Hey, it's #KidLitArtPostcard day!
Hi, I'm Arianna Climaci and I'm an illustrator from Italy, currently looking for representation. I'd love to draw more kids living extraordinary adventures!

Tetris is such a good metaphor for life because I feel like the RNG/Universe keeps feeding me awful pieces that combined with my poor judgement f*ck up the board. I hope one day I'll get the right piece to clear up the board enough to get space to breathe.

I forgot to post this here! I'm working on a couple of illustrations based on Peter Pan for my portfolio #kidlitart #kidlit

I probably should have dusted it off before taking a photo, but I'm happy with how it came out! I also tried filming the process, but it took me so much time that I don't want to go through that much footage lol

Uncovering mysteries and conspiracies (like why my portfolio is lacking b/w illustrations)

Every once in a while I manage to finish an illustration that isn't work! Incredible!

Does anyone else feel the need to prove that they can draw difficult things, such as perspective or anatomy, but then can't really simplify/stylize it because they're stuck in a "I need to prove I can do it correctly" mentality? Is it just me?

Years and years of drawing experience and I still need to spend time re-learning fundamentals because when I try to simplify one stuff I end up drawing the same thing unchanged..............

You just learned about the existence of Google Fonts. You wanted to find something fantasy-ish but with strong generic placeholder vibes because you haven’t figured out your aesthetic yet. Your marketing efforts start and end with 'I made a cool thing, you should check it out because I made it!'

I need to start a social media account where I post sightings of Cinzel because I s2g that font is everywhere, it's so overused and I'm so sick and tired of it. And yes, I've used it in the past, I'm ashamed of that, but it's been 10 years and this might be how I can redeem myself.

I've just finished watching Wicked and Ariana Grande was so f funny, and I know I shouldn't be surprised because I've seen Quinton's retrospective of Victorious and Sam&Cat, and yet she still surprised me and I'm not even a fan. Though 2.40 hours of musical for a part 1 movie should be illegal

I'm going through an old art folder and this piece is pretty old (2016? I think) but I still like it so much. There's a rawness that, at the time, I was using to mask my lack of skills but I think it works well and I kinda miss it. It's weird to find something I could learn from my past self.

I'm finding really hard to feel hopeful about the future..........

I've been doing a deep dive into Italian Advertising in the 50s and I fell in love with Studio Stile's (Carmelo Cremonesi & Gian Rossetti) posters. The illustrations feel so modern!

(Fun fact: they're responsible for the Nutella logotype)

the euphoria of getting 3 tetris back to back to back

I went from professional work to personal project and I feel like I need to relearn how to draw

Life might not be easy these days, but being the person that solves an enigma in 0.4 seconds at a d&d table with 3 engineers feels really good

Feeling kinda down... I applied for a graphic design job but I didn't get it. I want to take it as a sign that I should give my illustration career one more chance

seasonal post about how I'm not built for this heat 😵‍💫 I'm towards the end of an illustration project and I just can't find the strength to power through it
