Description
in advance! I really can't thank personally for all the faves anymore, but I'm really grateful
: this is for you ! I just felt like giving you something ... I always give you images with strange transports and thank you so much for all the faves, sweetie! I'm sending you the picture without watermark tomorrow ^^
This is an image from the German fairy tale "The Enchanted Princess", collected by L. Bechstein. I already submitted two WIP's of it.
The lineart was copied by someone from the original picture, and it's this:
. I decided to retouch mainly the decorations of the carriage and the landscape. The reference is an original illustration by Ferri:
. It was made in 1966 for an illustrated series of fairy tales. Besides the books, they made also several editions of the series composed by books+records (and later, in the years, the records were replaced by cassettes and then by cd's, with mp3 too, lately). They are the renown "Fiabe sonore" (Sounded Faity Tales). The copyright of the most recent series (including the lineart) belongs to Fabbri Centauria srl. A series of the same illustrated fairy tales, in English, was printed in the US in 1969: the "Storytime Treasury: A McCall Book" series!
This time I made a double watercolouring!!! Caran d'Ache and Faber-Castell watercolour pencils, Giotto Laccato and Bic Evolution coloured pencils, a very old light-blue Carioca marker, Lyra Art Pen and Giotto Turbocolor markers, Lyra Aquacolor water soluble crayons, a black PITT Faber-Castell artist pen, a mechanical pencil and a small correction in Paint (a mistake, you know ).
ITALIANO:
Colorazione da "La principessa incantata", fiaba tedesca raccolta da L. Bechstein. Ne avete già visto due WIP.
La traccia (in alto) è stata copiata da qualcuno dalla figura originale, perciò non era proprio identica al modello. Ho modificato soprattutto le decorazioni della carrozza e il paesaggio. Il modello è un'illustrazione originale di Ferri, potete vederla qua sopra. Fu fatta nel 1966 per una serie illustrata di fiabe. Oltre ai libri, sono state fatte anche diverse edizioni composte da libri+dischi (poi i dischi, negli anni sono stati sostituiti dalle cassette e dai cd, alla fine anche con mp3), le famose "Fiabe sonore". I diritti dell'ultima serie appartengono (compresa la lineart) a Fabbri Centauria srl.
Stavolta ho fatto una doppia acquarellatura!!! Matite acquarellabili Caran d'Ache e Faber-Castell, matite colorate Giotto Laccato e Bic Evolution, un vecchissimo pennarello blu chiaro Carioca, pennarelli Lyra Art Pen and Giotto Turbocolor, pastelli acquarellabili Lyra Aquacolor, una penna nera per artisti PITT Faber-Castell, un portamine e una lieve correzione di uno sbaffo fatta in Paint

Dear Rubina! It seemed to me a long one, especially because I was sick! Unfortunately I did not really get dressed, but I'm a little bit better off. Fortunately, I can work again, I also love it and I have many ideas too! Thank you for your kindness!

Girl, I DO think of you, where have you gone? Anyway, I just hope you are fine and everything is alright AW, I'm so glad you like this! It was challenging to do since the first moment, it made me feel inspired but sometimes almost exhausted: I used so many colours for the gold, the blue, the green, the dust, the wheels ... I had to almost redo most of the decoration of the carriage ... and this was my first background with fields ... I loved every moment, it made me feel very free. About the blue: it was light, but very different from the common turquese (is this the word?) you find in all the pencil and marker boxes. But apart from that, it was not that hard, most of all I had a very good reference. And you have an eye for a detail too, judging by your latest works
It was a real pleasure, I had very complicated days and I'm going to have more, but I felt I had neglected you a bit, so ... oh, and thanks once more for the favs, dear Zaly
^^

Grazie, cara
! Sì, è stato un lavoro intenso, sono contenta di com'è venuto! Ma sai, il segreto a volte è nella carta: è più spessa di quella per fotocopie (quindi si può bagnare un minimo), ma siccome è meno spessa dei normali Fabriano da disegno e non troppo ruvida (non è per il tratteggio a matita), il pennarello non si spande nel foglio ... Sono sensazioni da provare, una carta così ti fa sentire a tuo agio con strati su strati di consistenze diverse, qui c'è una quantità di colori pazzesca e una doppia acquarellatura! Troppo divertente ...
