Your minotaur character is terrific, he has a nice charm to him.

Jaume Cullell said...

Hey, you, medusa!! Let him go!!!
grrrr...
jejejeje.
Great, as always, maestro.
Just a question:
How long does it takes you to make an ilustration like this one?

craig said...

wow, gabriele. Some really fantastic sketches here! So dynamic..and so much personality. great stuff..

Martin Wittig said...

Gabriele-Terrific work!:o)

Gabriele Pennacchioli said...

Thanks guys.
I'm glad that you like the minotaur. I'm plannig to do more drawings with this character.

Jaku- This one took me quite a bit. I would say: 15 minutes for the pencil and 20 minutes for ink and shading.
I also did some digital retouching, mostly cleaning my red pencil.

Uno spettacolo dietro l'altro.

really gorgeous medusa. i think she´s too much woman for a young minotaur.
poor little mythological creature.

MikeS said...

You use tails as hands, hair as hands......and still maintain a great silhouette. Looking forward to more of the minotaur!
