Lexicon

Lexicon, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

Book design, cover and illustration for the cover of Lexicon, a story written by Ricardo Namora.

The idea behind this cover is that, in the text, the reader as to see where the punctuation could be added, making the text and the characters.

Here's a photo with all the phases of this process.

The sketch…

Close up on the inks…

Made with brush and ink, on paper.

Take care, André

Wolverine FanArt

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

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,
André

Hello!

After a long time, i'm participating on Illustration Friday!
This week the theme was imperfect.
So after some doodling i realize that it could be read as i'mperfect, by adding the little symbol. And i also remembered of the ideal of beauty and perfection of greek civiization.

Here's a photo of my sketch!

Done with gouache and scanned!

Here are some close ups!

Hope you enjoy it!

Take care,
André!
