Love is a powerful emotion that many people can relate to the extent that it becomes a reflection of who we are. Now, we will be featuring designs of what you love is who you become. Read on and be inspired with these designs!

3 gentlemen, 3 curly moustaches and 3 cool hairstyles are the protagonists of this new personal project. When you love something, that something become a part of you. This is where I started to create this triptych, in honour of the 3 things that I love the most in my life: Nature, Pugs and Pizza.

It’s a personal project, I like to start from a simple idea like “I love mustaches and pugs” and turn it into something crazy, funny and memorable. Fun is my ultimate goal and for this specific project I challenged myself to focus on more than the single illustration that I usually do.

Everything starts with a single idea but no clues on when that idea will turn into something that I like. The next step is drawing until I see something good and then refining every single element that I pick out from various pages full of doodles. It's like using a chisel to sculpt a block of stone, removing the excess to reveal your original idea.

Even when everthing is digitalized, inside my computer and close to be finished, I leave space for changes and addiction, you never know when your creativity can come up with something new and exciting! My workflow is pretty simple: sketch on paper, I take a picture with my phone and transfer it to the computer, use the quick drawing on paper as a base and do all the work with my Cintiq and Photoshop.
