Overview
Hello!
My name is Martina and I'm an Italian, illustrator. After spending my childhood peeling my knees, falling down from the bike, and drawing a lot, I decided to study art. I became passionate about comic books; they quickly filled all my shelves!
After high school, I decided to specialise in illustration and now I'm a professional illustrator for children's books.
In the past, I've worked for Italian publishers and for American writers and I hope to be able to add something about that in my portfolio soon! I can work both in digital and with watercolours. I usually start doing a few sketches and, after approval, proceed with the colours.

Working with Martina is such a pleasure. I tell her what I have in mind and the drawings are fantastic. She lets me have the final say on everything. If something needs to be adjusted ,it's no problem, and only takes a day or two. I am looking forward to working with her on future projects. Larry Truesdale

Martina illustrated my first book and did a wonderful job. She was responsive, open to feedback, and able to handle the project from words on a page to a printed book. Martina's designs were cute and playful and very fitting for a children's picture book. I would definitely recommend Martina.

Martina took over my project after another illustrator was unable to finish it. She was eager to help. She worked with me and let me make the final decisions. Her drawings were just what I was looking for. I am glad I found her and am hoping we can work together on future projects as they come available. Larry Truesdale
