Stelle Fredde
A friend asked me to take part in a project of book covers re-design. The only constraint was to use a squared format. The old man on top should be Dostoevsky (and not Darwin), the second drawing it's just inspired by the name of the book "Cold Stars" and my little tarots obsession.

Souvenir de voyage
Some pages from the traveling sketchbook I took with me in US. My fav is the "Poo Temple" on the left corner of the second page, that place was the funniest!

Curves and glares



Other set of sketches done with quickposes. This time the exercise was set in poses of 90'' seconds with images from their "erotica archives". I find much more easy to draw female shapes, that gives me time to sketch both body and face... pour guys of the previous exercise... they were a bunch of no-face- man...

Squared
Some drawing I did in Varese during one of my "drawing recess weekend". We were copying some images from advertisement pages on fashion magazines. Always quite inspiring.

Shingeki no Bahamut
Some month ago I don't know how I managed to find time to watch anime and I totally felt in love with the character design of Shingeki no Bahamut, when you think of those manga with mono-expressive main characters you're not referring to Favaro. And funny fact, he's a thief, a liar and gesticulate a lot, and guess what? He has an Italian name... shit! We have a really bad reputation in my country, sigh.

Rough & Quick
I've been practicing quick sketches using quickposes.com
It's as funny as difficult, 60 seconds is nothing to define a body structure, but definitely the exercise worth it, you can easily improve and then become a fantastic itinerant sketcher and practice in the underground :p

You can buy all you can see
One month ago I took part to a little exposition and those are the illustrations I've made during a couple hour of "live drawing". They were in sold (5$ each) and in theory the one with the bear on the bike have been booked by a friend... but it seems like she has completely forget about it. If you want any you are still in time to write me and get yours... you can pay me with a "cappuccino e brioche".
Ah,ah.

Adventure in your own backyard
Today is a very special day, not only because I've finally decided to update a new drawing, but mostly because there's a specific reason if I've chose december 13th to do it.
This drawing have been loosely based on a friends of mine and today it's his birthday, so I hope he will read this post: "Bonne fête Mr. D!"
I've started to draw that picture when I was in Montréal (a long time ago) and it has take me several weeks to finish to color it... I was never satisfied and I've re-started the entire coloration three times... Still I'm not satisfied of the results, but it was time to end it.
There a link to a track from Patrick Watson that I love to listen when I think about MTL.

Some kind of magic
So much time has passed by... I've come back to my school routine that has absorbed almost all my energies..! I've found this old drawing in a forgotten folder named "unfinished work from Montréal" and I've decided to bring it to life. I'll offer some chocolate biscuits at the one who will be able to guess from that I've taken inspiration for those five characters. Come on!

Let's talk about magic
So long no see. There a little preview of the comics I'm drawing for Crossover (the Torino based fanzine). I'm so slow then I've to ink my drawings... I hate that part of the job... For more informations (and stuf) you'll wait for next post, 'cause now I'm already bored of writing in english... ^^

I saw a ghost on a sofa
The CCA (Canadian centre of architecture) is a strange building in the city center of Montreal with a odd history. The structure it's a real maze because it binds an old Victorian house with a big modern structure that contains a library and a theatre... but the strange thing is that everybody that work here is absolutely convinced that there's a ghost that haunt the centre. Bill, the night guard, told us a lot of episodes about the ghost's apparitions. So... those drawings are the result of all those stories.

Where's february gone?
Here is a character (the Princess of the Crystal, that's a silly name) from the anime Mawaru Penguindrum (that's an other silly one) in three different styles of drawing; the first one is inspired by McBess, the second has a rough pencil line I take from some illustration of new Tank Girl's comics and an art book of Ashley Wood. The third is inspired by a drawing of Claire Wendling but I wasn't able to reproduce the softness of the line and the colors of her style... neither the proportion she uses... a total fail.
But anyway it was funny to try.

Chopin - Préludes
This is the first of the two cd graphic I made for my illustration class final project.
I decide to create a cd-cover for a Chopin work: "les préludes"; my mission was to create an image that young people would appreciate, not the classic abstrait work that we usually see on classic cd-case.
I crate an evocative image following that the music inspired me.
Here the first versione and some sketches before the final version.

