Seems like fairies love to stumble upon magic babies in the woods: this is actually an excerpt from the story of the origin of Santa Claus written by Frank L. Baum, that I illustrated for #rusconilibri ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yeah. I miss winter already...How did you guess?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fairytale #fairy #franklbaum #magic #woods #magicforest

Character studies are my favourite thing💗 This cutie is a little bit inspired by Chloë Grace Moretz character Isabelle, from the movie Hugo Cabret (I love her) . . . . . . . . . . #characterdesign #characterstudy #drawing #procreate #procreateart #procreateapp #timelapse #girl #booknerd #alessandrafusi #illustration #kidlit #kidlitart

So. Did I say I would be able to find time to do #inktober this past week? No. But did I have the strength to resist to the idea of a bunny in a ruff? Also NO. Soooo....Here's #anthroinktober n.3 the #elizabethan #rabbit (yeah, you know, Elizabethan collars and stuff, couldn't help it). . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #anthropomorphicanimal #ink #alessandrafusi #alessandrafusiillustrator #moleskine #pigmamicron #pentelbrushpen #sakurapigmamicron #higginsink #higginseternal #higginseternalink #higginseternalblackink #higginseternalblack

No #inktober today for me, but it's Sunday anyway, perfect day for a walk in the park and a little #watercolor celebration of #autumn (presso Villa Spada, Bologna)

I was having so much fun, you guys, but revisions came today and they are urgent...And a lot. I SO knew it, sigh. I'm going to deliver work and come back to this as soon as I can, I'm enjoying myself too much with these characters! Today is #anthroinktober #day2 the #tamer #victorian #lioness (see what I did there?) . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #anthropomorphicanimal #circus #ink #alessandrafusi #alessandrafusiillustrator #moleskine #pigmamicron #pentelbrushpen #sakurapigmamicron

So, I didn't plan on joining the #inktober frenzy this year, at all. But then I found the #anthroinktober unofficial list and damn, that one looks like so much fun! I already know I'll never finish this on time (I'm already starting one day later, just sayin') but I'm taking this as a much needed leisure: I'll do it at my own pace, just because I can't help but join the fun. So, there we go: #day1 the #renaissance #fox . . . . . . . . #inktober2017 #unofficiallist #animal #anthropomorphicanimal #ink #moleskine #sketchbook #sketch #pigmamicron #pentelbrushpen #alessandrafusi #illustration #portrait #animalportrait

I just received my copies of "Kaufhaus der Träume" -The Mistery of the Clockwork Sparrow- and I'm so so so happy! The colours came out absolutely perfect, the edition is lovely and they took such care of all the littlest details design-wise! Working with Ravensburger Is a blast💗 Swipe for more pictures. And by the way...If you're wondering whether I decided to shrink and dye Rino black...Nope. We adopted a new tiny feline friend, you can follow the adventures of Rino and Cooper here: @rinoandcooper
