Coloring



Drawing and coloring just for fun.

I've done the volumes in grayscales, then I've applied the colors with the 'tone/saturation' option in photoshop.

Then I've adjusted the light a bit with the 'lighting effect' option.

Finally I've adjusted the mid-tones and shadows with the 'levels' option.

Self-portrait



My first attempt at vector art using Photoshop.

It's a self-portrait though I was younger at the time of that picture.

I'll be experimenting a bit more with this to see what happens.

Tiny Life: Issue 3 preview



Here's the preview of page 17 from Tiny Life #3.

In this issue Jed gets back to the house where he lived when was a kid, and he finds it almost in ruins.

He's searching for clues of his past and his parents' past. The story starts to give a mystic turn.

The script, inks, digital textures and lettering are the work of Nick Jones, president of Sliver ltd.

Pencils by Nicolás Colacitti.

You can find out a lot more about Tiny Life in the official site, here.

And get the issues at Lulu.com here.

Shugendo, a warriors path: Page 1 preview



Here's a preview of the first page from the first chapter of 'Shugendo, a warriors path' written by Kris Gardner.

Has been a while since the last time I've done the Anime/Manga style, but I find out that I can easily adapt me to it.

I'm also learning a lot about ninjas. It's a really cool project and I'm thankful to Kris that chose me to draw it.

I'll be uploading here some sketches and pages from time to time.

Hopefully I'll have more stuff related to upload soon.

New Gallery



I've added a new art gallery at my ComicSpace to show some sketches and different styles of artwork.

Hopefully, soon I'll have more material to put there.

Teamwork



I've been working hand-to-hand with the CableNube's members in order to create a 2-pages test for an editor these last days .

We made the short script and the layouts, then the sketches, the rendering and the inks.

Once all was done, we add to it some edition with Photoshop.

It took about 22 hours of work, and this was a great experience to work as a team.

The Master Key - Page 6 of 6



This is the last page, you can see all the finished pages are at my comicspace: The Master Key

The story has some meaning for me but I believe it's open to the reader's interpretation.

About the style that I've used, I think it works good but just for short stories and illustrations. The main issue that I found is that it requieres a lot of time, with the same quantity of lines used in a panel I could have done one or more lineal pages (well, maybe a little exaggerated).

Anyway, it was something fun to do.

The Master Key - Page 5 of 6



I've been drawing the last two pages in these days, so here they are, finally the story is complete.

The Master Key - Page 4 of 6



Here's the fourth page of the short story. Fortunately I'm not in a rush with this comic, I'm taking almost two weeks for each page.

Anyway, I've found some anthologies that are going to be published, so I'll have to finish this before the final date for submissions.
