I work in a variety of tools - markers, watercolor, ink, pastels, gouache, graphite - though I enjoy mostly markers and watercolors.
My favorite drawing tools are Letraset products (Tria and Pro markers) and I like Italian watercolors like Maimeri. Foreign materials - I mean, not European - are usually quite expensive and I really don't like to purchase expensive art tools or paper.

Finally, after weeks, months, years of hard work, reflections, changes of mind about the whole project (from my part, of course), the art-book is almost done. BUT, things have changed a lot from when I start ]]> http://nati.deviantart.com/journal/About-Gothic-Art-Now-art-book-234645346 http://nati.deviantart.com/journal/About-Gothic-Art-Now-art-book-234645346 Sat, 27 Dec 2008 03:33:20 PST About 'Gothic Art Now' art-book... nonadult journals/personal nati http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/n/a/nati.gif?11 Copyright 2008-2013 *nati Gothic Art Now is a collective project, featuring the art of many so called 'gothic' artists all around the world. I'm one of the selected illustrators and you can find a piece plus a short bio/description of mine inside the book.

And yes, the cover of the book is also mine ^_^. It's a detail of 'Autumn has come' from my 'Voodoo Child' series, an illustration I did in late 2005 » link

However it's not a book based only on my artwork, as some people have supposed by seeing its cover. Anyway, it's very beautiful and of course I sugge ]]> http://nati.deviantart.com/journal/This-is-not-a-tutorial-part-02-236018030 http://nati.deviantart.com/journal/This-is-not-a-tutorial-part-02-236018030 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:20:42 PDT This is not a tutorial...part#02 nonadult journals/personal nati http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/n/a/nati.gif?11 Copyright 2008-2013 *nati

Some extra info about this illustration:

. Time for completation » 3 days. Basically because I had to wait paper was completely dry for painting and I always leave the paper dry naturally. Pieces done by using only markers and pencils require less time to be completed.

Well I'm sorry, I  disappointed you: this is not a tutorial and I'm talking about my technique, not about my style which is something I honestly can't explain you. Probably you expected something different...

And, my technique is the same to that of thousands of traditional artists all around the world. No secret about it, and indeed many traditional artists could criticize 'my way' of drawing...it's not very ' professional ', to be honest ^_^

Thank you all for commenting on this post, btw!
