I wasn't totally happy with this as there was in my opinion something wrong, something not completely clear.

So, here it is the new version. I think it's better, and hope you think so too!

On the train back from Milan, where I went some weeks ago, this girl fall asleep on the seat in front of me. Actually every time her cell was beeping she rapidly answered, and more than one time I suspected she wasn't sleeping at all.

Later I couldn't resist to sketch at least one of her amazing pink and white shoe.

Work on my dummy goes on even if in a very slowly way: But thinking at my troubled last days, that's definitely better than nothing!
So here's page three, or the one that could be page three. 

A new spread for my book dummy.

Meanwhile...
I like this word that from inside a little rectangle in a picture of comic book has the strong power to remind us that not only is in our sight happens!
So, sketches from 'Hazel Phantasmagoria' for my new portfolio go on.
Meanwhile... I have started a reviewed dummy of my never end children's picture book.

Title, absolutely provisional, is 'Francesco, get yourself ready. It is time to sleep.', and these are the first two spread.

Here I am in the middle of my pencil work from 'Hazel's Phantasmagoria'.
Very soon, I hope, it will be time to complete with colours.

To get better consistence among sketches and to keep picture tale flowing, I have considered as a good thing to keep same characters size in every draw, and it is very small compared with my usual standards.

One more challange is to draw as much as possible ground or floor as if they are looked at from a not too much high parallel point of view. Very interesting and funny, indeed!

That's all.

The way some days are shorter than others to make everything you should do, is very strange indeed!
Lately most of my day are very short!

Anyway, Hazel's adventures in rude Aunt's country house go on and so my work does.

I'm quite satisfy about what I did so far even if some corrections will be inevitable;floors and furnitures, for example, are described filthier than what I sketched!

But on the whole, I think and hope, they look good!

Character design is one of most satisfying part in building a picture. Sometime character is caught at once, some time more schetches are needed!

I'm often the only one who can understand what lines mean in my composition sketches. They are very small!

These were done on a Canson A5  90g sketchpad

And then the final sketch.  After some correction I'll use it for final inking and coloring work. 

This is for sale. Please e-mail me if you are interested.
