Extraits de la première Session modèle vivant organisée par la team CFSL, qui a eu lieu hier dans leur locaux partagés. 2 modèles, 3 heures de poses chacune, la seconde était particulièrement inspirante et inventive ; on la voit dans la majorité des sketches ici :). Chaque pose durait 5 ou 10min. J’utilisais des crayons aquarellables et un peu d’acrylique diluée.
Ça faisait des années que je n’avais pas fait de vrai session comme ça, et ça m’a un peu réconciliée avec les crayons (l’ambiance était particulièrement studieuse d’ailleurs o_o). Un grand merci à l’orga ! / Info

Extracts of the first live model session organized by the CFSL team, 2 models, 3 hours of poses each, the second model was particularly inspiring and inventive, she’s present in the most sketches here :). Each pose lasted 5 or 10min. I used watercolor pencils and a bit of acrylic painting.
It had been years since I had not attended a session like this, which has reconciled myself with the pencils. The mood was particularly studious over there ! / Info

Reprise d’une illust débutée pendant le Workshop CFSL ; je suis partie un peu trop loin dans les détails, c’était bien le bordel et j’ai passé beaucoup d’heures dessus… mais j’ai réussi à la finir, c’est formidable ! Il y en 2 autres du workshop qui me font la gueule (je parle bien sûr des illust), j’essayerai de m’en occuper bientôt…
et j’dois faire une collab avec Melody (Yokaï ? Sentaï ?) et pas qu’avec elle d’ailleurs… va y avoir du boulot ! :p
Illustration started during the CFSL Workshop, I got lost into details, it became a mess and I spent many hours on it … but I managed to finish it ! There are 2 others from the Workshop which are not yet finished, I’ll try to take care of these today…
I should also do a collab with Melody pretty soon (Yokai ? Sentaï ?) and others … a lot of work is coming!

Fresh sound, thanks Manu !
Extraits d’une nouvelle session de la semaine dernière, avec Ciia, Arthur de Pins, Thierry Rivière, HPX, Alexandra Petracchi, Boz, Thomas et moi (j’espère oublier personne :3). C’est très dark, désolée. Une vidéo japonaise a fortement influencé cette séance, attention c’est pas trop pour les enfants :)

Voici quelques ‘vieilleries’ 2006 jamais montrées jusqu’à présent ; j’alimente le blog avec ça faute de temps pour faire du neuf :3… Plus sérieusement, c’est surtout pour exprimer ma frustration de ne pouvoir refaire ce genre de chose aujourd’hui avec la spontanéité que j’avais à l’époque. La lassitude (et la flemme) doivent jouer.
Here are some old stuff done in 2006 that I’ve never shown till now ; I feed the blog with that, lapse of time to do something new :3 … Actually I wanted to express my frustration at not being able to do these things again with the same spontaneity that I had before. Probably too much bored and lazy I am.

Description
While creating a new piece, a lot of trained artists already have a precise idea of what they are after. The picture they want to create is like a set destination, and they work rigorously until this destination is reached. While technique and academic training are necessary in the creation of any piece of artwork, some artists feel they are sometimes trapped by these and feel a need to free themselves. This often manifests with an artist being bored by his own work, feeling that he lacks imagination.
One can reasonably ask themselves if for such artists, these academic methods discriminate against the most unconventional ideas. And yet, these are the ideas I want to embrace and develop.
Rather than working with a set destination in mind, I like my personal works to take me wherever they want to go. Thus the destination is never set, it evolves during the making of the picture. This is the way I feel the most free, and this is the way that I feel my ideas won’t curb themselves to a limited space. To achieve this, I use a work flow based on spontaneity and instinctive feeling. Of course, a basic idea of what I want to do is necessary, or else it would be like closing my eyes and wiggling my hand at the canvas aimlessly. That starting idea can be anything, but I will use it as a starting point rather than as a goal. I won’t use construction lines. What I want is to explore the canvas in a more unpredictable way, and the key to that is to take advantage of accidents.
While my work can be described as being figurative, the path that leads me to that is a more abstract one. I feel that the more free I am, the more free the observer will be to interpret my works. Of course, such a free approach makes more sense in the context of more intimate, personal works.
Thanks NinoMojo -Romain- for helping me
to synthesize and write the concept of the video !
