La Yumba

¡Hola!

I've been a fan of Tango for a long time. I did this piece with 2 influences. First one listening to some interviews of one of my favourites artists of all times, the amazing Carlos Nine and the second the great song 'La Yumba' from Osvaldo Pugliese.
I used Gouache and colour pencils for this piece.

Hope you like it!

Also I've been doing some girls sketches with crayons and markers on my Instagram and there are also available on my store here https://www.luisgadea.com/shop/ so keep an eye if you want some originals. Here 2 samples:

People in Vancouver

¡Hola!
I spend all day long at work drawing with a Cintiq so I usually go home and draw with traditional media. I normally use and mixed whatever I can to make it work.
This weekend I went back to an exercise that I really enjoy and got inspired a while ago by Marcelo Vignali and my good friend Brett Bean. I spot interesting people on the street and try to analyze them: I look for body shapes, cloth patterns and colors, props or whatever I can describe that person with and the most important I try to observe their mood or at least create a story behind them.
I then go back home and see what are the most iconic elements that are still on my mind and play with them.

For these I used Prismacolor and Copic markers, ink for the blacks parts and colour pencil to give accent to specific places. It is a really fun exercise plus I love getting out of the computer world.

Hope you like it!

Noise Cloth

Hi people! It has been a while. I've been busy with a new project and trying to get home and keep practicing. Here a fun exercise I did with really quick drawings and using as little as I could, so I basically used the Noise filter from Photoshop to create the cloth textures. I modified a little using the tools PS provided us.

2D Mighty Eagle Sequence from The Angry Birds Movie

Hi people! It has been a while. I am cleaning this blog and actually wanting to use it again as a blog and separating it from my website. I think I am almost done doing all the prep.

While I was on The Angry Birds Movie as part of the team of Character Design, I was put also in charge as an Animation Supervisor for the 2D sequence of Mighty  Eagle. I was sent to Finland to work with Rovio Finland team to work on this nice piece. To see and read more of this great project you can go here: https://www.luisgadea.com/angry-birds-2d-sequence/


I hope I can be constant on the posts.

¡Pura Vida!

Wood Paintings

I had a table for the first time in the VanCaf. I have never done this kind of activities before. It was very fun. I had a table beside my co-worker Cindey Chiang.

I did a few wood paintings. Something different from my normal art media.  

Girls Sketches

Sketches done in a little square Moleskine using Crayons, Col-erase Prismacolor, 3B black pencil and Copics on a few of them.
