Doodlin' waitin' for lunch time.-

Hello everyone!
Firstly,
thank you for watchin' my blog,
thank you so much, and sorry I'm not posting every week but the commission now are too much and everything I do is top secret 'till it'll be published.-

So, I was at the school of comics, after a meeting with the Boss (i'm gonna teach there for a while, it's gonnabe a "3 Months short corse" in flash basic animation), I had to wait 30 minutes to go for lunch with the other teachers.- So i doodled those JOSH the Cat,
I love Josh, I hope one day I'll be able to make a story of him!

I'm gonnawork for Walt Disney Company Italia!

Hi Everyone! Sorry if I didn't post from a lot but, I had 3 children's books to make and
I'm makin' on a video spot for a company in Milano.
But while I was workin' on those things, I had a call from Disney!
This was my dream from when I was 5 years old.
The place where Giorgio Cavazzano, Romano Scarpa, Stefano Intini, Fabio Celoni, Danilo Barozzi and, my favourite one, Corrado Mastantuono are from, asked me to make a test for a new project I can't tell about for now. So. We're talkin' about Disney.
When I went in THE studio that day, and I saw that 3 meters woodmade Mickey Mouse I started to cry a little bit. Actually.. I had problem to stop that :-) Sometimes dreams really comes true.

Uncle Walt was right!

I'll do my best (as everytime)!!!!!!!!!!!

Fattidichina

Hello everyone!
I hope everything is going good (at least in a creative way :-) ).-

I'm sorry if I'm not posting so much but working for big companies means that most of the time, everything I'm doing is not mine so I can't post it before they publish it. I'll be superbusy untill december (for now) so... I hope to find time to make something for myself, like an illustration or a little project (I don't know).-

So, here we go.- This is the online magazine fatti di china, I did this little short for them:



and this is the animatic I did before:




this is the thumbnail storyboard:

It's summertime!

My goal fir this summer is to learn how to drink LEMON GRANITA slower in order to avoid that problem :-)

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
