I started this "creature" with a gorilla in mind, but at the end it was more like a lion. Some people told me , "this is a lion, no doubt about it." So what you guys think ? Lion ? Gorilla?

How I did "broken"

2005-11-04T20:31:00.000-08:00

I will talk here about the process I did for the creation of the "broken" illustration for the Illustration Friday. First I did some sketches with pen on paper, just to get an idea for the pose and character, then I went to draw direct in Illustrator ( with my mouse, although I have a tablet and mostly using the pen tool). As you can see I decided to change the design for the character and did way simpler shapes. After I was happy with the drawing I went to photoshop, and start playing with textures in different blend modes and did some brush work. On top are the two main textures I used, both from my personal pictures I took with my digital camera.

2005-08-30T06:17:00.000-07:00

I had no time on the last weeks to do any new illustration for the illustration friday, so I decided to post some of the illustrations I did during the last months.
The first one, I did with a marker on a napkin, scanned and played with the pic on Photoshop.
The others were done directly on illustrator without any previous sketch.

Ziraldo

2005-07-31T22:39:00.000-07:00

One of my favorites illustrator is the Brazilian Ziraldo. http://www.lambiek.net/ziraldo.htm
He did and still do everything from political cartoons, editorial illustrations, logos, theatre posters, comic strips and dozens of beautiful children books. Very prolific in all these areas but maintaining a very unique and recognizable style. He was one of the major voices agaisnt the military dictatorship in the 70s on the humorous periodical "Pasquin" ( that was full of great illustrations)
I can say I grown up seeing his illustrations and I remember reading his most famous book "menino maluquinho" over and over again when I was a child.
I was fortunate to meet and talk to him in more than one occasion ( he did the speech on my graduation) and he is such a passionate and inspiring guy that after you talk to him you just want to seat down and draw...draw..draw..

I will try to scan other of his illustrations from my book collection. and post here

Aging - for Illustration Friday

2005-07-31T19:32:00.000-07:00

This is my first illustration for the http://www.illustrationfriday.com/ , and the first one for this blog. I had fun doing it.
