drawing — Blog — Soulful Crane by J.deeBella

Hello,

what are you doing lately?

I can’t believe that I haven’t written a post for months, really MONTHS!

I missed this spot, but on the other way, I still am in a sort of laziness, and can’t help, I don’t know if I will awake soon.

What I am doing is: Learning. As I said before, learning is a never ending process for me, and I keep feeling I’m not ready to begin something that involve all my muscle and nerves. Is this called procrastination maybe?

This is an illustration I draw to get in the new #portfolioclub assignment prompt on Instagram. And I also work on #illostories prompt as well.

There is also a personal and SECRET project I’m working on too, that make me feel sooo excited and happy.

Summer is the lazy period for my soul, I am reading a big amount of books. Did you know that my city, Trieste is a literature crib? At the beginning of the previous century, there where many international poets, writers and artists that came here. And this year Trieste is one of the candidate to the CREATIVE CITIES of UNESCO for the Literature. And I really hope that this will became true. Today Trieste is again the port for so many artists and creative people, here are so many contemporary writers, illustrators (the project that involve the curators of the new museum of the literature also will have five language and a big jung and kids literature, and crafts artist that I think we deserve this pledge.

That’s all for now.

I’m off to taking sun bathing, drawing on my sketchbook, working on my secret project, playing UNO’s Cards with my son, eating tomatoes, fish and drinking fresh white wine, meeting happy people… in other words, bringing smile and happyness to my life.

Hello Lovelies,

spring is almost here and I am feeling much more energized about the new season’s transition. Cleaning up home and sorting out the sketchbook I stumble upon some time ago video series I commenced last year but didn’t stick on it very much. I felt in love with the live sketchbook’s video series again and decided to give it second try, so here I am with another one. I can say I really love this one, because:

It’s the first time I record in English in “live” mode; (ahem… I’m not so fluent at the time, I can read, write and listen English but when I try to chat I became soooo shy and nervous, I promise, I’ll practise it more!)

I am much more secure about my drawing, that I feel confortable to not sketch the subject in advance, but do this just while recording, so you get it as it came.

I adore the copic marker! (even if I was soooo slow in choosing colors)

I love pink and pastels!

I’m going to record the Sunday Sketch Cafe’ twice a month. So, here we go. Hope you like this week video!
