Uninspired
Originally uploaded by boredomsketch
It happens, a lot times, but we gotta be able to beat it!
And do something to win the lack of ideas.
Go skate or take a walk in coimbra's downtown ares some of the ways i find that usually works for me. ( not allways)
For some, they await patiently for the muse of the almighty inspiration to come. :P
Totally digital, done in Corel Painter IX and wacom =)
Illustration Friday - Suit
Originally uploaded by boredomsketch
Well, i admit, this time originality was not the qualitty of my illo, :P
It's me on a suit, with a skateboard with some tapes.
It was for my degree's book, where most of the students who are finnishing the degree, make or have made their caricature.
So this is a self caricature.
Unlocked
Originally uploaded by boredomsketch
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!
Illustration Friday - Red
Originally uploaded by boredomsketch.
I did this after watching a video about Carson Ellis on youtube.
I adore her drawings for The Decemberists. with the portraits of the band with cool frames around them.
So the face of this drawing is based on her face and her work.
I could said it was a portrait of her but some things are not exactly like her.
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.

Illustration Friday
Originally uploaded by boredomsketch.
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! :)
Illustration Friday - Change
Originally uploaded by boredomsketch.
i've changed my aproach, i lustrate in another way.
I've tried to visualize with help of typography, the concept of change. The word "change" is constantly changing, with different types to every letter.
Because people change, time change, type change, so why not change my aproach? :P
farm

This week topic is farm.
So my take on this was that, i have a little "farm" in my work dedicated to illustration friday. It's like a plant that i feed with IF topics, on the pic is water.
The plant gives illustrations, because that is what i give to IF. An illustration participation :)
Hope you enjoy it! i had loads of fun doing it, so here it is. Done using corel painter, photoshop and wacom. But first of all, i drew it using a ballpoint pen on paper.
some close ups, first one , second one

Participation on this week topic.
When i draw, i go to other worlds, other dreams and stay away from this reality, safe from all the dangers :)
i did try to give the idea that he is on a sort of a booble that keeps it safe. well maybe it doesnt work quiet well : / awaiting your opinion while i go to sleep, ahaha :)

Illustration Friday - Run

Kids are lot scary in some movies :)

Hope you 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

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
Ilustration Friday
Originally uploaded by boredomsketch.
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.
