Today I thought I would share some tools that I have been using in my drawings and illustrations. If this is something that interest you keep reading...
Could be a INKtober drawing, but it wasn't. Just a rant about a crazy monday.
My reaction to last Monday morning. I was expecting a quite and productive morning, instead there was noise, constant interruptions and no work done.
used:
Pentel Brush Pen
Black Fine liner 0.1
Copic Ciao Markers
Sketchbook

This month I decided to try something new and list a few of my favourites in a drawing format!
1) 2015/2016 Planner - Handmade by me (Nuts for Paper.)
I was trying a new product design and ended up to stay with the tester for me. It's a mix of book cloth (the red part) and pattern design paper with ladybugs and butterflies. Of course in my favourite colour combo - red and blue.
2) Messenger Bag (from Asos brand)
I both this bag in the beginning of summer, but only now I'm starting to use it. I love this style of bag. I just wish it was a little bigger so my computer could fit in.
3) Blue Baker's Twine (from Made in Paper)
I've stock up my Baker's Twine - at moment I have it in three shades of blue. If I find more blue shades I might feel tempted to add it to my "collection".
4) Copic Ciao Markers
I've been building on this collection of markers in the past months. At the moment I have 73 different shades and I'm very happy with it! and with the perspective of creating more original artwork with them.
5) Curls Curls Curls Curls
At last, after so many months of pushing it back, I went to my hairdresser and make curls. I feel like myself again!
6) Hobbit Day!! (22nd of September)
If you don't know what Hobbit Day, it's Bilbo and Frodo Baggins birthday! (Yes, I'm a huge nerd and fan for Tolkien books, and also Peter Jackson movie adaptation). With that in mind I've started to re-read The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring!!
7) New Pencils
This month I got a few new colour pencils. I hadn't use them for a few years, and I'm very excited to use them again.
8) and Fall/ Autumn is here!!
Just a squirrel celebrating Autumn!!
but I'm not the only one.
Quick sketch in my sketchbook
Cats + Books + Succulents (all I'm missing is the cats, although I can always draw them)
These drawings are for a custom order for Nuts for Paper planner.
A sketch of me in my happy little corner in my living room. This is were usually sit and work, but also spend endless hours on the internet (and sometimes even playing Sims 4).
I also read and draw in this spot. It can be messy, but I'm working on it.
And filled the first page with a drawing about it! It was also a comeback to paint with coloured pencils. And also a comeback of cartoonish self portraits in one of my most common outfits (my three shades of grey outfit - completely NOT related with any Shades of Grey book)
Este ano participei novamente com uma ilustração para o projecto Histórias de Ajudaris.
O texto que me calhou foi escrito pelos Alunos do 4ºB do Agrupamento de Escolas Marcelino Mesquita do Cartaxo - EB1 n.º 1 José Tagarro. O texto fala sobre sermos diferentes e sobre sermos amigos (apesar das diferenças que possamos ter.)
Podem encontrar a ilustração que fiz o ano passado aqui.

Eu prometi que vos vinha falar destes passarinhos especiais e o prometo é devido.
Achei que fazia mais sentido reservar um post inteirinho sobre este projecto, curiosos? Então continuem a ler!
\\
I promised in the previous blog post that I would talk about these little special birds another time. And that time come. I thought to myself that this project deserved a whole blog post about it! Are you curious? Than keep on reading!
Estes cadernos A6 fazem parte dum conjunto de 20 cadernos encomendados pela Ana Ferreira.
O objectivo era criar uma pequena lembrança para amigos e familiares que anunciasse o nascimento da pequena Teresa!
\\
These A6 notebooks do part of custom order made by Ana Ferreira. The goal of these 20 notebooks was to create a little gift for friends and family that at the same announce the new family member - Teresa.
A ilustração reúne duas paixões dos pais da pequena Teresa - pássaros e viagens! Em termos de cores a Ana deixou-me à vontade (só me pediu para que não fosse usado o típico cor-de-rosa).
\\
The illustrations gather passions from both parents - birds and travels! In terms of colours Ana gave me total freedom (she only ask me to don't use the typical pink).
Os cadernos foram cosidos à mão com linha azul (a condizer com o pássaro). O recheio é num papel mais grosso (120gr) que o habitual (80gr). E na primeira página foi acrescentada uma mensagem personalizada.
\\
The notebooks we're hand sewn with blue line (in a similar tone of the bird). The inside paper is thicker (120gr) than usual (80gr). And in the first page was added a custom message announcing the arrival of the baby and thanking people for making part of their lives.
Quando faço impressões para cadernos não unitários tenho sempre o cuidado de fazer a mais, pois podem sempre acontecer acidentes durante o corte ou nos remates. Felizmente, desta vez, não houve nenhum percalço - e à última da hora quando estava a embalar os cadernos lembrei-me de fazer dois postais e dois marcadores de livros com as sobras (ou com as impressões de reserva ;) )
Digam-me nos comentários:
- o que acharam desta ideia de um caderninho para anunciar o nascimento de um bebé ?
- e o que acharam do resultado final.
Até breve!

When I print the covers for notebooks that are not one of a kind, I always print a few more, just in case some accident happen. Fortunately, this time, there were no accidents - and when I was packing the notebooks I had the idea of creating with the remain prints two postcards and two book markers.
Let me know in the comments:
- what do you think of the idea of having a notebook to announce a baby's birth?
- and your thoughts on the final result of this project.
