Next saturday is a day here in La Réunion island to celebrate local authors, inviting people to buy books created from the artists living here. So I'll be signing all my comicbooks at two important local bookstores, including one that sells my gay adult comic LUST.
So this will be the very first official signing of this...

A first try with both Class Comics characters. The more I draw them, the more I picture well in my mind what can be done with their fantastic design and story by Patrick Fillion, and ...

First process for these two. I separated the shading for each guy. This shows how the hair layer acts like somekind of shading itself. Maybe that's why I love hair body so much! Even if it take ages to draw, bah!
Thanks for the support, enjoy a lovely sunday :-)

The hashtag ArtVsArtist is back lately on the social networks, so I decided to play the game paying hommage to my lovely guys loving each other. If you pay attention, you see previews of what's to come in the next pages of my comic LUST chapter 2. ;-)
Speaking of LUST, the comicbook of chapter 1 is once again SOLD OUT at the l...

Another Class Comics character, from Patrick Fillion's universe: Mack MacKenzie.
He's got a huge part within the "Project M". Yep, a huge butt too, indeed! Not satisfied with the proportion of the body, I drawn this much too quickly, but th...

This one shows again how I handle the drawing process when I have a complicated background evolved. One of the few panels that are necessary to understand where one character stands from the other. I'm doing this now for another page and a very different situation, hehe!
Have a beautiful sunday, folks, and thank you for the su...

And this time this is a Class Comics character, from Patrick Fillion's universe: DEIMOS!
Not the first time I draw this sexy demon, not the last, hehe, as he's part of the "Project M". Okay, the star actually.
I'm close to how I wanna...

This is for "Project M". I have lots of interest for asian beauty, although I find their eyes pretty hard to render. There I find somekind of pattern shape that helps me drawing.
About the right sketch, I will get rid of the multiple earrings for the final version. Was worth giving it a try, hehe!
I'm gonna send the rewa...

This is the panel I targeted to show exactly how I process my latest shading, having in mind black skin. You see 3 (!!) separated stages for the shading. Each one comes from a specific graphite lead and hardness.
It really takes time but I'm overjoyed with the final result I get. What's funny is this specific rendering helped ...

Alright, you may have seen some new characters and (censored) sketches on my social networks lately. These are not random: this is the starting point of a brand new project, that I call "Project M" for now. And this is a short comic I'm drawing for Class Comic, with...

Okay, so this is different, right? No, this is not for LUST comic, but for another project, let's call it "Project M". I'm gonna talk more about it very soon.
I expressed how hard it is to draw black guys, to really give justice to their skins, shading and tones. I think this guy here made me go a step further, I really love t...

Hey, let's draw a pose superhard to practice whereas we just started drawing a steamy sex scene in LUST chapter 2! XD And let's add some blue vibes, trying out our new blue leads!
Yeah, that's me talking to myself this morning, artists are not alone in their head, in case you didn't know!
Oddly, the pose didn't take that...

For sure this had to get a step by step post. I had to rework the usual order of my stages with such important background. Sky, then the ocean, the waves crashing on his body.
The shading is tricky, 3 layers to make it, but you'll see better this in a next panel.
At that point I really enjoyed drawing the ocean: fully un...

You see the original simple graphite original work. Simple on the shading hehe, I made huge improvements since.
The colors were put quickly, but I had to go for highlights on the skin, it worked much better.
Okay, going back to the drawing board: eager to start the next panel for LUST chapter 2 that involves some tit pla...

When I draw this emotional portrait of the main character, featuring in a forthcoming page for Chapter 2, I knew I wanted to use it to promote the comic.
Don't ask me why I went for a weird compositing like it's part of an old movie, it just happened! The text isn't what he actually says in the comic, I just felt this fi...

A throw back thursday from september 2016 with a male version of the Altamid people, related to the character in the Star Trek movie, Jayla.
I was very interested in her tattoos, the design and shapes it gave to her face. I wanted to try this out on a whole body. This was fun to do and I even played with it in the background (...

The layout is very specific here: it all revolves around the man turning. It didn't occur to me in the first comicbook to think this over double pages. I don't plan to do this all the way for the next episodes, there are some sequences that fit a double page layout, and some less, or not.
This was a first and I enjoyed it. I h...

Okay I'm giggling to the title cause there's a non-intended direct reference to the Lost tv-serie, hahaha!
Anyway, I was dying to show you this one panel in its full glory and it's creation since I finished drawing it. Like one of the best piece so far, one of my fav for sure. Well, there's some other candy in page 6 I finishe...

Usually, that's when you're close to draw the new characters in the final comic that you realize you're far from having studied them enough. Aka you should have done character sheets, damn it!
Well, so when this guy is introduced in the comic, he's seen from the side, and I didn't draw him yet from this point of view. So...

This is how it went for this panel, and that killing pose. This is exactly the kind of drawing that you think was okay and you see it back and can't help thinking something's wrong!
I guess we're never fully satisfied with our work, hehe, that's why an artist need so much back up. :-)
Anyway, I still enjoy finding ways t...

I'm into complex poses and strange angles for the heads nowadays! A little warm up from this morning before drawing page 6 of LUST chapter2.
I realized lately I really do love to use the hands in my posing. Many artists I've known see them as a nightmare to draw. For me it's begun to be essential to my art. They help me to rei...
