A raccoon painting made with a mix of watercolors, acrylic gouache and black ink, all on a cardstock pink colored paper. I wanted to try drawing on samething else than white papier for once. It notably changes the way to work with watrercolors as this is a transparent paint by definition.
The original painting is available on my Etsy shop.
Did you know? Garments necessary for working in a clean-room, a space where the amount of particles in the air is controlled, are sometimes called “bunny suit”. I learnt this recently and it inspired by this drawing.
Here is a short process video of two small heron paintings. Supplies used: coloured pencil sketch, colour base with watercolours and touch-ups with acrylic gouache. The two original paintings are up for sale on my shop: horizontal format with blue background, and vertical format with green background.

In 2019, I participated to “Inktober”, a movement initiated by Jake Parker that consists in drawing with ink during October. I followed a list of themes proposed by Tarmasz. By drawing at my own pace, I finished the list in January! Can it still be called “Inktober”? ;)
In October, during the winter light saving switch, the “25 hours of comics and illustration” take place. A topic and a constrain are provided, and participants have to make a series of 12 comic pages or illustrations.
In 2019, the topic was “total immersion” and the constrain “a recurring element has to appear on each of your pages”.
I tried it out, and I ended up with only 3 pages that I finished outside the time limit! But it’s the taking part that counts, right ?

Here is mine.
Last month, I took part in Inktober, an ink drawing challenge created by Jack Parker. I decided to make one drawing a day reprensenting an endangered animal, following a list made by DNKN HLFT. Here are all my drawings!
I did not know most of these animals before this experience ! The drawing are inspired by photographs I am not the author of. Here are some sources:

This weekend I took part in the “25h BD” (25 hours of comic). We had 25 hours, including the night of the daylight-savings time change, to draw a comic or a series of illustrations. A theme and a constraint were given at the last moment.
The theme was “propaganda” and the constraint “mise en abime”.
Here is the cover of my series of illustration:
You can see the others I made during the event on the official website. They are in black and white, but I intend to colour them when I will have more time, and I will publish them in here.
Also do not forget to check the other participants‘ drawings and comics out.
Here is a new “making of” video, showing the process of a watercolor painting. This time, I tried to vary the framing and skip some part, in order to make the video shorter and more interesting.
And here is the final illustration :
This is, in principle, the last illustration of a series of four that I made. They represent a science field, featuring characters inspired by some of my friends. You can see the others ones again here : The Microelectronist, The Electrochemist and The Chemist.
