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.
Take care,
André
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,
André
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.

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,
André

I did this drawing after watching a documentary on Picasso, called "Picasso, The Full Story.
I visited his museum late september this year, when i was in Barcelona, and i was very happy to be able to see again his works. I say again because i did go to Barcelona 10 years ago. But now i saw it with "other eyes".
Here are sone closeups,
It was made on my moleskine with a waterbrush pen, with ink, and two copic markers, which i recently got to try.
Hope you enjoy it! :)
Oh i really recommend the documentary!

Double spread illustration for the issue #10 of the great Göoo Magazine.
“We seek to create a circus built by the different acts of life, based on that happy decay which make us laugh instead of crying, dazzle and frighten us with fantastic characters and situations from the everyday circus of the imaginary.”
