Giuliano was born in Pezzaro. His children's illustrations always have a warm atmosphere like sunshine and use a rich sense of lens. Giuliano likes to use animals as the main characters in picture books. Even if everyone is familiar with the story with people as the protagonist, he likes to use animal models instead. He said: "Animals have always been the protagonists in my illustrations, just like the books I drew for Green Publishing House. Most of the protagonists are animals. I think using animals to communicate can convey the information in the story more effectively. I'm sure every child will want to be friends with a bear who can make pizza and a crocodile who can make dessert. "

For example, how to PS children's illustrations
Steps/methods
1, draw a draft, what is the most important in the early stage, what is in your mind, just like hitting the foundation of a house, and then step by step.
2. Set a black-and-white tone for the draft, which can be skipped to make the idea clearer.
3. Let's start to draw the manuscript and set a general position. Personally, I am used to drawing on sketch paper slightly larger than A4, which is too small to draw details and too big to control the whole.
4. Draw the main characters.
5. I started to draw scenes ... very embarrassed ... actually, umbrellas are not easy to draw. I also opened an umbrella for reference.
6. The tree overhead was dizzy and missed many times in the middle.
7. After the line draft is formed, it is paved with rough adjustment. Finally, the pencil draft is finished!
8. As usual, scan the pencil manuscript into the computer and start coloring with photoshop. Overlay the positive film to build a new layer, first spread a big color sense, and then start to refine from the whole to the part, and continue the long process ... * * * I only use two layers of color, one layer of line drawing and the other layer of color drawing * * *
9, perfect the details ... In fact, you can be a little more detailed, but the submission time is limited, or grit your teeth to complete the final effect!
