Matheus Toscano loves old-school, 8-bit video games, and he loves football. Toscano tells me he used to make his drawings with MS Paint, but has since switched to an iPad and stylus, using the app Sprite Something. I start with their shape, then adjust details such as team shirt, shading, etc. Once I have all elements, I put them in a pitch background, to compose the scene. The results are a funny mix of caricature and realism, crystalizing the biggest moments of the World Cup in weird and unique ways. The drawings have just enough information to communicate the players and the scene, which Toscano says is a great feature of 8-bit art.
