SAMUEL FARINATO / my magical world

Sketches and ideas, and a temporary holding place for characters and creatures until my website is back up. In the meantime, contact me at [email protected] for commissions or inquiries.

The process of finding the sound of your own voice is an art unto itself. Here’s a glimpse into something ahead. #procreate #narrativeart #drawordieclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CqzdFWduQo8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain…” Testing out some gritty new brushes, few movies have as much grit as Blade Runner. 20ish minutes scratching around. #procreate #bladerunner #roybatty #rutgerhauer https://www.instagram.com/p/CogwbZWLckf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Death is the only great adventure I have left!” Captain Hook, made in Procreate using @maxulichney ‘s incredible brushes. Threw in the lineart at the end for fun. #procreate #sketchboardpro #drawordieclub #captainhook #peterpan #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKVip_JnHX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Putting the last one on back burner to finish, and starting on a character study (wizard!) #childrensbookillustration #procreate #drawordieclub https://www.instagram.com/p/ClsZVtvrX6c/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m having too much fun to not share too many progress shots. One of these days I should just post the timelapse of it but I know how erratically I draw and it would be infuriating to watch. For now just enjoy these colors and textures as much as I am. #procreate #sketchboardpro #drawordieclub https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZz2HHP2yD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More work in progress, this is the fun part. Even my daughter thinks it looks cool (and if you think impressing a 4 year old is easy you haven’t tried) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZvNMbP0dv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More work in progress. The colors are mostly placeholders at this stage, just so I have some shapes to grab onto. https://www.instagram.com/p/ClSvPIorenA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Next one! #portfolio #childrensbookillustration #procreate #fantasyart #goblins https://www.instagram.com/p/ClHUwCvyRRa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Done for now, but I’ll give it another once over after a couple weeks away from it. #portfolio #childrensbookillustration #procreate #drawordieclub https://www.instagram.com/p/ClFzLBurGPz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
