This is a quick drawing of one of my neighbour – I exaggerate with the beard to make him looks like someone famous – on black paper ( it’s much easier to draw on black paper when you’re not a pro, some mistakes are almost invisible :). The original includes all his body sitting on a chair, reading a book but I chose to modify a little and posting only ‘the head’ that I particularly like. #adriano

Sardinia (Italy)
“A voyage over an emerald sea, past characteristic coves and beaches of snowwhite sand … this is Sardinia, an island that strikes its visitors with natural contrasts, the lights and colors of a region that boasts old traditions and a wild and pure nature.
