Ian Navarro’s “Patrol” artwork from DeviantArt<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gerald Garcia, Erickson de la Rosa, and Ian Navarro were the three Filipino artists whose artworks were showcased\u00a0at the 2014 Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo held in Canada.<\/p>\n

Garcia, in an interview with ABS-CBN News, shared that he makes it a point to join as many \u201cconventions and shows\u201d as possible.<\/p>\n

While Garcia utilizes pen and ink for his masterpiece, De la Rosa, whose style is “loose and sketchy,” makes use of brushes and paints.<\/p>\n

Navarro, another Pinoy who exhibited his artworks in Calgary, is known for his modern and colorful vibe artworks.<\/p>\n

Message to aspiring artists<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dela Rosa believes that practice makes perfect.<\/p>\n

“Just draw every day. Practice all the time because actually all the successful artists in the comic book industry (do that),” he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Navarro considers his love for DC and Marvel comics as an advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are attracted to my artworks because I grew up with lots of DC and Marvel comics so my style kinda leans towards that,” he shared.<\/p>\n

Navarro added that promoting one’s artworks can definitely make wonders to an artist’s career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI promote my art mostly through conventions and online websites like Twitter and Deviant Art. I\u2019m working on a calendar with the zombies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
