Dibujando con Paco Alcázar

0 comments Posted by pablo in comicstrip, madrid, meeting, spain on May 15th, 2013 .

Aprovechando mi corta estadía en Madrid la semana pasada (3 – 7 de Mayo) contacté con Paco Alcázar uno de mis dibujantes favoritos de España, a lo mejor lo conoces por su tira semanal Silvio José en “El Jueves”, y con toda la onda del mundo quedamos a la salida de metro de Callao y se me ocurrió hacer este cómic sobre el encuentro. Lo que más me inspiró es que todos los textos los escribe a mano (y son muchos!) así que lo apliqué en el comic mío también a modo de aprendizaje. Haz un click para verlo en más grande! Les dejo un link a su nuevo libro recopilatorio “Huracán de sensatez” y este link a otro recopilatorio “la industria de los sueños”

Ayutthaya

ayutthaya

In the post of this snowy monday in Berlin i will talk about my short visit to the ancient city of Ayutthaya พระนครศรีอยุธยา located 2 hours by train from Bangkok. See www.railway.co.th for the schedule if you plan to visit. It´s perfect for making a day tour to Ayutthaya to see many temples at the ancient capital of Thailand. I was there just for the day and took the last train to continue to Chiangmai. I rented a bike at the station and left my bacpack at the lockers. I tryed to visit all the temples but the city isn´t so small so it takes time to ride from one temple to another. One of my favourites was Wat Yai Chaimongkol with the Buddhas statues around the temple.

From a sketch on the road to the book

0 comments Posted by pablo in Bangkok, book, thailand on March 5th, 2013 .

In the post from today i will show in three steps how i create the final drawing for the book i´m doing about my travel in Asia. Here is an example how the sketch first looks like from my sketchbook and how it looks after some retouching in photoshop. And why don´t drawing digitally directly? I discovered that if i draw life on the place i get more feelings and situation as if i draw it from a photo or reference. I know it changes a lot in the process but i try to keep the composition from the sketch to the final version. Leave your comments if you have any questions.

En Noviembre de 2012 estuve viajando por el sur de Argentina y Chile y fue una experiencia increíble. Toda la inspiración de los paisajes del sur las estaba dibujando en mi cuaderno de viaje. Pero a veces las cosas no salen como uno espera y sentado en un ferry hacia Puerto Montt decidido a dibujar los paisajes del lugar me di cuenta de que me faltaba el cuaderno de viaje y los rotuladores. Lo malo es que ya habían pasado 6 horas desde la última parada que había tenido y lo di por perdido. Entre llanto y enfado por sentirme tan inútil se me ocurrió ver posibilidades de donde podría estar y pensé en el último hostal donde había dormido. Unos compañeros de viaje me ofrecieron el móvil para consultar en el hostal pero lo trágico es que en el ferry no había cobertura. Así que al llegar a la próxima estación llamando a varios teléfonos logré comunicarme con el hostal “Futaleufu“ en la ciudad que lleva el mismo nombre. Marcela me atendió y me dijo que me había dejado una libreta allí! así que loco de la alegría le envié por mail la dirección en Santiago de Chile donde iba a estar. Y el cuaderno llegó, pero yo ya no estaba en Santiago, así que nuestra amiga Gabriela fué tan cordial de enviármela a Berlín. Y hoy llegó por fin a mis manos!

Les dejo algunas fotos del contenido del paquete, y gracias a Marcela y a Gabriela por tan buena onda! Y si van a Futaleufu no duden en quedarse en el hostal, que es un lugar muy lindo y con buenos precios!

Taroko nationalpark

0 comments Posted by pablo in book, photos, taiwan, travel on January 30th, 2013 .

I have a plan, i discover right now it´s a good way to post all the places i visited in Asia while i work on them for the book, means, right now i´m working on the Taiwan chapter, so i can post drawings and photos from my visit there. When i was traveling it was difficult to post all the places i visited so this can be a new way. Today i will show you some pictures of my one day to Taroko NationalPark in Taiwan. The national park is at Hualien province and near Hualien city. I arrived to Hualien with the train coming from Kaoshiung. I was only 14 days in Taiwan so i was spending mostly one to two days in every city, and i did a one day trip to Taroko. I rented a scooter in Hualien and woke up early and ride to the park (the ride was around 30 min). The good thing with the scooter you can visit every corner and take your time to do what you want. I met a french guy at the hostel and we visited the park together. The trip started like this:
