Grandpa's Monster Movies

Hi there, Not enough time lately to finish the next Astronaut image. In the meantime here is another of the covers I did for the Deadtime Stories series by Annette and Gina Cascone , Grandpa's Monster Movies . Another concept with a lot of sense of humor thanks to the precise art direction by Seth Lerner at TOR. By the way, working with children and teens expressions is a difficult task to do. Figuring out their age and features is complicated since they change so fast apart from the usual complications derived from finding and working with models of those age groups. That's why I was so happy to acquire Facial Expressions Babies to Teens, A Visual Reference for Artists by Mark Simon. This book has been an incredible help for my work. I strongly recommend it for all of you realist illustrators out there.

Percy Jackson, The Demigod Files

Character Design is one of my favorite things in Illustration. I love portraits and the possibility to capture the characters psychology and mood is always challenging. In this kind of images there is no scene depicted and not much of a setting behind them so they have to tell it all by themselves. It's been a while since I designed this group of characters as supporting graphic material for the Percy Jackson series. They've been used basically online on Disney and author Rick Riordan 's websites but for my satisfaction they've been also published in The Demigod Files and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Ultimate Guide . Here go a few of them. I've keep working in this type of material during the last few years with Hyperion Books for Children in the series Heroes of Olympus and The Kane Chronicles . We have increased the complexity of the images, it's getting better with every new character.

Kraft Sketchbook

Hi there, This is my new sketchbook. DeSerres started producing them recently (or I haven't seen them before) and I couldn't help but get one. Here are a few of the images I have made on it. Not very good for pencil but really nice for ballpoint pens or pigment liners.
