I take a short break to scan this inked sketch from my sketchbook…

Back to work!

October process

Renato — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 02:45:50 +0000

October is a good month to make scripts, illustrations, sequentials, colors and lettering. Maybe the busiest month from this year… but thats my own fault since Im a very slow artist. From my sketchbook:

I made some improvements in that prehistoric alien from the previous entry and my sketchbook have some loose sketches with elongated figures, Im trying to play a little with another style… not just in drawing but also on coloring.

I was looking for a chance to do something related to My Name is Red (an excellent book by Orhan Pamuk). Master Elegant Effendi provides a charming (and dead) background.

Space girl close-up… Ground Control to Major Tom???

This smart little pig who steals the North Star (and the girl at left) is based in some short story from Les Contes de la Rue Broca (by Pierre Gripari). Sadly, I dont find the animated series in english.

Stay tuned for sketch-to-illustration process.

Mister Mulligan

Renato — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 05:00:35 +0000

“Sign the contract, mister Mulligan!” – says the Devil.

Holey Moley!!!
Who´s this mister Mulligan? We are going to see him again?? What´s up with that freaking devil´s pact???

UPDATE! [23.08.2011] Mister Mulligan in technicolor:

Random guy!

Renato — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 07:03:42 +0000

At first, this guy looked like some kind of monster but after inks were done I just see a random guy… yeah! with grey skin and a human head in his left hand but a random (maybe funny) guy after all. This time I dont really care about coloring, I use random brushes and cuts.

Cantinflas sketch

Renato — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 20:00:05 +0000

My country celebrates comic Cantinflas on the centennial of his birth. Weeks ago I was reading “El Diablo me Obligó” in which could be read a reference from a classic plastic toy that I remember from my childhood: Devil Cantinflas!

Stay tuned next week for process broadcasting.

Silly guys

Renato — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 08:48:09 +0000

A couple of silly guys from my sketchbook befor bed. Yesterday was a hard (but productive) day and next week looks like hell but this weekend I want relax… just relax. Calm before the storm.

Flying monkey sketch

Renato — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 07:48:36 +0000

From my Moleskine! from some spandex alternative Wizard of Oz and just for fun…

More sketches

Renato — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 05:15:56 +0000

Because I need sketch and draw more…

Odysseus and cyclops sketches

Renato — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 20:48:06 +0000

Because a lot of time has passed since my last sketchbook post. I make this just as practice, The Odyssey was one of my first and most enjoyable books.
