Cintiq Sketch

I've been practicing to sketch using a Cintiq and this is a character I just did with it from scratch, at the beginning my drawing wasn't really natural but with a little practice has become practically a 1:1 translation from the paper sketching and perhaps even better because I can add color and shadings really quick or go back anytime with the magical Undo.

The Tortoise's Travels

The napkin doodle has found it's way to end as my latest limited edition Giclée Print.

The idea for this came up the other day while I was playing with my kids and one of them saw a turtle shaped cloud above in the sky and that follows a long story about the tiny things this turtle was doing in his cloudy life up there... she has a house, she eats an apple, she plays volley ball, enjoy the sun and every once in a while visits her friends and family houses, during the time my son was talking about all the things this turtle enjoyed to do we noticed the turtle shaped cloud was going away pushed by the wind so I asked my son – If the turtle is forced to move out, what do you think she would like to take with her? – He responded, well, the most important things for her are obviously her family and friends so probably will take their entire houses with her...

So, I made this sketch first based in our turtle conversation :)



And the final piece just arrived!
This is a signed and hand-numbered 100 Limited Edition Giclee Print.
Size: 16" x 20" (40 x 50 cm) on 100% cotton rag, archival acid free base, fine art paper.

Alligator Sketch

Just a quick doodle I did the other day with an alligator on mind...

Random Characters

Some funky characters I found the other day in my sketch book... I'm not even sure why I doodled these guys but they all look part of the same gang :)

Great Schools

Recently I was invited by the fine fellows of Fashion Buddha to participate in a pitch-round to establish the art for a series of educational animated episodes by the City of San Francisco. This is what I came for but unfortunately didn't make it. I think the artwork is going to be under Ward Jenkins hand. I imagine this project is going to keep him busy for some time. Congrats my friend!

First Lost Tooth!

The other day Bruno, my five years old son lost his first tooth, I missed cause I'm in a trip :(
So I made a quick drawing to celebrate the small but important event.
Te amo Bruno :)

Character

I saw this person the other day in the Underground in my way to the office. So I made a drawing based on him.
