HI-FI flyers process

Pane — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 11:58:10 +0000

I’m working on the design for HI-FI, a reggae sound system hosted by my pal Kraze.
It’s interesting because it will be printed with a combination of techniques, is going to be a two colors print, probably on yellow paper with an additional black color added later passing the finished flyers into a photocopy machine, this choices conditioned by a low budget, will probably give us an interesting result, which I’m looking forward to see and share with you.
The two colors print is going to be special, it will be executed on a Risograph, in a process that involves real ink, giving very brilliant colors.
I’ve executed the drawings with a Japanese ink stick on a special blotting paper, so the drawings looks fat and soft.

Drawing Italians

Pane — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 15:29:42 +0000

Playing around with some more portraits. Here I decided to portray a series of Italian character; people that I like, I respect or I have sympathy for.
The aim was to capture on a quick drawing the essence of a face, getting that “thing” that makes a portrait looks like the portrayed. This was not an exercise in copying, but searching the secrets of a face.
Executed in charcoal this drawings are made as fast as I could, each one was made in about 30 minutes; still too long for what I wanted to do, but trying to get faster.
Below a small preview of the portraits, if you want to see them bigger please visit my Flickr page.
Plus I did a movie showing the making of Valentino Rossi’s portrait.

World cup South Africa 2010

Pane — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:34:19 +0000

Here some portraits of football players I’ve done so far, I’m still working on it, getting ready in my way to the coming world cup in South Africa.
They are quickly made drawings, using an inking nib, which is a tool I’d like to master, well; maybe just fell comfortable with it. Differently as I did lately when I used charcoal, ink doesn’t give room for errors, when you do a stroke, that’s it, not going back and corrections aloud, so it improves confidence and it’s a very good exercise.

To see more and in details those drawing, please visit my Flickr page.

Grazie Roma!

Pane — Sat, 15 May 2010 16:50:10 +0000

AS Roma football team did a grate job this last season, and gave to me; as I think to all Roma supporters, the opportunity to live grate moments.
With Roma this year we could joy a lots of success and cry very few tears, which I think are also moments when our faith gets stronger.
Anyway, I wanted to homage this grate year of Roma, by doing the portraits of all the players, with the spirit of grabbing just a black “thing” from my pencils case and quickly draw.
Here I just posted some of the portraits, to see it all in bigger size please visit my Flickr page.

Sticker

Pane — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 12:48:54 +0000

Here’s another sticker for the “famous” stickers sheet I’m working on.
The eagle is not my favorite subject but I have to say it is a classic one sticker.

Another sticker design

Woods and twigs

Pane — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:46:35 +0000

Ones I did picked up some little woods and other objects on a beach in Portugal, they appeared to me quite interesting subjects to do drawings of and so I drawn them. I wanted to capture on paper the secrets enclosed in those woods and little twigs.

I did make this drawings as a sort of exercise where the aim was to bring back on paper a visual definition of those “insignificant” things.
