Team Alpeto (2020)
Personal Project. Book Illustration.
We made this book as a wedding gift to reflect the love story of two friends from the point of view of their cat.
Due to a lot of COVID rescheduling we needed to finish this in a very short time, while still looking nice so I found a simple style that worked well and could be produced fast.

The Final Result
Having an extremely quick turnaround with a nice looking result was made easier by leveraging the speed of procreate running on an iPad Pro

Final Rendering with shading, inking and colours
The power of the iPad Pro allowed me to work on finishing every illustration at the same time on a huge document. That made things way faster and much more coherent.
