Artist's Comments

This is the illustration I had to made for the cover of a short tale that will be shortly published in Italy.

It is not my usual style and not even a subject I like to depict.. but, I had few choices: the editor assigned to me this short tale that is a funny and ironical love story between two kids...
so, what else I could draw??
In addition the final format is quite small (101x150 mm), Thus I couldn't add all the details I wanted...


I've already prepared the layout of final cover, but I don't have yet the permission to publish it on-line...
I hope to be able to upload it quite soon

Love the feeling to this image - makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Despite the rain that's going on, it depicts a heart-warming children's story. The line work is intricate and is a delight to behold. The coloring methods are exquisite, and nicely textured, but I feel it can be elaborated more to show the leaves rather than leaving such an important detail out. The reflection in the water adds a nice touch and the goldfish that's floating around creates an enchanting feel to the image. It can be clearly seen that the various pictures that's flying around depicts many moments - presumably showing scenes from the story, and makes you wonder about the relationship of the child and the person she is hugging. Overall, it is an amazing, fantastical work of illustration - well done!

This is definitely an image which seems to be out of the norm for you. All in all, this is a very cute image. The falling drawings which look like something a child would draw really adds to the effect of the 2 having strong feelings for each other outside the fact that they are embracing. The little details like the reflection of the children in the water, the fish, the subject matter of the floating drawings and the use of negative space really convey the point of the image without there being too much to look at. A very good piece of art.

Oh, I forgot! The texture on the trees is very, very easy! I just used very diluted color and then I put a bit of salt on the paper! ;)
