Mushrooms and glow...

Cavallino alato01

" In the wake of "winged horses and unicorns", here you find another little one who is relaxing on a mushroom, watching moths and fireflies dancing in the dark.
I tried to give a magical atmosphere with strange plants and lots of glows. ^_^

Techniques used: ink & PC"





"I recently tried to use also this work for a pair of Sneakers... Simply Magical! HIHIHIHI! ^_^"

Pattern and personal ideas! ^_^

Pattern01
"As I said in the previous post, I would love to create objects that have my unicorns and winged horses on them.
For this reason, I designed a pattern with all of this cute creatures in a chaotic way. Of course I'll probably make more patterns, this is only the beginning! ;)

So, I thought: how about imagine a pair of "Converse" (of course I took the image of "Converse" in the internet) with this pattern, for examples? Would you buy something like this?  I'd love to!!! ^_^ <3
Tecnique used: PC."

Colorful Unicorns & Winged Horses

Unicorni e Cavallini alati01

"In the last weeks I only drew Unicorns and winged horses of every type and color in a simple - and cute! *__* - way...
It all happened because my sister told me that she wanted to celebrate her daughter's birthday using Unicorns as party theme, and asked if I was able to help her with the decorations...
...So, I started by drawing some few tiny Unicorns and then I continued with the winged horses.
... Now I like them so much that I would love to make a collections of objects and clothes (first of all pajamas.... because I really have a thing for pajamas! XD) about them! This would be a dream! <3
These are the main type that I drew so far... As you can see their wings are of different type of animals and insects.
Drawing them is so fun! :D

Puppies in the garden

Cane e Gatto01
"I drew those two by taking the hint from my current dog and my former cat, imagining them as puppies.
I'm going to turn them into two little painting to hang on my kitchen wall...well, this was the first idea... I still don't know if I'm really going to do so! :P EHEHE!

Tecniques used: colored pencils & watercolors."

Passionflower's Fairy-Dragon

Draghetto03

"I thought that it would be nice to make a series of painting about Fairy-Dragons and Flowers.
So, after the Roses, I decide to draw one of my favorite flowers: the Passionflower.
Since Passionflowers have a very exotic appearance, I imagined that their Fairy-Dragons (who are also their guardians and caretakers), should camouflaging like many exotic animal are used to, in order to survive. ^_^
It took me about 7 hours to finish it.
I can't wait to draw another Fairy-Dragon... I only need to decide which flower should I chose...Uhm.... It's hard! XD

Tacniques used: colored pencils, watercolors and poster paint on canvas."

The Lazy Bee

L'ape pigra01

"Now that the illustrators that will be exposed in this year's gallery at the Children's book fair in Bologna are chosen (and - of course - I'm sadly not one of them), I can show one of the 5 illustrations that I sent, here on my blog. ^_^
I'll post my favorite: the snake and the bee.
The theme is taken from one of Horacio Quiroga's tales described in the book South American Jungle Tales, in particular The lazy bee.
It took me several hours to finish it, because I used a very slow tecnique, which is engraving on cardboard.
All the white parts that you can see in fact, are in reality a hole on the cardboard.
Even if I wasn't chosen, I'm still happy because I had fun to do my illustrations, so I'm proud that I have tried my best. EHEHEH!

Tecnique used: engraving on black cardboard."

Roses Fairy-Dragon

Draghetto02
"In the last weeks I found myself drawing cute dragons everywhere! (Well, actually I TRY to make them cute... ^_^' eheheh!).
This time I tried to represent a Fairy-Dragon (so a simple dragon but with butterfly wings).
I decided to draw it in a rose garden because I'm not so good in draw roses (they usually seem like a bunch of savoy cabbages! BUAHAHAHAHAH!  Dreadful! XD), so it was also an excuse to improve. ^_^
It took me 2 days to finish it, but it was quite fun to colour it!

Tecnique used: watercolors, coloured pencils and poster paint on canvas."
