Francesca CosantiI was born and grew up in Italy. I love to travel, not just with my mind, but to take inspiration from places, shapes, and colors.Currently, I work as an illustrator and a visual artist for publishing and advertising, collaborating with associations,companies, and agencies. My illustrations are realized mainly in digital with Mac or iPad.My creative process begins with the act of "thinking." The most complex thing in my work is to have the right idea that has to satisfy the client, the public, and, of course, me. After the idea, I realize the sketch and all its possible evolutions. I realize the sketch on paper or directly in digital. When the sketch is ok, I create the final illustration. This latter could take me away few hours of work or some days.It depends on techniques, details, setting, character number, work affinity, and color palette selection. My palette changes often, but usually, the color I use is red, a lively color that instills energy and doesn't go unnoticed. In recent years, it has become almost a "trademark" in my works. In my free time, I dedicate myself to my passions: dogs, food, swimming, books, travel, photography, and long walks. Read More Read Less
