I love illustration and I enjoy sketching in general, and this time is not one of my jewelry sketches that I use to share here more often. I am having fun sketching realistic eyes, it is amazing the effect that can turn out just playing with a HB #2 pencil and a couple of pastels or watercolors to give a hint of color. I made these sketches pretty quickly, so it is a very rough practice drawing and please forgive my photos that are not super great!
Realistic Eye
I am planning to make other ones more in a high definition. If you step back a bit from your screen you will see that this eye it is pretty realistic!
Please leave me a comment and let me know what do you think? :-)
Today my April Celebration and doodlewash is dedicated to a wonderful, intelligent and very sensible animal that I love the Elephant!
They are beautiful wildlife creatures, and they need all of our support to keep them safe and secure in their habitat on this planet. It is very sad that beautiful and fascinating creatures like them are under life threats in some areas, I have seen online horrific photos.
Today is Save The Elephant Day let’s make this not just one day but every day, we can show our love and support spreading the words, visiting websites dedicated to animal protection, we can do anything that we feel, can help to raise awareness in protection of their days to come! As I am also a Jewelry Designer I made a choice long ago and it is to never ever use “Ivory” elements in any of my creations.
My watercolor shows an elephant that is worried about his future, but that is there ready to run free and happy any day of the year without worries.

I am very proud to be able to say that “I Was There“ attending this amazing and for me unforgettable Pink Floyd Concert. That night on July 12th 1988 Stadium Flaminio in Rome Italy, my native country! I witnessed a magical and a unique experience and a piece of music history like no other!
I am glad I found this YouTube clip of sadly it doesn’t show the magnificence of the stage and band that I have seen there, you will see nice images of Rome while listening the great live sound recorded that night of the beautiful song Shine on you crazy diamond! Just hearing the first notes I felt goosebumps like I was there again! I wanted to share this memory with you and a piece of my life experience that I will never forget!
I hope that you enjoy with me the great music reading the lyric!

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (I-V)
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
April Celebration National and International Days!
Today is dedicated to “Draw a Picture of a Bird Day!”
In honor and inspiration of this Day I decided to Doodlewash a California Bird specifically one that I enjoy to see often from my window and it is a very cute little yellowish-green bird with sometimes a visible orange color crown on the top head, the name of this bird is the “Orange-Crowned Warbler”
I enjoyed to celebrate this Day and drawing this lovely bird very much! <3
About April Draw a Picture of a Bird a Day Origin and how it all started:
Origin 1943 United Kingdom – Dorie Cooper
In 1943, Dorie Cooper’s mother took her to a hospital in to visit her uncle who was wounded in World War 2. While there, Dorie attempted to cheer her uncle by asking him to “Draw a bird for me, please.”After seeing her uncle’s bird picture, Dorie laughed out loud and proclaimed that he was not a very good artist, but that she would hang the picture in her room nonetheless. The complete honesty and acceptance of his niece did much to lighted her uncle’s spirit. Other soldiers at the hospital also had their day brightened by the event and so, every time Dorie came to visit, they held drawing contests to see who could produce the best bird pictures.
Sadly, just three years later, young Dorie was killed in a car accident. At her funeral, her coffin was filled with bird images that had been made by soldiers, nurses, and doctors from the ward where her uncle had been. The people who little Dorie had touched decided that the little girl who brought hope to the ward by drawing birds would be forevermore remembered on her birthday, April 8th.
Draw a Bird Day is not a recognized official holiday but it is one of the most heartfelt holidays of the year, honoring the soul of a beautiful and innocent, little girl.
To celebrate Dorie’s birthday, be inspired to draw a bird of any kind and share it! <3

Music is like Poetry on a pentagram words written over musical notes!
Today for the April Poetry Month I like to share the beautiful words written by EWIAN for the song Fragile Ghost included in the latest Album release “We Need Monster” read the lines, listen and enjoy the dreamy atmosphere!

Fragile Ghost
And then we kissed the moon.
Loved us secretly.
I thought I felt ensouled.
I thought I felt alive.
The calming sound of nature was only interrupted by the noise of my steps hitting the ground walking up the hills following an unknown trail. Suddenly the thoughts in my mind were freed and unlocked while breathing wilderness in the wind. Let go was the insistent inner voice I was hearing.
