Bored Panda reached out to Lucas and asked him some questions regarding his series. First, we were wondering how the artist comes up with ideas for his new comics. We learned that: “My ideas come from references in comics, cartoons, films... and things that happen in my own routine.”
Asked to describe his artistic style, Nascimento shared with us: “My style is mainly based on Dragon Ball and the Justice League, Batman and Superman animated series. At first, I didn't worry much about the quality of the drawings. I focused more on the jokes in the stories. A few years later I decided that the art deserved a better finish.”
We were also eager to find out what had been the most memorable or unexpected reaction the artist received from his audience. Lucas said: “A reader once sent a message saying that his life was difficult. He worked during the day and had problems at home. That was the only moment of relaxation he had at the end of the day when he sat down to see if there was any new story.”
Lastly, we asked the cartoonist what advice he could give to other aspiring artists who want to create their own comics or illustrations. The author of ‘Dragonarte’ told us: “Trying to recreate the artwork of the great names in art and comics is a great way to learn and create your own style.
To conclude, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to talk a little about my work and what inspires me.”
