"Who lives is Silvia's houses?:)" Stylized portrait and fan drawing for awesome steemian @silviabeneforti (Process pictures and a small story inside:)

I met @silviabeneforti when we both were new on steemit, and immediately fell in love with her creative houses sculptures. I could feel a story behind each of them, and positive energy vibrating in every piece. Then I found out that she's here together with her husband, @paolobeneforti, who also is an awesome creative person.

I saw houses sculptures on their pages from the very first day.These tiny houses, that I love so much. If you're new to steemit and don't know what am I talking about - check out this family profiles, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with their creativity to.

I decided to make a small gift for Silvia, to thank for all the inspiration she gave to me:) So, stylized portrait and the houses: "Who lives in Silvia's houses?":)

 

I decided to add  brick texture, cause after all it's all about houses:)

As usual, everything starts with sketch and lineart. Every little house starts with plan:)

Then the basic color appears, and every house receives it's own character:)

A bit of shading is always needed;)

So, this is how it looks without a texture, and with it:

Dear Silvia, I hope you don't mind this small gift from me:) Thank you for all inspiration your art gives to the world and personally to me!:)

Thank you for watching:)

Love, Inber
