Sketches from Barcelona comic book convention

Shandil · 06-03-2009, 10:10 AM

Last weekend the 27 SalÃ³n del Comic de Barcelona was celebrated here in Spain, and even though i couldn't stay until the end (it finished on Monday), I managed to get a few sketches and am really happy with them.
The only pity is not getting Jim Lee's but after seeing people waiting from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. just to find out he would only sign and not do any sketches, I can say I'm happy i didn't stand in the line and went for another sketch by EspÃ- and Nauck's.
Here are the sketches i got, i hope the images show correctly as i'm pretty bad at it.

Terry Dodson:

Death:

Mariano de la Torre:

The Thing:

Classic Hawkeye:

Lopez EspÃ-:

Captain America:

Lopez EspÃ-:

Doc Strange, although i can't manage the scanner to get a good image of it:

Nauck:

Spiderman:

Victor Santos:

Red Sonja:

Pasqual Ferry:

The Hulk (this was kind of funny because I asked for Iron Man but he told me he didn't like drawing IM so i told him to draw what he pleased, I'm definitely satisfied with what i got):

Paco DÃ-az:

Wonder Woman (i was very lucky to get this one, when i got to the con after lunch the list for this artist was already closed, but they got me into it, and then 3 people from the list never showed up when their turn arrived)

And that's it. Well actually I'm missing one sketch that i have at home and will post tomorrow.

Wow the drawings show way too big, is there any way to reduce this?

If you upload the images again on imageshack, there is "resize image" option you can check and select '640X480 for message boards' from the dropdown. It looks like you got some really nice sketches. I particularly like the Hawkeye!

Thanks whd, now they are much easier to see and won't destroy the board!

For the Hawkeye, I asked Mariano to draw his favourite character, now i'm seriously thinking about asking if he does commissions, i'd love a fantastic four one, or an original avengers...

The Red Sonja from Victor Santos is awesome. He's fantastic to deal with and produces some great art. Congrats!

Pasqual Ferry is gonna be at a con I am thinking about going to go to I was gonna ask for iron man too might have to think of something else

Was there a reason he doesn't like drawing iron man?

I think maybe he had been asked to draw too many that day and just used that excuse. However as soon as he said that I told him to draw whatever he felt comfortable with at the moment, I think it's always better to have the artist draw something he wants rather than something he doesn't want to.
One friend told me it could be because drawing Iron Man means not drawing a face with its expression so it's more boring for him, but i'm not sure if that's the reason behind this.
However I think you should just ask for Iron Man and see Pasqual's reaction.
