Sketches and studies

A good exercise is to carry a sketchbook with you until you fill it – or get tired of it. I got some magazine mock ups (they are blank magazines, like prototypes) and I’ve been using them as sketchbooks.

Magazine pages are terrible for pencil so I’m obliged to use only markers and pens. And I try to spend less than 5 minutes with each page. It’s a great way to practice.

One year designing paper products

It’s been almost one year since I started working at Smuzi with product and packaging design. I still have a lot of fun designing paper products and there are always great challenges coming up. Paper is one of the most versatile materials out there.

I started this while waiting for a friend. I’m going to finish it when I have some time, maybe add some colors.

I’m so glad I finally have some time to update my site. I’ve been uploading my works almost daily!

As usual I’m very busy with my work, but I have changed my routine to save more time for my personal projects. These are just random sketches.

This is an unfinished sketch, but I really like the way it was going. This type of recycled paper is very smooth and gives a nice tone to the drawings.
