Grand Central in cartoon

I know I know

I wasn't posting from so much time. I'm sorry about that, but in this job lot of time what we do is secret 'till the day is gonnabe published. And sometimes our time is not enough to do more than our job!

I'm so proud to say that I'm doing some art for my ex english teacher that now is a singer for the group "Grand Central" !
This group is from "in my opinion" the best place in the world -----> London!

They are terrifically super amazing and I love to take part of this project!!!

For now this is the first one, talking with Cade we're going to do something more (please God, give me some more hours everyday )!

Please guys and gales,

go to their website and look around!

Train Sketches

I went to Milano by train,
I was going to sleep but to many people made to much noisy so..
I decided to do some sketches for some ideas I have in mind!

being a superhero!

Sometimes we would like to have superpower.

Sometimes we'd like to be a superhero.

Sometimes we have an assignment: draw yourself as a superhero.

ok. This is it! I've found these sketches I did some months ago, I like to share them to you.

I would like to be a superhero. But just because of the clothes. Maybe.

Michelangelo's David is a perfect place for Lunch time!

Ciao everyone!
I did this drawing for the Bobby CHiu contest, I'd like to make another one but I am very superbusy, working on a book for Geronimo Stilton and on another project that for now is kind of secret :-) Coming back to Italy was also kind of confusing to me, I'm feeling that I need some time to re-organize myself and see what is (and what is not) as before here.

THe topic was : your own take of a classic statue. First think was David of Michelangelo, one of my favourite statue I've seen so many times in my favourite italian place: Firenze!

And.. that's it!

I hope you guys will have a supernice week end!

I WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I can't believe it!!!
I've finally won the Bobby Chiu contest!!! WOW! I'm waiting for his original drawing now, dedicated to me!!! WOWWWWW!!
SUPER WOOWWW! Thanks Bobby these contests helped me a lot to improve my skills! So.. doubled prize!
ok..

Here we go! This is the drawing I did in 30 minutes ( plus 15 for scan that and put it in photoshop + uploading stuff and bla bla bla) The topic was : Die with your Boots on!

Thank you for the sketchoholic gang that voted for me! I love you guys! Everyone did a wonderful job!

(My favorite was the one with Wonderwoman)

Sketchoholic Humberto Ramos!!! Fairy Quest!

A very inspiring contest this one,
I didn't have time to make 2 but I did my best to do at least 1!

I'm finally Back!

Hello everyone!

After 1 year and an Half I'm finally back home! I don't know how long I'm going to stay here, it probably depends by job opportunities and destiny!

I did this doodle during the flight.- I was dreaming my guitar (finally)!

I did the Alberto RuiZ Contest

Hello Everyone!
For today Bobby CHiu's interview the guest was.... ta-daaaa! ALberto Ruiz! He talked about self publishing and now I know something more! Every interview I feel better, with lots of ideas, positivity and knowledges!

This time The topic was a collage of girls.. I didn't understand well what he was meaning with that... I mean.. A collage of girls.. Is it a collage? Because everyone did different.. I decided to go on and doing an actual collage with paper.. After that I did one digitally.- With the last one I won!!!! So, thanks to Alberto Ruiiz and thanks to who voted for my picture!

Doing collage helps a lot to push the siloutte and to understand the colors (actually I don't like what I did.. But at least I understood why :-))

Ok, I'm going to the gym now.. I have to pump blood to my brain :-)

CIAOOooOOoo

Crocodile eats the tiger verion n°2

Hello everyone!

I did another version of the crocodile eating the tiger, with a close up, I don't know, just for fun!
The first idae was to treat the Crocodile's teeth as a cage for the tiger, then, talking with my friend "quellobianco" ( a crocodile is famous because he has a lot of teeth but not because of the lenght of them) I did the final version a little bit different.-

Ciao!

Dream

For the last contest I did, about the bunny girl and the animal I did this other sketch.
I found it interesting and so even if the contest is past I decided to finalized it.- Of corse, it's not a bunny girl anymore.-
I decided to add on her hair a special hairclip, I made a version with a butterfly, one with a strawberry, one with an octopuss.
Special thanks to my friend Giuditta that gave me the idea to make it a Cupcake :-)

Can slugs play guitar?

