Interior samples

A look inside The Black Book

Seemingly cute characters share the pages with hoods, masks, tentacles, scars and small unsettling details. These illustrations work equally well with muted palettes and intense color combinations.

Characters with a hidden story

Clothes, masks and large shadow areas let you experiment with contrast while preserving the character’s expression.

Tentacles and signs of corruption appear on different characters, visually connecting the pages to the story of the series.

Your version of the character

The story does not choose your colors

Each drawing begins with a character trapped in this dark universe, but the final palette is up to you. That is where the fun really begins.

Restore the color Use bright, luminous hues to imagine what the character looked like before becoming trapped by the ink.
Embrace the darkness Blacks, grays, violets, muted greens and deep reds can take the illustration in a much darker direction.
Create another story There is no single correct version. Color can turn each character into something completely different.
Grow the collection Black Book Series is conceived as a saga in which drawings, characters and events belong to the same universe.

From white to color

Everyone ends up telling a different story

One of my favorite things about this series is seeing how the same universe changes in other people’s hands.

The Sea of a Thousand Colors

The universe began in a place where pigments, light and creatures coexist in a balance far older than The Black Book itself.

The story continues whenever someone colors
