Snape and Harry

In case you guys didn't know, I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. I started reading the books when they first started getting published in Portugal, and the whole Potter world became a big part of my imagination. Even now, as a grown adult, the series is still a big part of me, even if there will be no more Harry Potter books or movies. Last weekend I went to the movies to check out Deathly Hallows: Part 2. I really liked it - obviously, as a fan, I have a tendency to nitpick, but I think it was a really good wrap-up for the series. Snape pretty much stole the show, but I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen the movie or read the book yet. Since he was so awesome, I felt like drawing something with Snape and Harry, and I decided to represent a scene that used to be typical at Hogwarts. Hope you enjoy it!

As a little treat, here's a progress shot of this particular piece: first lines only, then the flats, and finally the finished drawing.

A Garagem de Kubrick Total Film 1

I don't think I've kept you guys up to date regarding some recent developments, but finally, today, I'll spill the beans. Since last month, the comic "Garagem de Kubrick" that I keep with my friend J.B. Martins (he writes, I draw) started getting published in the portuguese version of the famous movie magazine Total Film. I'm not going to lie, it's pretty awesome. We're doing brand new pages for the magazine, so all we publish is new material. To prove that, here's the first page we created for Total Film Portugal. Sorry for the lack of translation in the header, but yeah, it's self-explanatory. Hope you enjoy this!

Don't forget to keep up with us on Facebook!

Bob's Burguers

Me and my boyfriend recently started watching two new tv shows: Game of Thrones and Bob's Burgers. It's a great ballance, really: Game of Thrones is intense and dark, and Bob's Burgers is extremely funny, and it really feels good to laugh a bit after watching some Lannisters prance around the screen for a while (grrr Lannisters suck!). Since I like Bob's Burgers so much, I had to try my hand at drawing the family, so I did. I came up with this extremely simple drawing while I had a day off from work and decided it was a good idea to practice my digital drawing skills (sadly underdeveloped so far). I hope you enjoy it, and trust me, check out Bob's Burgers!

What about fan art for Game of Thrones, you ask? Maybe soon you'll see some. Check out Game of Thrones too, while you're at it. Fantastic show and even better book series.

Thor

I've been wanting to draw Thor ever since I saw the movie a few weeks ago. I thought it was a really fun summer blockbuster, and it kind of made me curious about the character. I never really cared much for Thor before, but suddendly he won me over. I even read Thor: The Mighty Avenger, a comic series that was, I can now say, very unfairly cancelled, so I was just waiting for that precious little bit of free time to doodle Thor. I had the chance to do so today, so here's the result. It's just a very simple drawing, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. More drawings will be here soon, I promise!

Mad Scientist

My newest contribution to Hungry for Lines was an interpretation of the theme "Mad Scientist". Here I give you not one, but two versions of this drawing: the inked version and the colored version.


I drew this with a mechanical pencil, inked it with a mix of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 pens, as well as a brush pen. I hope you dig it!

Myth - The 7th Labor

Last week's theme over at the Hungry for Lines website was "Myth". When I started thinking about the theme “Myth”, I immediately thought of greek mythology, and how it’s so richly populated by epic stories and characters we all, in some way or another, are familiar with. So I decided to dive into the rich well of greek mythology and draw something from it. After thinking about it, I decided to draw one of the labors of Heracles, and I ended up choosing the 7th labor, in which King Eurystheus ordered Heracles to capture the Cretan Bull. I hope you enjoy this light-hearted aproach to the 7th Labor of Heracles!

I drew this with a mechanical pencil, inked it with a mix of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 pens, as well as a brush pen. The color was done digitally, and I added a texture from this website.

Link - Dominion Rod

An artist friend from Deviantart, Felo, invited me to be a part of a mega Zelda collab he was putting together. The idea was to pick one of the several items from the Zelda games and draw Link with it. I ended up getting the Dominion Rod, so here it is! It's a simple drawing, but I hoe you enjoy it.
