Smooth statment:

This blog consists of various travel drawings made in situ. Since then, these drawings have not been edited, except for the occasional trimming/cut here and there.

These drawings were made in several locations and on different occasions, and as of such, pertain to a specific place and time. As graphic objects, they reflect the direct possibility of drawing, THEN.

Os desenhos forma feitos em muitos locais e ocasiões como parte de estar naqueles sítios e naqueles momentos. Como objectos gráficos reflectem, a possibilidade de desenhar directamente, ENTÃO.

Caro Professor,

foi com enorme prazer e reforçada admiração que saí da exposição dos seus cadernos. A disciplina e a coragem de cultivar um hábito expressivo resultaram, no seu caso, em páginas notáveis extraídas dum quotidiano se não comum, pelo menos relativamente normal. Ao fim destes anos todos é reconfortante perceber que nos continua a dar lições…
Parabéns e obrigado pela partilha,
Abraço,

Filipe Leal de Faria

Prezado Eduardo,
Sou aquela professora de Brasília-Brasil que te convidou para participar de minha banca final de doutoramento.
Particularmente muito me encanta seus desenho e reafirma a tese que defendo.
São BELOS seus desenhos !

Em tudo o que vemos aprendemos algo, mas neste caso aprende-se muito.
Obrigada por partilhar a sua arte, eu estou no inicio e desejo um dia chegar ao ponto 🙂
Tive a sorte de ter dito o João Catarino como professor, estou a estudar pintura na Ar.co
Agora o caminho é longo.
Gostaria de o adicionar no meu blog, espero que não se importe…é algo singelo, mas feito com paixão.
Cumprimentos

Olá Eduardo Corte-Real,

Nós somos estudantes de Design do Produto, no Intituto Politécnico de Viana do Castelo, e estamos a fazer um trabalho sobre Urban Sketchers. Gostariamos de lhe pedir a sua colaboração nesta área, uma vez que segundo esta página: http://www.urbansketchers.org/p/membership.html
faz parte deste movimento.
Deixo aqui o nosso questionário e email.
Desde já muito obrigada,
Joana Ferreira e Bárbara Costa

I enjoy your travel drawings greatly. I’m trying to build up a collection of my own. So far, I’ve drawn much of Latin America. Maybe you can take a look and let me know what you think–I would greatly appreciate criticism. Here I am: velabas.com

Hi Stefi,
Thanks for your comment. Your drawings have an illustration quality that works very well. The strong blacks are very pictorial without being “noisy”. I hope you liked Lisbon. Unfortunatly My book is sold out even in Portugal. Perhaps you could try the publisher to geral@livroshorizonte.pt.

Hello Eduardo,

I’m a graphic design student from Chile at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, I’ve been looking at your work on your wordpress blog and googled you since me and my class are studying several casses of “carnet de voyage”, I defenitely liked your sketches, and I was wondering what is the format of your sketchbooks (size and material) and if you have any printed work or book I could find at a bookstore ( I see you have a book published what is it called? does it have any sketches?)

Thanks in advance, looking forward to your reply.

Dear Daniela,
Thanks for your interest.
I have two published books in which you can see my sketches. I think you can order them directly to the Editor “Livros Horizonte” through the internet. The one you should be interested is called “The Smooth Guide to Travel Drawing” and features around 1200 travel sketches.
I hope to see you same day in Valparaíso or here in Lisboa.
Since I teach also in a University IADE-U http://www.iade.pt, maybe one day your school and ours may have an exchange agreement.
Best regards,
Eduardo
