New Mutants cover 25

Here´s a little behind the scenes work from the New Mutants cover 25.
I first did the 3 sketches and I sent them to the editors. I usually do all this process digitally on a cintiq.
Once the editors pick one of the layouts I start working on the finish pencils. I usually do a printout of the layout and do a trace over on the light table for the clean pencils.
Then I go to photoshop to apply colors till I get the final render.

I´m very happy with the final result since it was a rushed job.

For my eyes only

This is a drawing I did in my spare time, it doesn´t have any meaning... well, it could be just an interpretation from my subconscious

Captain America Process

Hey guys,

It´s been a while since I last updated my journal. Right now I´ve been working on X-men legacy, I´ll keep you guys posted with some images.

Also I´m very happy to announce I now have a two year exclusive contract with Marvel, I´ve been having a great time working for them and hopefully some cool artwork will come from that.

Here I uploaded a layout sample of my work process, I usually do all my layout digitally on the cintiq, then I do a printout and with a light table I do the final render.

Sandoje 3d

Hey Everyone! Here is a very cool colab I did with the amazing 3D artist David Abreras. This is a character design I did for a personal comic I was working on but never had the time to finish back in 2006, I should really pick it up again sometime. Anyway...David asked me if he could use the character for modeling, couple of months later he showed me the final result and I was breathless. At first I thought it was my drawing just painted on top, then I looked closely and saw how close he kept the model to my concept. This was really exciting since this was the first time I'd ever seen my character being represented by someone else in 3d, and boy he did a fantastic job. So...for those 3d artist out there who are interested into the backstage work of David on this piece, check out the 3dtotal article/tutorial. http://www.3dtotal.com/tutorial/softimage_xsi/pirate_sandoje_character_modeling/sandoje_pirate_modeling_01.php

ipad scketch

My brother just got this new Ipad thing, and I have to admit it’s quite amazing.
This is one of the sketches I started doing while waiting for breakfast at Chili’s. I think the idea of having a digital sketchbook is great.
Thinking about getting one, but I just wish apple would put some pressure sensitivity on the tablet, hopefully next generation.

Here are a couple of sketches I did while watching Dexter.
I think I’ll try to do this more often, it was good practice.

Enjoy

Here’s my latest sketch that I did during my Easter break at the beach.
It’s been I while since I had the time to draw in my sketch book.
The image doesn’t have a real meaning just want to portrait something pretty to look at.

unfinished bussines

Old sketch I did last summer, I haven’t had the time of finish it, but I think that’s the beauty of sketches.

A sketch I did some while ago for a concept I'm working on, for a possible cartoon.

Avenger initiative #35

Here are the sketches for one of the two pages I’m working on for the Avengers initiative #35, the final issue.

Basically the way I work my pages for a title is giving the scrip a first read just for fun, then a second time trying to figure out what panel shapes and composition I should use in each page. Once I draw thumbnails on the side of the script I start doing little sketches for each panel, sometimes on the same script and sometimes on another side page. After I have a couple of ideas of how each panel is gonna work I then start with the sketch like the one you see here, I usually go around it with and HB pencil so I can get strong lines and speed up the process.

Then I scan the sketch and blow it up in the computer and I print it on a comic board size(11” x17”) then I tape the print into a comic board page. Now I start tracing with a 2H pencil the print on my light table ,once I’m done with all the tracing I turn off the light table and go around the page working on my lines and polishing the details.

Hope this is helpful for other artist out there, because I'm always eager to know the process of work of other artist.

Here’s a little preview of the sketches I did for an upcoming title about Hulk. I had the great chance to work with Jimmy Palmiotti. I had a lot of fun working on this title, since I had the freedom to do all the art work with no rushing deadlines. That would make any artist happy.
