Okey another WIP, I'm not sure how many updates I will post but we'll see.
It's based on Italy that's why the Italian name, I don't claim to be good at Italian because I'm not so if it sounds weird I'm sorry! XD

In this picture the cloth looks kinda lop-sided but irl I don't see it like that....Hopefully it's just the picture and my eyes aren't playing with me. :S

Edit: I played with a ruler and yeah it was a but lop sided I fixed it but I don't have a pic atm I might take one an post later.

Anyways I hope you like it!


Sketch:


Update one:
I worked on the foreground a bit and the bread, they vase is in it's formative phase atm.
The Cloth STILL looks a little lopsided in the picture I guess I'll have to look again.

Update one

27 Colored Pencils, 10 markers, watercolor paints, 2 watercolor pencils and a colorless blender pencil so far.


Update 2:
I added a lot here, I'm having a bit of a problem with the grape's vine blending in too much with the flag's green. D:
Hopefully it'll end nice, it's about I'd say 3/4ths of the way done abouts or so. xd

Update 2

So much stuff I'm feeling a bit lazy to count it all, but it's a lot! xD

Finished! - :
Okay so I'm looking now, and of course what do I keep my attention on? THE CLOTH! xD
Yes I think I fixed it the best it was gonna fixed. xD
I'm kinda happy with this, it didn't turn out as good as I wanted but...
Can't do everything as perfect as you wanna I guess. D:
I'll be adding a blog post with materials used soon and probably post it so everyone knows what I used.
For now... FINISHED!

Thanks for dedicating your drawing to my country. Grazie.
I find it a nice and gentle example of a "Still Life".

Do you plan to color it with crayons or colored pencils?

mokonafan: this looks promising! i see what you mean with the table cloth being lopsided but that's a minor detail. you really have a great composition here, i'm looking forward to seeing it coloured - though it will probably make me really hungry looking at those grapes and the bread. reminds me a bit of being in italy a couple of years ago with crafts and design school and buying fresh fruit and bread every day.

Update In First Post!!!


Di Niente! ( I think that's you're welcome, if not I'm sorry if I said sth wrong!! >.<)
Io amo L'Italia! è vero bellissimo! I'm not gonna push my limits with Italian and just answer your question now. XD

I will/am using Colored Pencils along with Watercolor paints and markers. I'm a very mixed media type of gal. xDD

I have another drawing but the picture I have uploaded looks horrible compared to the actual drawing. xD



Going to Italy sounds nice! .. I'm sure that bread was the best ever, USA forgot how to make bread w/o preservatives in it and grapes w/o chemicals. xD
Though I'm sure in Europe you/they have real food so maybe you don't have to worry about it. xd

I'm glad you think it looks promising! The cloth is still irritating me! D: I have to keep using a ruler to fix parts and parts before I know it I'll just end up redoing whole thing and I could have done that to begin with! LOL


Thank you.

Wow looks very nice! I love how the colors really POP even in a picture in real life I'm sure they're even brighter!

Thank You!
Yes it looks much better when not a photo, if I had a scanner I'd scan it but...you know.

xD

mokonafan: oh, things have happened since i saw this last . i knew it would make me hungry to look at! those grapes looks so nice and juicy now...
i like how the colours are coming along and the flag looks just great.

Mamma mia
Sono molto affamato. E proprio emerge un bellissimo pane davanti a me eh .. Questa è una tortura!

Mamma mia
I'm very hungry. And just emerges a beautiful bread in front of me huh .. This is torture!

Mokonafan is a pleasure to see this creative process come to the steps. Able to enjoy that is a luxury.

The image recalls much Italy; colors and ingredients carefully chosen!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful new creation!

Yummy yummy! Give me some for my tea with lasagne.

Update in first post!!


Thank you!
The colors were a bit irritating but I think I got it! xD


ahaha
I'm glad you like the bread!
You may have a slice if you want.
Thank you for the compliment!


This sudden want for tea, AnMal must be pleased.
I'll give you tea and home-made Lasagne.

wow I love the final product! it just pops so much with those colors

Thank you!

Spot on Moko!

Thank you. :>

mokonafan: all the food looks so lovely! really not a p8cture to look at on an empty stomach . and the flag is just beautifully made, great work on making the fabric flow, sister! for once i'm not too fond of the background, though - i think the red and green of the background could have been less saturated to set off the red and green of the flags better - but all in all it's still a very well composed picture and a lovely sight .

I wasn't happy with the background myself, the colors seemed to take away a bit too much attention!

I was literally clueless on what colors to add. - Oh well I can't do everything perfect.

I'm glad you liked it as a whole, though!

Here's the process pictures along with materials I used listed.

Moko, that is thoroughly delightful. Makes me think of eating in an outdoor cafe in Italy. I love it.

Thank you!
I love that emote.

Sinceri complimenti per l'eccellente risultato, cara Mokonafan!


Thanks again for paying homage to my land with your evocative and elegant drawing.
