How did you get into drawing sketch cards?
The first time I heard about sketch cards it was in the Otis Frampton blog. He had lots of videos with the process of his cards and I thought: “Hey, I can do this!”. But I had no idea of how to start. So I began to investigate about that business, and that took me to the Scoundrel forum where I read tons of threads to learn about the artists, companies, how to submit my work, and all that. Then I started a thread to show my work. The same I submitted to the companies. Months passed waiting for my first project and nobody called me. Finally, when I was about to give up, I read a comment by Mark Slater in his Facebook page about the Cult-Stuff company. I had nothing to loose so I submitted them a few samples. And the same day I recieve the offer to work in the sets they were preparing.

What is your favorite subject to draw?
I like characters of epic fantasy as Conan or Red Sonja and Nordic mythology.
What is your favorite character to draw?
Thor.
Do you prefer black & white sketches or color sketches?
To draw I prefer color. To buy I don’t mind if the sketch is in b/w or color.

What kind of materials do you prefer to work with?
I work mainly with markers mixed with color pencils to get the colors I don’t have in markers. Also I use white ink for bright effects. I can work with acrylics and watercolors too, but aren’t materials I use the most.
Who is your favorite sketch card artist?
I’ve got lots of them: Otis Frampton, Mark Slater, Katie Cook, Hanie Mohd, Melike Akar… but the one I like the most is Jason Keith Phillips (Mayonnaise & Bread). His work is awesome. He’s a very talented artist. Love his style.
What are you currently working on?
I am doing The Avengers and Doctor Who for Strictly Ink. And I will do two sets for their new company Unstoppable Cards.

Has your career as an artist benefited from doing sketch card work?
Absolutely, because before sketch cards I never had anything published. And since I never received any art education, the contact with other artists makes me to improve my skills learning from them.
Do you collect trading cards for yourself?
I’ve got a little collection of sketch cards, and I hope that it grows in the future.
Do you have a website / blog / online presence where readers can find more information about you?
They can go to my Deviantart page: http://reznorix.deviantart.com/ and can buy sketches and commissions in my online store: http://reznorix.ecrater.com/
