How was it?
As every year it is amazing to be part of it. To walk the isles and see what's new. All the authors that are signing their books, the exhibitions, etc.




Here are some of the pictures of this year's trip.

Sketch and finished illustration – April

Image
I usually don’t have the time to make finished illustrations but lately I’m forcing myself to do it so. I need to slowly build a portfolio so I’m finding the time to paint some of the sketches and try new things in the Sketchbook pro and Photoshop. I still don’t master the lighting so it looks like difuse light with some shadow, it’s a hard issue, I really admire people like Nathan Fowkes and his color and light illustrations!! Here is the sketch and finish illustration I did for St. George’s Day:

My illustrations on a t-shirt

Since then, I’ve read a lot of books and only some of them are interesting enough for me to try to draw my version of the books without other external influences, like movies. Now I’ve found a series of books that are really nice, entertaining, well written and that their characters are amazingly bold and interesting. So, this time, I’ve decided I’ll draw fan art but only from the book. Tim Burton has also seen the potential of this story and he is doing his movie adaptation, his point of view and how he imagines its world. It will be nice to see how he solves a lot of problems of the books because some of the parts are really scary and dark. I fear, though, that it will be very different from the book and this is something I’m not fond o…
