I really enjoyed teaching, but as I was nurturing other people’s creativity, I found more and more that I was missing doing that for myself. It got to a point where that balance tipped and I realised I wanted to spend all my time doing my own artwork.” Adam Digby. "Beppe Marotta:First Impressions Count".

Romelu Lukaku, Achraf Hakimi, Nicolò Barella, Christian Eriksen, Andre Onana, Hakan Calhanoglu, Matteo Darmian, Edin Dzeko and Alexis Sanchez are some of his notable signings at the club, with many of these players contributing to Inter's recent success. During the 2022-23 Inter Milan season, Inter reached the UEFA Champions League final for the first time since 2010. I was surprised at the phenomenal success,” she continues. “All I had in my mind with the first book was that I hoped people would enjoy it.” My earliest memories are of growing up in the countryside on a smallholding. It was a very outdoorsy upbringing and I was a child who was nutty about nature. We used to go to Italy with my dad to visit his side of the family in the school holidays. I remember spending our days on the beach and climbing hills, which we all really enjoyed.”agiamba (28 August 2010). "Adieu, David "Le Roi" Trezeguet". Archived from the original on 2012-03-30.

Colouring technique varies hugely from person to person, each of us have our own natural style of colouring, favourite materials and our own individual ideas for colour palettes. One of the lovely things about colouring is that rules don’t apply, there is no way of doing it ‘wrong’. But here are a few suggestions which might be helpful if you’re after a little guidance: Now based in West Wales, she took up wildlife illustration before teaching art at a local comprehensive school for five years. It doesn’t feel like work for me,” Marotta confesses, adding that, while the local wildlife might not be classed as that exotic, the Welsh countryside acts as constant inspiration for her work.a b c d e f "Giuseppe Marotta's profile".

Each illustration begins as a rough hand drawn pencil sketch. I like to draw the artwork at the same size as it will appear in the book, even at the rough stage, as I often find that adjusting the scale once an image has been drawn up can change the way an image feels to colour in. My roughs usually end up being quite detailed by the time I’ve finished as I like to have things thoroughly planned out before I begin the final piece. I use a range of reference materials including photos, books, sketches, nature documentaries and various sources online, as well as a combination of relying on my memory and imagination. Once I’m happy with my rough it’s time to draw up the final artwork. For this I use a very fine steel nib pen, using my pencil sketch as a guide and this time adding even more detail as I work. Once the inked drawing is complete it’s simply a case of scanning the illustration, ready for sending to my publisher. The only other process that I sometimes go though is to turn an illustration into a repeat pattern, which I will do digitally. a b "Juventus arriva anche Delneri" (in Italian). calciomercato.it. 19 May 2010.

This curiosity about and the animal kingdom and a love for our natural surroundings is really what sits at the core of my work. Always choose a book filled with artwork that you really love. Not just in terms of the theme but the style of the drawings too.
