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!

Holiday by the sea

So long no sea.

Blues River Notes

 

Since I'm spending more and more time dancing this is also inspiring me in other aspect of my life... like drawing. This artwork is an idea to promote our blues-dance community in Milan, a really small but passionate group. I would love to silk-print it on some t-shirt and bags but I don't know if will' be able to have any budget for that.. ç_ç Let's hope!

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...

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

Of flesh and bones

I realized that it's useless to bring my sketch book on holiday with me, I'm not able to concentrate and find the time to draw when everything around me is terribly interesting and new. Despite wandering around on tumbler is very inspiring, there are tons of beautiful photos, every time I open my dashboard it gives me the will to draw. The last image is a bit different, it's a "copy" of a photo they made to a friend and me at Tempelhof park in Berlin.

30 day drawing challenge

Now that my studies are over and I've more free time, I've decided to do a drawing challenge: draw one hour a day for all May. I will not follow a schedule, just doodling and finishing and rearranging old stuff, like this drawing...

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.

Also rocks have a perspective

I haven't done much more than nothing this month... but in the end I've something to update!
It's a work a friend asked me by commission for his indi magazine Crossover.
In a few weeks he will print a little booklet with a dozen illustration inspired by the Inferno of Dante Alighieri's "Divina Commedia". This is the one I've done inspired by those lines:

"Lo duca e io per quel cammino ascoso 

intrammo a ritornar nel chiaro mondo; 

e sanza cura aver d'alcun riposo,

salimmo sù, el primo e io secondo, 

tanto ch'i' vidi de le cose belle 

che porta 'l ciel, per un pertugio tondo.

E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle."

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... ^^

Post Mortem

Recentemente ho avuto la fortuna di poter collaborare con una nascente rivista di fumetti, un progetto indipendente di alcuni ragazzi di Torino.
Qui il loro sito.
Mi sono quindi ritrovata a disegnare qualcosa ispirato agli zombie, in onore del tema del primo numero, non sono certo un'esperta in materia e documentarmi è stato abbastanza spassoso ^^ ma l'illustrazione più che horror è venuta fuori sullo stile un po' "pop" dei miei ultimi lavori, mi sono anche data ai retini, per vedere se ne veniva fuori qualcosa di guardabile.
Sopra vedere un'anteprima con e senza textures =)
Conclusioni: tutti quei pallini sullo schermo mi danno le vertigini, a voi?

Faster Stronger Better

Ecco un dettaglio della mia ultima fatica, ma che dico! Disegnare è una gioia!
Non mi sto assolutamente mangiando le unghie dall'ansia pensando che la giuria non guarderà il mio lavoro neanche di striscio, no no no!

Una volta incontrai un vecchietto che per curare la noia raccoglieva carciofi sulle colline, aspettando il giorno in cui saprò distinguere un carciofo da un'ortica, preferisco darmi al disegno. Via con il prossimo concorso!!!
