Questions and AnswersCan I publish your comic/illustration in my blog/page/slide?Yes, you can publish, print and copy my comics and illustrations freely as long as 1) You're not making money off it and 2) You put a link back to Retrazos.If you have any question or want to ask permission to use the content in a commercial way, please contact me. How do you create your drawings?Unless mentioned otherwise, everything has been drawn digitally using a Wacom Intuos3 tablet and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 or, since August 2011, PaintTool SAI. I give thanks to God for giving me this wonderful skill.What does "Retrazos" mean?I was looking for an original name, so I made a wordplay from the spanish word Trazo, which means "stroke," as in a pencil stroke. The Re prefix implies repetition, as in "redo." It kinda means to make several strokes, which is what I do when I draw. I'm no great master which makes a piece of art with one or two pencil strokes.Mind you, "Retrazos" is not a valid spanish word, just wordplay. It's similar to the real word "Retrasos," which means "delay." What does your signature mean?That's my chinese name, Wong Guó Fù, which means Rich Nation. |
