During these last crazy weeks me and Andrea, in collaboration with some of our students, worked on Christmas themed illustrations to be printed on Xmas cards and wrapping paper or hanged as decorations.
Our way to feel close to each other despite the distances!
The main issue was working together, because we all live in different Italian towns and we couldn't (and we still can't) move because of lockdown due to Covid-19.
We choose a media we all know, colored pencils and watercolor on watercolor paper,
and after sketches each one chose the preferred subject to draw.
To achieve consistency, I edited everything in Photoshop at the end.
Hope you like it!

Everything was carefully planned, and here you can see a little sample of how we worked.
Different elements combinations gave life to a lot of different subjects:
Due to the huge amount of elements we had (almost 100), I created Xmas patterns too:
