Comic Strip Assignment

Characters for a comics strip I'm doing for my Humor and Caricature class. I'll explain later what the deal is with these two guys.

Cover, Inks.

Work in progress

I've decided to post everything that I do, even if it is not in chronological order. I'm kind of a neat and order freak, and I always try to do everything as squared as I can. But I just realized that that might not be the best for this blog, as far as posting activity goes. So from now on, I'll just post stuff, even if it is not in an apparent order.

Hope y'alls don't mind.

How to become a comic book artist with Fernando Ruiz

I know I have not posted anything in a while, but I promise I have tons of cools stuff to post, if I can only make some time to do it. School is pretty tight now and there are some extra curricular projects that also take most of my time.

In the mean time I leave you guys an interview done by Bleeding Cool, to one of my teachers at The Kubert School: Fernando Ruiz. He is a really really good teacher and I have learned a lot from him.

Keep drawing my friends!

Emma Stone

Emma Stone.

 That zombieland movie girl.  I did not get the face right, but it was a nice exercise.

First time using charcoal, ever.

Mariachi Vs. Afro

This is a very special piece to me, because I give all of my heart and effort to make it look as best as I could. It started as a homework assignment for Layout class, and it became one of the coolest works I have ever had the pleasure to do.

The assignment's objective was to design a poster using symmetry. I chose mirror symmetry because it better suited the purpose and resources for this particular job.


It is no secret that I love ninjas and samurais and everything japan related. So I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to make a tribute to two awesome representatives of this subject matter.

So here it goes:

Composition 

Plane separation

Mariachi art line

Afro art line

Flats

Slaping skin tones (detail)

Teaser

Final

Mariachi Samurai is an amazing graphic novel I just recently discovered during this past NY ComiCon, and I just love Afro Samurai ever since I watched that Resurrection movie.

I hope you guys liked it.

Dragon girl

Hello again my friends. Again with no time for the explanation of the process, just the phases I went through with this assignment for one of my classes. This is not new material, it is part of a batch I havent posted yet but I wil little by little.

Hope you like it.

Sketch

Armor

Adding more detail

Wings and facial features

Cleaning up.

Batman Wrap Around Cover

Bats!

And now the process:

1. Digital sketch

2. Tighter lines  (badguys)

 3. Tighter lines  (goodguys)

4. Character Adjustments

 5. Finished pencils

6. Final Inks

Done as a project for one of my classes. The instructions were design a wrap around cover with two distinct focal points, one in front and one in the back that together could work as a poster.

I don't have the colored version yet, because the only thing that I have finished after the inks is just the color flats, and I don't consider that to be worthy of being published. So bear with me, I'll post it when I'm done with the colors.

Till then, rock on.
