Discard character/ Personaggio scartato



The first time this boy appeared on my sketchbook I thought he was great: a sketchy, crooked, fragile boy. Unluckily was not enough in tune with the story he wanted to lead...

La prima volta che questo ragazzo รจ apparso tra le mie bozze ho pensato che fosse perfetto: abbozzato, storto, fragile. Sfortunatamente non era abbastanza in sintonia con la storia che lo vedeva protagonista...

Lucia sometimes the characters we least like are the ones that brings us greater ideas in the future. I am also an illustrator and i find my self going back to old sketches and editing them by redrawing it. Good luck!

Ciao Natalie: yes, he was born for a new illustrated book. And I'm very happy you like them, thank you.

Yes, he had a very short life, but as the second comment suggested, maybe he will be the main character of another story in the future, who knows...
(thank you for your comment, by the way)

Hello Anonymous, you're very right.

I'm really busy at the moment, sorry for not posting anything about last projects.
But I promise I'll post news this week! :)

Thank you and cheers,
Lucia
