Traditional art
Like all artists, I started with traditional illustrative techniques, which I still love.
I already practiced them before studying at the academy, but over the years of the illustration course they were deepened.
Let me show you:
Graphite portrait from the left: Ian McKellen, Bilbo Baggins and Thranduil from "The Hobbit" 2021/2022
Colored Pencils: Robin, Orchid and Bald Eagle (this last one was created for a museum panel)
Tempera: Eastern Bluebird Acrylic: Kingfisher and Bald Eagle Mixed Media: Landing Bald Eagle
Watercolor!

And thanks to the academy, I was able to design a book! Here are some pages:
The incipit was"The legend of the Full Moon" (hence the title of the book), which I developed in my own style.
The rudder was drawn first, then a mock-up was made and drawn in black and white.
The monochrome was then printed on A3 watercolor sheets (courtesy of the typography, I brought the sheets), corrected the tones on Photoshop (which were dull with the acquisition laser) and laid out on InDesign.

All done by me. I enjoyed so much!!!
