Yo! I've seen the video I previously posted was in sh#!&&y quality XD
I suppose the software I used for speeding it up ruined it and I didn't notice. Sorry about that! So I repost it in HR. It's not speeded up so it may result a bit long, but you'll be able to see the details.
I got more things ready for this week end and next week :) Did you see Birds of Prey in cinemas?
so stay tuned!
Hugs & Kisses

Hello there! Someone asked for some background tips :) so here I go showing you the construction of a background for a comic panel from EKHÖ volume 10 (the book I am currently working on).
I took pictures of every step.
We are in China, on a boat on Huangpu River. I started looking for references. I received some from my writer Christophe, and I googled myself some more. This is a little selection ( I think I hav...

Hello, here I am as promised :) I did a screen video of the coloring of this Will image. It's speeded up x3 so it doesn't last too long.
Note that I use a "vintage" photoshop, but I think you'll be able to find the same layers on a more recent version.
YES I should absolutely pass to the last version XD but I'm so used to this! And my computer is so old I don't think it could run a recent Photoshop XD I'm willing to buy a Ipad Pro so I'll enter in the Modern World, he he he ...

Yo my fantastic Patrons. Our little community gets bigger everyday :) thank you all a lot!
I want to share with you this sort of Fanart thing I'm into now: I fantasize about a new W.I.T.C.H. season where our heroines are lost in a fantasy world. I hope I'll have the time (!!!) to do more of this! Here is Will in her new custom semi-armour outfit. Where is she going, what is she looking for? I'll tell you more soon. In the meanwhile, I'm testing video apps, so I'll post the full video of...

Hello my fantastic Patrons. THANK you so much for being here, I'm really enjoying this sharing! I am currently testing some video editing apps for I'd like to upload more videos. This is a test with some music :) You may already have seen this video on my IG story, here is the full version. I was thinking about speeding it up, but at the end I dropped the idea. It's not that long, and I think it's more interesting like that.

Hello, I'll soon talk to you about storyboarding. Storyboard is the common element in comics, animation, videogames, cinema, advertising ... one of the funniest , alive parts of this work that consist in giving life to images, characters, ideas. Do you want to see how I storyboarded the first pages of my new book?

Hellooo you my fantastic Patrons! Here I show you the process for creating this pin-up. As you can see, my process is the basic cartoon-style one: simplified anatomy with a strong line of action! I finished it with watercolors and a little photoshop. Hop! The secret is in the shoulder pose :)

Yo again! Here the watercoloring process for the previous image, the Fourmille pin-up illustration. I use Schmincke watercolors. For simple images like this I use a Sakura reservoir brush (the water is inside the brush). The paper is watercolor paper 350g.

Hello everyone. Here it is, I've been working on it the last 2 days. This illustration will be printed on 100cm high cardboard and will decorate the bookstores in France and Belgium next March. I'm sooo happy about it :)
SO: the publisher sent me back an old sketch of mine as a reference (the pink one). As you can see, the characters have slightly changed since.
I chose to represent the three girls in their everyday look, and I di...

Hello, here's a step by step process the Taranee image I did for my W.I.T.C.H.tober!
As usual I start by placing the head in the correct perspective I have in mind. I looked for the pose with tiny sketches on my sketchbook, so I know where I am going.
I trace some perspective lines for the body. I want to see her from above, for making it a little more complicated!
I put chest and hips. Again, I prefere the ...

I did this Hay Lin image for my last W.I.T.C.H.tober. Hay Lin is one of my favourite characters ever, her element is AIR. I wanted to draw her flying in a funny still elegant way, like she's half-controlling her flight but having fun at the same time!
I started looking for the pose, through little sketches on my sketchbook. I underlined the line of action for you to see.
I started from the head, putting it in the corre...

Hello Everybody! Here's a Step by Step procss for my "Welcome!" illustration! I created this new character as your hostess. You can see in the detail every step: from the notes I took on one of my many notebooks (hey, who's the girl on the right? :) , to the construction of the head and body, the inking and the watercoloring. I like to leave the yellow construction visible, it warmes up all the image! I finished it with some photoshop touches. I hope this process will be helpful to you! It's ...
