These are some drawings made during my stay in Marvão, with the writter Lurdes Breda. We were invited by the Biblioteca Escolar de Marvão to talk about our books, and our jobs.
Here's a video of me drawing for the children, that were trying to guess what i was drawing!

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/
And to some photos of the book, http://zonabd.blogspot.com/2010/05/zona-grafica-volume-1.html
All the best,
André

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
And now some little details of the process.
To start, the Thumbnail of for the Illustration.
Now the final drawing and inked drawing.
Some closeups on the drawing.
And finally, all the elements of this project.
The thumbnail, the inked drawing, the printed poster and flyer.
Hope you enjoy my little talk about my process.

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!
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.

Poster for a music Scholarship, given by Câmara Municipal de Montemor-o-Velho.
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,
André

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!
