Julia, Zig & Fabiluli

I’m gonna tell you a secret: if you want to get me truly inspired, just ask me to draw a child in a very simple, playful and spontaneous scenario. It’s simple as that. But if you want do even better, add at least one cute animal and maybe a doll, and you can be sure I work with all my heart from start to finish.

That enthusiasm was exactly what I felt when Francianne described what she wanted: an illustration showing lots of movement, having her daughter Julia running barefoot, holding her handmade Fabiluli doll and being pulled by her dog Zig.

I got inspired right away!

This image will be used in different ways, each one with some sort of variation. As Christmas card (with a crippled Christmas tree in the back and colorful lights pulled out by the dog)…

As a framework to give the grandparents (first illustration shown) and a print having only Julia and her doll to decorate her room (this last one was inspired by Francianne’s favourite illustration “Dancing with Butterflies”

And these are the adorable Julia and her doll.

Aren’t they really cute? 😀Eu vou te contar um segredo: se você quer me deixar realmente inspirada, apenas me peça pra desenhar uma criança em um contexto simples, lúdico e bem natural! E se quiser fazer ainda melhor, acrescente pelo menos um animal e quem sabe, uma boneca! Pronto! Pode ter certeza que trabalharei com todo o meu entusiasmo do início ao fim da ilustração.
