Maybe the first illustration of a series of cute girls doing cute things.

This one was heavily inspired by Garret Hanna's work, he's such a nice guy by the way. :)

Having some lonely days lately, yet I'm still working at full steam.

The good thing is that some freelance work are starting to pop here and there. Hoping for the best! :)

Explorer

I'm having some good times lately trying new approachs and getting out of my confort zone, i really hope to keep getting better at my craft. :)

And from now on, since i do have a proper portfolio already, i'll start using this space a little more as a blog actually. So you can expect more thoughts, photos, links and stuff :P

So let's get started:

Have you seen this?
Have you read this?

And don't you think these guys are cute?

Some animation stuff

It's been a while that i don't post anything animation related so here it is. :)

I had to design a book cover lately, and that's the result. :)
I tried to explore some storytelling and a more deep texture work too.

Digital painting classes

In the past few weeks I've attended on FuturePoly classes and i want to share some of the course assignments, it's lectures covers a lot in between digital painting, concept art, techniques and a few more cool things. It's been so much fun and so much learning and i hope to post more soon! :)

Just trying to evolve some concept while studying composition, story telling and stuff. Hope y'a dig! :)

Gesture

Just dusting off the blog. 5 minutes gesture drawing.

Animation is killing me :P

It's been quite crazy to study animation, because it's definally something hard to me but i'll keep trying to push it foward. ;)
Those are some exercises i've been doing at Melies.

Tem sido uma doidera estudar animação, porque pra mim é algo difícil e que não fluí naturalmente mas vou continuar me esforçando. ;)
Estes são alguns exercícios que tenho feito na Melies.

2011 has been intense

This year i'll be studying at Melies, so there's a lot of new things to learn in animation and modeling, i'm also trying to manage my time the best i can to keep studying drawing and painting regularly.

This is my first modeling study, it was based on a dagger of Prince of Persia The Two Thrones.
