Sketchbook: Sleeping Beauty

Black Indian ink and watercolor. Thinking of the popular ballet...

Watercolors...again!

Many others are to come...

New finished art and new features...

If you're following me on Facebook or Flickr you already have noticed I posted many new images recently. I also updated my website, event though I probably will change the image layout as soon as possible - I'm currently working on a new watercolored image for it! Anyway, I'd like to give you some extra information about the latest illustrations, I know people are usually quite curious about the process of making a new image.
Let's start with 'Like a Fairy tale...' or 'In a Forest pitch Dark' - you see, I have two titles for the same image ^_^ Ok, the second one is actually taken from a song by Bjork...so, this is not my own work ^_^

This image is strongly based on another one I did almost a year ago. You can read about it there. I liked so much the crown that I thought to draw again it! Though, this time I didn't draw a fanart, but a character of mine, another fairytale inspired maiden...I'm quite obsessive with old folktales, you see ^_^ This time, I wanted to focus more on the dichotomy between light and dark. There's not any religious or deep meaning in this, it's just an artistic/aesthetic choice. And I hope you'll like the illustration!

And a little bit about 'Flora', too. I have a weakness for European natural history paintings and their subjects. I love drawing nature. I suppose this was the main reason for why I decide to draw fairy subjects, years ago. Anyway, I drew 'Flora' for a charity project. I will give you more information on this soon!

Finally, on August 3rd I got a new Daily Deviation on deviantart and 'Floating on a Sweet Lullaby' was Daily Art of the Day on EBSQ main site. It was a very nice surprise...especially because I realized about the DD only three days after I got it ^_^ Ah, busy times!

Doodles...

Re-freshed a little bit the layout of my blog! Below, the illustration I used as 'banner' of the blog plus some other drawings and doodles. All done in Black Indian Ink and watercolors.
