Hey amigos!

I was not quite sure if I'd share these new (and different) illustrations here on DA, since I devote this space to my (solely) digital works. But since these traditional / digital experiments are reflecting a LOT of what I'm experimenting and developing nowadays, I decided that it wouldn't hurt to share a bit of my new approaches and directions. But of course, I'll continue putting up my upcoming digital paintings, too.

This was my first real attempt to create a finished illustration in the "tradigital" mode - an traditional drawing/painting with a digital finishing. I painted with acrylics and watercolors over a graphite drawing on a 300gms Fabriano paper, scanned and then retouched/enchanced some details on Photoshop. This illo is a landmark for me, and it definetly synthesizes a new way of creating images for the future. The result is so more organic, fluid than the digital paintings!
Hope you enjoy the result, too.

Abraços!
