ani-mall

If you look down you'll noticed that some days are missed.
Why I missed them?
I didn't miss them, but I'll use them to make a surprise, so, to avoid "spoilers", I cannot post them, sorry... You'll see them in time ;)
(too many "them" in this sentence XD

Anyway, starting from...

Thursday:
I was standing in the doctor queue and I was trying to find inspiration from people/objects in the room, while I noticed on the ceiling this strange, rounded lamp that seemed to watching me...




Saturday:
This just came out by itself... eventually, it was supposed to be a fish, at the beginning XD



Sunday:
This was made in a Bologna bar, in via Zamboni, as I was taking an hot chocolate (that later gave me many digestive problems -.- ) with a Lady ^^
She suggested a dust mite, that in italian is "acaro" and it came out to be an HACKER-o. :P
(made on a paper tovel, 'cause I didn't had any kind of paper with me)



Monday:
And today animal, the swan, James Swan, I'll say, as it kept a Bond looking, dunno why...
Inspired by the same Lady of the day before. :)



See you soon, guys :*

lunedì 8 novembre 2010

:P

I've understood one thing, in theeeeeeese days: I'm able to drawing something every day, BUT I'm not able to update the blog each day! XD
So, in order, here are my latest sketch :)

Friday:
A little, hungry dormouse ^^
I used a photo as reference...



Saurday:
This was made on the train from San Giovanni to Bologna saturday night, as I was reaching some good friends there for some pub_chatting ^^
It was quite my expression when I realized a thing about passed and future new year's day...



Sunday:

This all started with a friend of mine asking for a zebra (yeah, I know that this is not a zebra, but let me explain...).
As my first attempt came out as a big nasty mix of lines, I started a new one, near the first.
But, as I made eyes and muzzle, I thought "You're not a zebra, you're a reptile, my friend!" and he just popped out of my pen ^^



Monday:

And here we come, today...
I just made a tiny scribble (on the left) and transformed it in a little rabbit :)



(I used to do this game with a friend of mine at middle school... lot of fun and never listening to the teacher XD )

Hope you enjoy ;)

venerdì 5 novembre 2010

:)

Just for fun, in a friday night at home...

ups!

Yes, yesteday I forgot about my daily post :P
Probably being away all the day influenced my memory XD
Anyway, just to keep the rhythm, here are two things:

The first one (yesterday drawing) is an echidnas (yes, I'm becoming a fan of this chubby animal ^^ )



The second is and experiment: I made firt the pencil drawing, then inked it, then made a scan and finally, while I was getting to coulour it as usual, accidentally, I removed the black-line level and, WO!, it worked even without it, why couldn't I try a different thing? And that's it!
Ok, it's not perfect, not even good, but it's a try ;)



P.S. this fellon came out in my dreams this night, I dreamed of having a little baby duck as a pet... don't ask why XD

enjoy!

giant ?

This just came out today, while I was thinking about how to get a good painting from my pencil illustrations... :)
Yes, we're working for the Bologna Children's Book Fair... hope you like, just a strange worm ^^

after Lucca...?

So I went back... without a job, but filled with inspirational works... ^^
And, just to copy around, why shouldn't I do (or try at least) as Chris Ayers (www.chrisayersdesign.com)?
He's a great artist and a mindmotivator for me ^^
His job is amazing and plus, he's an animal lover as I am :)
So, here we are, a Yeeeeeah-na done today!
I know, is black&white, again... but I'm working on it... hope to get it coloured in a satisfactoryl way as soon as possible!

Enjoy... ^_^
