Quick Sketch!

Hello hello!

Here is a quick sketch drawn on Photoshop. I took me about one hour. I use the brush "pencil" and I have to say that I like the result. Some one my friends thought that it was a traditional pencil sketch that I've scanned. Of course, the sensation of the pencil on the the paper and the graphic are not the same XDD

Recently, I've been trying to experience more. I'd like my art to be a little less realistic but more deformed, more free. I think that my drawings are a little straight, static sometimes.
I won't change in one day, but I'll keep training.

The main point is I enjoyed drawing that sketch so it is the more important.

You can enjoy the result!

Warrior African Princess WIP

Hello Everyone!!!


I'm back on this blog!

Since I opened this blog, a lot of things happened in my life!
I live now in Tokyo, I work in animation studio specialized in drawing background^^
It is definetly not a piece of cake everyday but I'll you more about it in the article I'm preparing about that so stay tuned!!


Today, I post a Work in progress of a character I'm drawing :)
Some days ago, I read an article about the Dahomey Amazons, a all-female military regiment in charge of the personal protection of the King of Dahomey which disappeared in the late 19th century. 
So I wanted to create that kind of character, a beautiful and fierce African warrior princess. In my many unfinish projects, I have a project of an epical story taking place in Africa, I hope that project will be achieved one day!

But for the moment, I7m gonna start little and just try to finish that character^^
