Love for music and motion

Here are some of the stuff I've been doing mostly: dance drawings! I looooooooooove doing this!!!! It really is a passion for me. I listen to music and things just happen in my head! I wish I could sketch them or animate them as quick as they come. But for now this is what I can show. They are rather quick sketches, no reference is used in any of them.

Dance and music

When I listen to music, images and movement come into mind. These are two examples, quick paintings.
The first is obviously Michael Jackson... the song is "Morphine", one of his own.
The second is some chill out music... don't remember which one, or ones, now. Something that felt happy and free! :)

Spirits of Light

... a painting I made for a very special friend. *heart*
It's just something that came into mind, while feeling inspired...

Some guys

A compilation of sketches. :D

Sketches and magic!

Long time no post! To tell the truth, I miss my blog. :)
Here are some stuff I've been doing lately to re-open this up. I've been sketching a LOT! Oh yeah! :)

The first is a rogue, I gave him a quick color and here he is in the light.
Second are some Merida from "Brave" inspired drawings I made while listening to the movie's soundtrack. I love the song by the Mumford & Sons and Birdy (Learn me Right)!
Third, some faerie inspired drawings, and the last one too, but with some love for dancing. *heart*

My Art on Facebook

I've been away from the blog lately, but not inactive. I've created a FB page with my stuff, I'll keep it updated. I might come back to the blog, bur for now I'll just stick with the Facebook page and post here at the blog any news of changing.

Follow the link and I hope you enjoy my art!

Ethereal Love

Remember this Daily Sketch 5 and 6 ?
Here is the finished version of it, now with the title "Ethereal Love". :)

"True Love defies human words...
  ... and has no boundaries."
<3

Dancing exercices...

... on paper, of course. :P
I sketched this based on the video of a dance performance by Marco Ferreira, the winner of the portuguese version of the show "So You Think You Can Dance". He's an amazing dancer, great moves! I learned a lot by watching the video and drawing him. :) Thank you Marco!

Dancing (sort of) Sketches

Some random sketches inspired on dancing (contemporary - my favourite). Done with photoshop. No references used. Just listened to music and let myself go. Not without watching a video or two about dancing just to set the mood. ;)

(I'm not a dancer... it's probably obvious in the drawings - I doubt they are official contemporary dance moves :P)

More to come soon!

Paranaue! Paranaue Parana!

I love drawing bodies in motion! Especially if they're doing martial arts or dancing... which for me is almost the same thing in therms of movement. ;)
Here are some sketches I made today isnpired on Capoeira moves. I did them while listening to the songs of the movie "Only The Strong", which they say to be the best film about Capoeira. These songs make me want to draw and do the "ginga" at the same time, ahahah!
Anyway, no references were used to sketch, except for the last two pages.

(Yeah... I know there are a lot of anatomic mistakes. ^.^;)

Pinups

These are my contribution for a pinup collection... and a personal attempt at painting realism. No photographic references were used, except for the gipsy girl's face position.

More concepts...

... this time for a "Bollycao" commercial.. :)  This is how the wonderful "bread" full of yummie chocolate is made. ;)  These concepts were used to make the 3D version and the result turned out very nice!

Graffiti girls

My contribution for a comic project... The girls were sketched in photoshop. 

Character concepts

Long time no post.... I'm back with some new updates. :) I'll be around more often from now on.

These are some basic concepts I made a while ago for a game company.  

Happy Easter!
