Donato Giancola

Posted by Charley Parker at 7:56 am

Donato Giancola is one of my favorite science fiction and fantasy artists. His respect for the old masters shows in his excellent draughtsmanship and superb command of painting technique. The site includes several galleries of illustration as well as life drawing, traditional portraiture and concept art. The illustrations are sometimes accompanied by preliminary sketches and the site includes an illustrated section on technique.

His work is imaginative, colorful, subtle and always beautifully executed. If you like science fiction and fantasy illustration, Giancola is not to be missed.

Site Quirks: Main images in galleries have easy to use click-through navigation, although enlargements from there require "click and click back". Concept art and life drawing galleries have disconcerting "roll-over" navigation.

lines and colors is a blog about drawing, sketching, painting, comics, cartoons, webcomics, illustration, digital art, concept art, gallery art, artist tools and techniques, motion graphics, animation, sci-fi and fantasy illustration, paleo art, storyboards, matte painting, 3d graphics and anything else I find visually interesting. If it has lines and/or colors, it's fair game.
