Italian Summer

Last summer I went to Portofino and Riomaggiore and I felt in love with the mediterranean mood of these beautiful small places.
Unfortunately the weather wasn't really good but I took some photos as ref for a future painting. Finally I found the inspiration for putting some ideas in this illustration.
Everything started with a lazy, messy and fast sketch some months ago...left aside because it was really bad (you can see it). But last weekend I decided to fix the perspective, the colors and take a couple of days for detailing everything.

1 - Messy and rough sketch left aside because it was really bad.
2 - After 3 months I decided to fix the composition and to choose the key colors.
3 - Took 2/3 days to detail everything.
4 - final touches and character.