Look at my shoes/Scarpe going wild/J'aime mes bottes
I recently noticed a funny things, most of the visit on my blog are done searching for the word -scarpe- (shoes), but there are no images of shoes at all! Nether post where I talk about that...
So I decided to publish an old work I done for a contest that I didn't won, you can guess what the subject is: shoes, a metaphor of travelling!
Moreover I bought yesterday my new boots, that will save me from the incoming canadian winter.
Last but not least enjoy this video about boots <3

Ho dimenticato il titolo
Avendo pochi materiali di disegno sto facendo un po' di schizzi vari con le matite colorate della mia coinquilina, risalenti probabilmente alle sue elementari... Ultimamente ho visto "Where the wild things are" mi è piaciuto moltissimo il costume da mostriciattolo che ha il protagonista, ora mi metterò a disegnare orecchie appuntite a tutti i ritratti che faccio! Sto iniziando impertinentemente a fare ritratti ai miei compagni di classe, quello in alto ne è un esempio, non che sia molto rassomigliante, ma scarabocchiare a lezione aumenta la mia concentrazione.
Mi son ripromessa che il prossimo post lo scriverò in inglese per dare un tocco un po' internazionale al blog.

Reminescenze
Wow è cambiata l'interfaccia di blogger... meglio così, quella vecchia aveva uno stile proprio vetusto.
Mentre lavoravo alle nuove tavole ho ripescato per caso questo schizzo fatto al mare.
Non dico che nostalgia perché l'università qui in canada mi concede un'abbonamento gratuito alla piscina e in questi ultimi giorni il sole non manca affatto... posso sedermi sul patio della casa e fare la vecchia che guarda i passanti. Che relax.

Omicidio sulla spiaggia

Mancano 7 giorni alla mia partenza, probabilmente avrò un esaurimento nervoso molto prima visto l'andazzo delle mie procedure burocratiche... Sogno ad occhi aperti il giorno in cui navigherò nell'oro e potrò concedermi una segretaria di bella presenza che sbrighi queste cose per me.
Nel frattempo per sopravvivere alle vacanze al mare (si, perché non c'è nulla che mi stressi di più) mi sono buttata sul disegno e, miracolo, sono piuttosto soddisfatta dei risultati.
Non avendo uno scanner a portata di mano (come al solito) ho messo una bozza della prima tavola del mio fumetto che avevo sul pc praticamente per caso. Fumetto che uscirà su una una rivista amatoriale di fumetti torinese: crossover (crossoverstudio.wordpress.com)
Vive la vie.

Commenti a raso naso
Bha... Sono in ritardo, mi sono tagliata i capelli più di una settimana fa, ma non ho trovato il tempo di mettere a posto questi schizzi prima di oggi; ero esasperata dai commenti stereotipati che mi sono stati fatti. Tra l'altro ho incrociato per strada una mia conoscenza dei tempi del liceo e non mi ha neppure riconosciuto, dire che eravamo amiche strette. A quanto pare una spanna di riccioli in meno può cambiare il viso più di quanto uno si aspetta.
Una mia amica sostiene che le persone in media si riconoscono l'un l'altra per non più di tre elementi caratteristici, invece io che campo di memoria visiva tendo a riconoscere le persone anche a decenni di distanza. A pensarci nella maggior parte dei manga giapponesi l'unico elemento di diversità tra gran parte dei personaggi sono i capelli, a quanto pare ritengono che sia quello il minimo indispensabile per caratterizzare una persona.
Se fossimo tutti pelati chissà su cosa ci fisseremmo... i nasi?
(da notare queste sono importanti riflessioni di carattere artistico e non futilità) Forse.Wednesday, September 8, 2010
Sisters
Time is running out! Tra poco scadrà il terzo concorso a cui mi ero prefissata di partecipare, spero di finire il lavoro in tempo!Qui sopra la seconda tavola su tre della storia che spedirò, devo ancora decidere con esattezza come la colorerò-chinerò... bho!
Non finirò mai di ringraziare abbastanza la mia adorabbbile cuginetta per le foto che ho usato come base per i disegni, credo la somiglianza si noti =) Quanto alla storia parla di due sorelle e delle loro mielosissime storie d'amore, quindi vi faccio grazia e sorvolerò...
