I loved the series and seeing your pages just blows me away! How long did it take to draw a typical page?

Thanks for sharing such beautiful work!

[ Posted by Joe_Prado on Mar 19th, 2007 6:41 AM ]... Hi Ed! Thanks a million for the kind words, man! Now answering your answer -- tipically it takes me a whole day to pencil a page, in RTW´s case, I was inking my pages also. So, I just did loose layouts, and started to ink straight on them. Which takes me a whole day too (in some cases a little more). Cool? And thanks again!

Valeu a dica valiosa Joe, estou achando o Comic Space o máximo devido a este tipo de coisa, conversar com os ídolos e profissionais da área.
Valeu a dica, voltamos a nos falar no futuro.
Abraço

[ Posted by adanmarini on Mar 1st, 2007 7:39 AM ]...

Pois é, e tb hj em dia somos abençoados com refências devido à internet.
Puxa, esqueci de dizer o quanto as suas ilustrações são ótimas, parabéns pelo traço detalhado e ao mesmo tempo simples e pela anatomia perfeita de seus personagens.
Sem querer ser chato, vc poderia me sanar uma dúvida?
Qual é a função de se usar grafite azul em esboços? Será pq assim ñ é necessário apagar após fazer a arte-final pq o scanner ñ pega?
Abraço

1 Reply [ Latest posted on March 5th, 2007 8:58 AM ]

[ Posted by Joe_Prado on Mar 5th, 2007 8:58 AM ]... Adan, o grafite azul é usado exatamente para isso. Fazer a construção e base dos desenhos -- teóricamente ele não é reproduzido pelo scanner. MAS, uma dica - não acalque o grafite azul, ok? Senão além de ser reproduzido, vc não conseguirá apaga-lo. Blz? Abração!

[ Posted by adanmarini on Feb 28th, 2007 7:53 PM ]...

Olá Joe, tudo certo?
É ótimo poder falar com um artista de quadrinhos e principalmente se ele for brasileiro, até pq meu inglês ñ é dos melhores. hehe
Gostaria de saber no q vc anda trabalhando atualmente além das capas para a Sonja.
Quais são as referências q vc usa para as ilustrações, no sentido de roupas espadas e coisas do gênero?
Logo q eu puder, coloco no ar umas ilustrações minhas para vc ver o q acha delas ok?
Abraço e sucesso.

[ Posted by Joe_Prado on Mar 1st, 2007 4:00 AM ]... Oi, Adan! Valeu pelo comentário! =) Estou trabalhando sim em mais capas como, The Phantom, Battlestar Galactica e mais algumas que não posso falar (ou postar aqui) ainda. Além disso, vou começar a desenhar 2 edições de uma série da Top Cow. Quanto às refs que eu uso -- bom, sou um "freak" em termos de referências. Tenho vários livros sobre armaduras, armas antigas, etc. Mas, qdo falamos da Sonja, estamos falando de algo MUITO anterior à Idade Média - então o negócio é usar a criatividade. Aguardo pra ver suas ilustrações. Abração!
