Lorde

Hello Dear Fellows!

This week, an illustration inspired by the New Zealand song writer and singer Lorde.

I love her music, she is really cool!
I saw her on TV last week and I just felt like drawing her. I didn't really try to make a really look alike portrait, it's more just an inspiration althought she is really beautiful!

Anyway this is a full digital illustration, I hope you'll enjoy it!  (*^-^*)

New Year, New Resolution!!!

Hello dear fellows!


A new year has begun. I hope you enjoyed the holidays.

I hope this year will be filled with love, happiness, success and joy!!!!

Here is a new illustration, I kinda rushed it to finish it before the 31st and be able to post on my facebook page  on time! Challenge succeeded!! It's not the first time I wanted to create a Happy New Year but usually I start really thinking about the 31st evening (procrastination, procrastination...). So this year, I must admit that even if for many persons those happy new year wishes seem late, for me it is right on time. Next year I'll to deliver for the 1st!!!


First resolution: less blabla, more action!!!


About the making of this illustration, it's half traditional, half digital. I love drawing straight away on Photoshop. I can change the composition as many time I want, flip, reduce, enlarge etc so I feel so much more free!!! I don't get attach to what I draw, because if it doesn't fit the composition, I don't have to erase it forever, I can just move it or keep for another illustration if necessary. BUT when it comes to patterns, I feel so much better with my pen and pencil! I can spontaneous, I let my hand free to create some curves, the drawing become alive. So I started this illustration on Photoshop, set up all the major elements, scanned it, and draw my patterns on paper then scanned it and finalizing on Photoshop. It can seem a little bit complicated but I am experiencing, and trying to get the best from the two techniques (^V^)



I let you judge (and I hope appreciate)the result  (*^-^*)!





And the making of (-^O^-)








I'll finish my article with an inspiring sentence I read earlier

“Love will find a way, everything else will find an excuse.” (Preston Smiles)

Enjoy the rest of the day and stay tunned dear fellows  (*^-^*)!

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!

I promised that from now I'll be more regular. Please believe me *o*
And I have so much to share with you!!!
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^^

Don't hesitate to give me your opinion!!!
*See ya!*
