Get Ready...

Howdy folks!
Quick digital painting done this afternoon.
Thanks for stopping by.

Just 4 Fun

The title says it all.
The newspaper texture was added digitally.
I wanted to cut some newspaper and paste it over the sketch but I was just so darn lazy today...
Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Holidays!

Howdy folks!
Just stopped by to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This quick digital sketch was done yesterday afternoon in order to celebrate the holiday spirit with you.
Thanks for stopping by (throughout the whole year) and for putting up with all my nonsense.

Quick Digital Painting

Hi folks, how are you all doing?
This one is a quick digital study, done in Photoshop. I painted it in order to avoid rust from building up.
I know that there's a lot of things that could be improved, such as more detail and color variations in the grass, the cow's shadow should be darker, more details in the background, more value variations in the background, the sense of depth should be improved, one of the horns is too close to the edge, and overall it's a little too green... but I just wanted to finish everything up quickly before my son's nap-time was over. The emphasis was on the cow.
Anyways, it's not great but it's an update.
Thanks for stopping by.

Crazy Talk...

Hello folks, this quick sketch is an homage to a good friend of mine (which also happens to be a student of mine), Marcelo Perin.
You can check his artwork here.
The sketch looks a little flat, it doesn't have much details but I like it anyways.
Whenever Marcelo and I are brainstorming ideas, insanity always prevails.
Thanks, Sven, for all the crazy talk.
It gets my brain cells pumping.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for stopping by.

Vehicle sketches

Hello! It's been a while since my last update and for that I apologize.
Things have been pretty wild lately. I've been doing a lot of freelance stuff and teaching a lot of classes. On top of that, my son is almost 2 years old and he wants me to stop whatever I'm doing to go play with him. It's fun but it leaves me no time to update the blog.
Anyways... These were done yesterday, I started off with abstract shapes using markers then sketched on top of the shapes with black pen trying to make some sense out of the silhouettes.
Those little light effects and some shading were added digitally.
Thanks for stopping by.

Small Concept Study

Hello folks!
This is a quick demonstration I did for my students.
It's a small concept design piece.
I started off with different abstract shapes in several different layers, then I adjusted the blending modes, kinda merged them together (in Photoshop), and finally added the details and adjusted the colors.
Hope you guys enjoy it.
I think it turned out ok.
One of my students, Mauro Salgado, did an amazing job today in class (way better than mine, by the way). In order to check his work, just click on his name (highlighted above) or check the links section.
Way to go dude! I'm proud of you.
Thanks fellas for stopping by.
