 in advance: for a matter of time, I really can't thank for the favs I get, but I'm really grateful for every single one Nod ^^
Now, it is required some courage for showing you this and the following submissions. They are just tracings I made when I was really young, I think not older than 11. This is also probably the only one finished of the series. But ... some of you dearest watchers said they appreciated very much my works of the beginnings. And although these are only tracings and I didn't know how to use colours at that time, I think that they have a peculiar value: they show where my taste really comes from, and prove that imitation of a good sensei is a good start. Anyone can have fun with a pencil and a good reference. You don't have to start with the ambition of doing like the professionals, you don't even need any technique to have lots of fun and love what you do, plus meanwhile you may learn!
I'd never dare to show these things if so many people had not shown me so much love and appreciation for my work. I know that these things have no importance, all I wish to do is to share a part of myself and to aim anybody to start like I did, especially the youngest. I am totally self-taught, and even if I always believed in my drawings, I never thought they could reach the attention of so many people. Well, this is how I actually started. Alone with my beautiful fairytale books and a very thin sheet of paper ...
This comes from a stunning illustration by fabulous Carla Ruffinelli (1922-1998), for a Richard Volkmann's tale named "L'altalena delle stelle" ("The Swing From the Stars", more or less). I bought it in a book of Volkmann's tales named Fantasie, printed in 1973, AMD Editore. You may see it (no, you must, because it is a little masterpiece) here: sta.sh/02dnum31gh5x
Hugs to everyone!

Mi querida, observé que hablas español y me aprovecho. Te agradezco infinitamente el dato del autor, el sr. Volkmann. Venía rastreando estas imágenes desde Pinterest, pasé por el blog que las exhibe, y terminé aquí. Tal vez ya sepas a esta altura que el título original era “"Il regno invisibile" (Vom unsichtbaren Königreiche), de 1871. Ha sido una suerte para los lectores italianos que ese antiguo cuento se haya rescatado del olvido. Y se nota que pusiste tu corazón en esos dibujos.