I was chatting with my buddy Tommi while I was doing a drawing (that I'm going to post tomorrow) and there was an empty space there.- I asked him, ehi Tommy, tell me some animal I can draw to fill that space. He told me, make a slug, slugs are funny every time! I was wondering how to make that slug and I told him, ehi, I'm going to make a slug playing a guitar!

After a while he asked me, ehi Fra, Slugs don't have arms, how can they play guitar? And did this stupid concept that made me laught :-) I hope you're going to like it as well!

I also did the color version, Tommaso sent me his own color version, a kind of Psychedelic one, very funny as well!
Ok, I'm going back to work now,
CIAOOOOOO!

A new contest with Fransisco Herrera (one of my favourite Marvel Comic Artist!)

Ehi!!!
I'm so Happy that I'm going to listen for live! Fransisco Herrera interviewed by Bobby Chiu!
That's so cool! So this are the 2 drawings I did for the contest : Create an illustration of a 'Sexy Bunny Girl with a Crazy Animal'
I did the last one first and then I didn't like it and made the other one!
You can also see the ruff drawings I did (and that I start everytime making smaller legs when I draw girls :-))
I hope you like it!
CIAOOOO

Story Bird!

Because I'm graduated not more than 2 monts ago I do am eligible for the Pixar internship. That's something that I couldn't lose. I decided to do something and.. Do you know when people says that we also have to be lucky? I totally agree! I am lucky because I met such a good teachers out there, and I have a lot of friends that gave me some energy when I was feeling to leave everything! I would like to say a very Special thank to Mark Pudleiner that told me why and how.- Thank you Mark! Another Especial MEGA THANK YOU to Clint Morris Jalopy, who all the time spend a lot of good words for me, giving me courage and strenght ! I also had a time when I was going to leave this work, 'cause I was feeling not able to do it.
Thank you Moni and Vale(my sister) to tell me to keep doing it! And thanks to everyone gave me a lot of good comment on my drawings.

So, at the end of this story. Even if I won't be choosen by Pixar I think start doing this work, keep going and finish it was something that worth it! I don't wanna look like cheesy but.. I'm already a winner, 'case I did it! And now it's time to go back and fix what doesn't work ;-)



Here some ruff I did of the characters.-

CLeaning Up

I would really like to work for Pixar. I met some of those guys. I'm thinking how much we can learn working in a place like that.
Because of the Interniship deadline submission,
I have to clean up the storyboard I did...... before Tuesday.
I hope it's gonnabe good enough. Enough to be better than 1000000 other people and win that prize..... NAAAAAAAAAA!
There's so many people out there that are CRAZY GOOD!
But if we don't buy the ticket, we won't NEVER win the lottery, right?
I'd like to have some feedback, at least to now how to make what I did better and....
....you know..
..............Try it again?

YATTAcoffee :-)

Chatting with my buddy Tommaso,
I had some crits about the way I finalize my drawings. He told me to push more and to try to leave my ruff taste.-
Ok.
He's totally right so from today on, I'll try to do that as much I can. And because I was going to start a little project in my mind I went to Blenz coffe and I tryed to do some sketches.
I can't talk about that for now 'cause it's a secret project but just to make you a little bit of curiosity... I called that sketchy hour Yattacoffe :-)

Insane Turtle-man

TOday's secret ChiuStrem contest was about drawing and Insane Turtle-man in one hour.- than time to upload, time start time to focus.- Pratically I did this gardbage.- Next time I wouldn't make the BG and also I'll do it in Pen.- :-)

But I had fun
!!

Croco Deviant Contest

Hello everyone!
Firstly I have to say thanks to everyone who voted for me at the Travis Louie's Sketchoholic today contest; I had the first position! I was also happy to see a lot of good artists there (my favourite at all: Dalostboyz, Juanpablo Casstromora and Rapson) I had lots of fun (thank you Bobby Chiu!)

After that I finally opened a Deviantart account I am ilPusher and I had a request to take part on a contest.- I'm very busy right now but I mean.. it was so interesting! So.. I did it! I did this sketch first:



I realized that the proportions of this crocodile were to boring.- Then I worked a little bit more and I did this:




I did another sketch for the same contest, I'll try to do it tomorrow (or this weekend).- I also have a secret project that I'm going to tell you soon!

Thanks for watching me!!
