Bored Panda once again reached out to Alessia, who told us how long it takes for her to complete one image from start to finish.
“It depends on how many pets each drawing features, as well as the kind of background. Averagely, I am quite fast, I’d say 2-3 days.”
We were wondering what inspired the artist to choose Disney as her artistic style of choice. Alessia responded: “Realism was never part of my artistic path, to be honest, I have always struggled with that. So I thought that Disney style could be the best style to learn, not only because it’s easy to depict (despite it still requiring basic anatomy knowledge), but also because we all love what’s cute. So I gave it a try, and I never expected it could’ve blown up this way!”
Alessia also wrote what she hopes owners of her redrawn pictures will take away from her work: “I hope they can see the effort and passion I put behind every drawing to make them unique for each person.”
She added by sharing a moment when a response to her art deeply touched her.
“In general, I am always touched when I get positive feedback from a commission, but what makes me feel even prouder is when owners whose pets passed away get emotional. I feel even more responsible because it means they trust me and my art enough to let me depict their fur friends who crossed the rainbow bridge.”
Lastly, Alessia added: “I finally have my personal website that people can order from (besides checking out my IG).”
