Artist's Comments

Comic presented as a final project in the university:
A 14 pages comic about the life of Vincent Van Gogh.
It is narrated through his own letters to his brother Theo (this is why you see many black spaces here), and also with the posterior thoughts about Van Gogh written back in 1947 by Antonin Artaud (extra points to anyone who know this guy ;))
Both texts combined give an interesting combination of points of view about the painter.

I tried to use some of the characteristics of Van Gogh's painting in the graphic style of the comic, I hope you manage to recognize it (but I wasn't trying to imitate his style: trying to imitate Van Gogh would have been too much for me, like a lack of respect to his memory :D).

By the way, I did this comic in a period of 14 days: That is, 14 pages in color, DIN A3 sized, and the whole text of the pages (that was pretty much text :D), in 14 days: More than 1 page per day, yeah. So some things are a bit rushed, I know that. I'd have like to spend more time with it (specially in some of the narrative stuff), but deadlines were just too tight. Anyway, I still quite like what it came out.

Here you have the first 4 pages. I'll post some more.

Hope you enjoy!!

Ei, m'encanta, has aconseguit imitar l'estil del Van Gogh amb molta elegància, a part de k el personatge es reconeix de seguida , bona feina
:iconanngi:
Qué guapo!!! Es el trabajo que hiciste para Historia, alucinante!!!! *_*

El otro día encima me compré un libro de Van Gogh...es que no me hace falta ni leer de qué va, porque el estilo te ha quedado, dentro de tu línea, pero clavado clavado a sus cuadros.

What is drawing? It is working oneself through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do. - Vincent van Gogh
:iconzuthell:
Pues sí q lo es... te había hablado ya de ese trabajo? xD
Pues sí, espero haber conseguido transmitir esa sensacion con el grafismo... Fue muy divertido experimentar para intentar hacer ese "término medio" entre su color y el mío :D

Gracias!! ;)

(Por cierto, buena compra q hiciste... ese hombre era impresionante)

Hahaha gracies!! ^^
Encara te'n falten algunes per veure, aqui al DA dec haver penjat mes o menys la meitat del comic nomes :D
Ja us el portaré acabat!!

I si, i tant, no sé si estic en condicions d'anar de "profe d'aquarela" ni res, pero si us puc ajudar, quan vulgueu! (això potser m'ajudarà a començar a reflexionar sobre per què pinto com pinto... saps allò tí;pic, que moltes coses les fas per instint, i quan les has d'explicar entens per què les fas? xDDD) I així de pas quedem d'una puta vegada... ¬¬
xDDD

Molen moltíssim, jo vaig veure en preview les que em vas passar i encara no tenien el fons negre, bueno, ja et vaig dir que el resultat es una passada, m'agrada com has tractat les aquarel.les per donar aquest "toc" Van Gogh al còmic que queda de puta mare perque sembla un reflex dels seus propis pensaments.

Després tambe m'agradaria mencionar els caretos que fots, et surt la gent super expressiva, pots veure com es va rallant progressivament el pobre home.

Mola mil ja saps xD
:iconzuthell:
Gracies noia!! ^^
Vaig passar molt bones estones pintant aqui xD
Ja us ensenyare el muntatge final, amb el text i demés ^^
