Ride Me!, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.
This week, for my participation on HungryForLines blog, http://hungryforlines.com/2011/05/06/ride-2/, i tried a different technique. I used monotyping prints, which consists on painting on a glass and then putting a paper on it, pressing it against, making a unique print. I did many of them, with oils and then linotype based water, but this was the best.
Hope you enjoy it.

Illustration about Life, for the HungryforLines blog
Even where chaos and death seem to rule, life finds its way…
Brush, ink and digital colors.
Here is an image with the pencil stage and the final inks.
It's one of the most complex ink drawing i've made, but it was a fun challenge!
Take care!

This is my take on the Death theme.
It’s a cliché, but i really wanted to draw a skull, and explore a different approach, trying other materials.
So i made it with gouache, colorpencil, and a bit of digital linework and typo.
I'll soon post some photos of the original painting and some close ups.

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.
