HOW / TO DRAW / LEGS

How to draw legs

Put a bad weather with cold and wind, a cup of tea, a warm plaid and a pencil...

Here you are! A perfect moment to do some exercises!

Until now I've been always inspired by portraits, details, eyes, etc... but I decided to go away and do practice with other body's parts like legs. 

I took some helps by anatomic books, modeling, web, and photographs. 

There are a lot of ways to improve your drawing here:

+ joshuanava

+ webneel

For this sketch I used, pencil HB | 2B | 4B, rubber, and paper smudge. 

VOGUE / ZARA / PORTRAIT / FASHIONWEEK

Tell me a story

"Portraits Zara model inspiration" | Luana Berti 2016 - graphite on paper

Leafing the new Zara collection I'm completely impressed from happy portraits, great smiles, and expressive eyes. 
This is the gender which I prefer. And since we are in full fashion week 
I can't stop to look collections and fashion photographes. 

"Psychedelic" | Luana Berti 2016 - graphite and watercolours on paper 

The first detail that I look in a picture is the expression, if it tells a story or if it is just a beautiful shoot. 
It must give me something. There are a lot of wonderful pictures in photography 
but just a few are able to tell a story. These are only few pictures 
that captured my attention while a was looking for a story. And you? What do you think about it?

"Veniva continuamente sopraffatta dal dubbio che il treno stesse andando all'indietro o in avanti o fosse fermo. Era Annuška quella che stava accanto a lei? O era un'estranea? Cos'è quella cosa sul bracciolo, una pelliccia o un animale? 
E io chi sono, sono io o sono un'altra?"

dal libro "Anna Karenina" di Lev Nikolaevic Tolstoj

PENCIL / PORTRAIT

PENCIL PORTRAIT

Amo disegnare ritratti a matita e miei preferiti sono i profili. 

Per questo schizzo ho utilizzato matite morbide  2B, 8B e sfumino. 

Questo ritratto è per Anul, spero ti piaccia! 

Vi auguro un belissimo sabato! Abbracci! 

I really love drawing portrait and my favourite are the profiles. 

For this sketch I used 2B, 8B soft pensils, rubber and a smudge. 

This portrait is for Anul, hope you like it! 

I wish a wonderful saturday! Hugs! 

WATERCOLOR / SKETCH / SKETCHBOOK

Watercolor • Sketch & exercises

Per la realizzazione di questa tavola mi sono ispirata ad un lavoro ad acquerello di Agnes Cecile, un'artista che adoro e stimo molto. L'uso dell'acquerello è decisamente rilassante e stimolante, mi diverte molto l'accostamento di colori contrastanti tra loro l'effetto è magico.
Anche Apple ha apprezzato la fine dei lavori! ;D

To realize this table I was inspired by an Agnes Cecile'watercolor work, she is an artist who I love and esteem Very much. Work with watercolors is very relaxing and challenging, I enjoy the juxtaposition of contrasting colors Each Other. The Effect is Magic. Apple has also appreciated the fine Works ! ; D

When drawing is not a thing to do but something which you need. 

La notte è davvero il momento migliore per lavorare. Tutte le idee sono lì per essere tue perché tutti gli altri dormono. (Catherine O’Hara)

 I drew these sketches last night. Doing some exercises is always a great way to relax my mind. 

In this portrait I used, pencil, marker, and rubber.
Hope you like it. 

WHY / CHOOSE / OPEN / BLOG

Why I choose to open a blog 

A lot of friends asked to me why I choose to open a blog: 

-"Where are you going to go with your sketches?"- ; - "Why are you photographing your drawings?"

In this post I'm going to answer at these questions 

Surfing in to the web I found a very interesting blog who tells about your free time, and what do you do to relax. "Do something each day that you can 

look forward to. Something that you like, not because it helps you reach your goals, but just because it’s fun."

I have drawn since I started to take a pencil in my hands. When I was a child my mum used give to me a sketchbook and a lot of markers of different colours 

to pass my free time.
