Quick sketch, ink on paper.

Arya Stark

It's been a while, sorry guys!
But here I am with my design of blind and brave Arya Stark, from Game of Thrones. I got inspired from the Character Design Challenge theme of this month. 

Here a detail of the face. 

As usual, any critiques are more than welcome :)

Vikings, vikings everywhere!

Hello there, 

it's been a while, sorry. I've been busy with work and making a new portfolio for the StoryDesign Conference I went to see in Rome(which was amazing! I will make a post soon about it, hopefully :D ).
At the moment, here some designs I've been working in the last months: I was trying to take one topic and make different style out of it. Maybe a bit too mixing, so now I'm trying to have just one character and re-draw it in diff styles. I'll keep you update!

Roller-derby girl

I finally finish to clean-up a sketch I did few months ago. I can't wait to colour it but I will probably take a while again.
Sorry, I've been quite busy with work and trying to update my Portfolio. Hopefully, some new posts soon!

Btw, if anyone want to colour it, please let me know in a comment and credit me in your work.

A little comic strip of a tipical "panic moment showing your shot to your superiors. I know some people can understand me well.

We won!

Few weeks ago I published a post about the nomination of my film "Riflesso" at the RTS Awards. The event was last night and... we won! 

So unexpected as fantastic, such a good night.

Thank you so much to my team and my Uni for those moments.

Here a nice article by my University: link

"Riflesso" nominated to the RTS Awards

Finally I'm going to post something about the student film I wrote and directed last year (2015).

I'm happy to say that "Riflesso" is been nominated at the Royal Television Society Awards. So proud of my team!

Soon it's going to be possible to see it on vimeo at AUB Animation page. Meanwhile, here it's the 2015 Graduation Showreel from my course.
Here below, some sneaky peak at some shot.

Rey

Well, I just watched the new Star Wars...

Are you scared?

Amazon Warrior sketch

My Amazon Warrior, half sketched at work, half at home...

I tried to do some poses, but I need more practice on it.

Did you know that mythology says that Amazon warriors used to cut off (or burnt out D: ) the right breast to be better archers? 

So, yea, my one has one boob.

More Life Drawing

Trying new life drawing class in London.

Back to life drawing

It's been a long time but I finally manage to go back to do some life Drawing!
After finishing the intense final year of uni and finding my first job in London, I realised it's almost a year that I don't spend some time doing life drawing with a model.
Fortunately, some of my colleagues still keep practicing it so, I followed them on one of the lessons.
It was sad to feel so rusty but slowly slowly I started to enjoy it again.
Here just a few of them (the most successful in my opinion).


  

Piè

Few weeks ago I found in my computer a sketch I did last year. I decided to get back to it and at least gave it some colours.

I'm trying to use more colours because I don't feel really comfortable with them.
Well, I hope you like it :)

11th day

Well, not finished but done for me. Tomorrow I need to start a new one. Enjoy!

9th and 10th days

Yesterday I started "Judith and the head of Holofernes" (Judith I) by Gustav Klimt. An amazing and detailed work that needs its time to be studied and reproduced.

Unfortunately the quality of the pictures I found on internet were not good enough to make me understand the way Klimt used to paint, but I could notice he painted with really small brush strokes... This means it was hell to understand all the colours he used! At the same time I can't wait to finish it.

I've planned to finish it (or at least stop it) by tomorrow. I'll keep you update ;)

8th day

As I said previously, after my day of research, I decided to study Gustav Klimt and his fascinating style.
I planned that each first day of a master study will be spent in sketches.
So many nice poses!

7th day_Research

Unfortunately, today I couldn't work. Not because I was not in the right mood or anything, but because I didn't have everything I needed to start with.
I will explain myself. In my day by day list for my art challenge, today I decided to start a new Master study.
My problem? I didn't know who to choose!
I spent most of my day researching different artist, from the old age to the contemporaneity. I wanted to practice so many different aspects and there were to many good artists.
In the end, I realised I didn't have time to draw. But I'm still thinking I didn't waste my time: research it's always really important for improving and in the end I found my next Master study.

For tomorrow I will researching Gustav Klimt and his beautiful drawings and paintings!
