Searching for Maia Sketchy color style testing. Though I liked the spooky vibe. the color was a bit heavy. I didn't want the illustration to weigh down the page. Swipe to see the scribble that lead to this image and visit my blog to see the faces that Maia could have been. Link in bio! https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCkL0GDy1t/?igshid=k0zq2cbrzs2

This is Maia before Maia became Maia. It’s one of the first character studies I made of her. I studied animation and learned to make this fancy character turn around thing which wasn’t very useful. Though I do like her butt. I wanted the characters to be somewhat consistent throughout the book but felt like I couldn't keep my drawings loose if I stuck to a well measured cartoony character. Visit my blog for a view of the transitions Maia went through before becoming herself. Link in bio! (em Brasília, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCevNQjbz2/?igshid=hrsawh4cz0mu

🤔 I just found out someone is selling a counterfeit version of my pillows from #society6 on #amazon. Whether it's a sneaky person or a sneaky bot I do not know. I am flattered and confused. Suggestions welcome. #whocanisue #theyretakingover #ilustración #illustrazione #pillows #elefantes #alanwatts #cartoony #alexandracalisto (at Barcelona, Spain)
