Sketchbook October (1)

Last Ocotober I've ceompleted a full sketchbook. That had never happened before. Sketchbooks usually take me months to get completed. Here you have a selection of images from them.
Enjoy!

After the US elections, the guys of Scamp.ie came up with the idea of doing a quick sketch of it.

You've seen some of the spreads already. This is the full sketchbook which was completed while on holidays in Armona, Portugal. Hope you enjoy it.

The Sailor with the Pipe image is by Chris Judge.

Some Old Character Drawings

These are a few characters I designed last year for a Film Festival Poster. None of them were used. I've just found them when I was archiving the latest illustrations I am doing. Which I hope to be posting soon.
I thought it might be interesting to show illustrations before they are treated in the computer. In this case all of them are inked very clean using a Hunt102 nib and indian ink.
It was one of the first times I used photographic reference. It would have been really difficult to get all the details of the clothes in my head. I used a magazine on Japanese Teenage Culture.

Hope you like them.

Blitzkrieg Bop

Years trying to get music in the narrative of a comic. I remember spending days trying to put a fandango I heard in Niño de la Rubita originally sung by Paco Toronjo into panels. Hours of counting notes, rhythm and frustration.

At last, I finally think I am getting close. This is the beginning of Blitzkrieg Bop. What do you think? Can you hear it too?
