (illustration friday)
It's my serious attempt so far at portraiting Bettie Page, the Queen of pinups :D
done totally digitally :)

My aproach was to put a person who's work is to be captured on photos without no one to do that :P

This week theme is "clean".
So my interpretation was to draw miss Clean :D
My photobase was Evelyn West, no special reason for that, just browsing my photobase gallery and started sketching,then the ideia popped up :)
I've drawn the lady with ballpoint pen on my sketcbook, then gone wild with some brushes from Eduardo Recife from Misprintedtype, Misprintedtype
His work was a big influence, and i gave my work a more dirtier look.
