Weekend Sketches
Both inspired by one of my favourite films. Trying to learn how to keep colour a little more subtle, without making the thing look too monochromatic. I think these are a step forward for me, although I'm not sure if they're stiffening up in the process.

Nice paintings I like the color. They do kind of look like screen shots from a movie with their looseness.

Very beautiful work! It's the first time I get into your blog, and I am shocked! The half hour caricatures made me jealous! You know how to use the color!
These are really nice :) I like the warmth of them.

cia0!
And you call that sketches?!For me are a couple of beautiful illustration. Compliments!! Your stuff is awesome.
Love these. I am always up for anything with that turn of the century feeling
Very nice work Marco! Great renderings!
Thanks for taking the time to comment, guys! Chaosboy - for me, a sketch is anything that I'm conceptualizing as I go, without any specific 'end' in mind. It happens quite often that my sketches look better than my finals, just becuase of that initial energy and all that other drawing jargon. It's sort of a mystery I might never solve...thanks again!
Great job Marco! I'm a big fan of old looking pictures like these. From which movie is it from?
I saw a sketch of Amelie earlier in your blog. Do you like Jean Pierre Jeunet?
Thanks Sebastien! These two were inspired by a German film called 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari'. It's beautifully designed...one of my all-time favourites. And I'm also a big fan of Jean-Pierre Jeunet! Amelie is my favourite of his, although I haven't yet seen A Very Long Engagement. It's like classical animation meets live action!
Dude, I LOVE the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. I have a soft spot for Silent films as it is, and that one is as good as it gets! These paintings are great, they really capture the mood.
these came out great. love the mood in em.
i'm just discovering this blog and i'm already a big fan! i love this woman over there...beautiful caricatures and paintings ...!!! please! i'll come back!
Only sketches? Oooh, ok... I find them absolutly wonderful, these character are very touching, and the sepia colors are amazing. Great work!
I can't believe you call these "sketches." They are beautiful and should be framed somewhere.
