Weekly bonus #19

Hi Patrons ! Here is a weekly bonus about my last 6 days with no-computer and no-internet. So, it's a bonus about a relaxing 'penciling' period during my mini-holidays. Now, I have a lot of artwork to scan, colorize and paint-over and also the full episode 10 shaded this way. I also have the head full of new ideas for Pepper&Carrot ; new tutorials, brush kit, press-kit, contacts, conferences, etc... I'll tell a bit more about it soon.

Many thanks for your support, and have all a great end ...

Weekly news #18

Hi Patrons, I'm able to post a Weekly n°18 this week ! The weather here is very rainy with big storms , and my holidays at mountain were moved to next week ( big storm season at mountain is too dangerous ). It's a bit the chaos in my schedule, and I focus to draw on paper and upgrade my pencil skill. With all this storms around, it's better to not start-up computer for too long. This morning it' s almost calm in the sky, and I did a session to scan my drawings, and do a montage with notes.

Hi Patrons, here is the weekly n°17 from south of France, it's 37°C here, a very hot summer day. But, what's new for Pepper&Carrot project ? Last Friday was the release date of the episode 9 "The remedy" and right now I'm cleaning files, organizing myself for future episode 10, and enjoy a bit of calm after the intense production end of last week.

Hi Patrons, And it's weekly news number 14. ★ Weekly bonus ★ Last week, I worked a lot on the 'paint with blending mode' video tutorial to publish it before week-end.

Hi Patrons, And it's weekly news n°10 . Ten weeks already I started this mini blog, and I'm a bit proud of it. This week has been calm for Pepper&Carrot on the Internet, but it's a good timing since I'm in an intense production on episode 8. All panels have now definitive dimensions, all drawings are done, all speech-bubbles and prefinal dialogs are also done. I could read it for the first time on a local webpage on Monday and mesure how many things I wanted to fix. The coloring/painting ...

Hi Patrons, Here we are! Weekly news number 9. This week not a lot of news except I've been 'slashdotted' yesterday and it was a positive experience. I was productive on episode 8 ( and also about shaping the Hereva universe ). I estimate there is probably still around 8 days of painting to get an episode 8 ready. Next week, I should start to get first panels 'prefinal' and send an 'early' version to the translators. It's a 6 pages long one ; as for the episode 3 ' The secret ingredient' . T...

What was done last week ? # Episode 07 rewrite During the storyboard and sketching of the future episode 07 ; I felt I couldn't draw it. I kept loosing energy, I felt something was wrong about it.
