Welcome to Dos Illustros!

Hugo Giraud here, I want to formally welcome you to the Dos Illustros blog where George Frei and myself will try to post a sketch a week. The idea of the blog came when George and I attended this year’s San Diego Comic-con International and were trying to find a way to stay motivated after the excitement of the convention. Over lunch we decided to start posting our work regularly and publicly to keep doing something new. We both love to see artist sketchbooks and process so we thought this would also be a good way to show ours. Please feel free to make comments or ask questions!

A little bit of background: both George and I are currently educators at Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL where we teach traditional and digital art to future print & motion designers. I’ve worked in the animation industry since 1997 and have also done illustration, design, and fine art. George has been an illustrator, designer, concept artist, and art director for more than 10 years.

George's 1st sketch is of a Warner Bros. Marvin the Martian skateboard on the previous page (click "Older Posts" on the bottom of this page). My sketch this week is a study for a Betty Page painting that wasn’t realized:
