Cadavre Exquis number 35

, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

Hello everyone!

This is my participation on Daniel Maia's Project called Cadavre Exquis.
The way it works the story is being told a page at a time, by a different author, which can choose how he's going to continue the story.

So this is my take on it, made with brush and ink, on paper, and the grey tones were done digitally, as well as the typography.

read the story here, cc-cadavreexquis.blogspot.com/
And my part here, cc-cadavreexquis.blogspot.com/2009/11/35-prancha.html
Hope you enjoy it!

IF - Unfold

IF - Unfold, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.

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.
The texture can be download from here, www.bittbox.com/freebies/free-high-res-texture-pack-the-a...

A late night experience, an afternoon photograph
And great fun!
As it shows on the photo, i've used Van gogh watercolors, bic cristal pen, and watercolor soluble pencils from Caran d'ache, and a sable brush.
I've drawn first with the bic pen, then i've colored it with the watercolors, and finally i've redrawn some line with the pencils.

Em conjunto com a Casa dos Açores e a Associação dos Amigos dos Animais de Santo Tirso, estou a desenhar os animais domésticos de quem quiser, cobrando 20 euros pelo desenho, parte do valor indo para a associação, para a ajudar.
A colaboração com eles foi iniciada no dia, durante a inauguração.
Cujo exemplos, já podem ver no meu set do flickr :

I really liked the vague look of this character. What could he be thinking? What stories could he tell? Maybe i'll find out in the next sketch :)

Just a nice afternoon sketching on my moleskine, the one with black softcover, 13x21cm.
It was a very spontaneous drawing, where i was reacting to what the pencil was making on the paper and seeing what it would be fun to do. After the drawing i added a little detail in watercolor and the light parts in white gouache.
And i enjoyed a lot!

Little Red Riding Hood

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!
