I detailled the color process too here. But the main stage is obviously the shading! it took time and it really improves the action and helps identify clearly the characters & what's going on.
The fun note is the background which is still hand-drawn by me but it's actually ink, not graphite, for a totally other past projec...

I could not think of Halloween without a little treat from my comic LUST! This is a panel out from page 15, just to play around with the holiday theme, hehe!
I just love to study all the expression this character can get, and I have plenty of occasions to do so! ;-)

Another quickie inky drawing I made during my last comiccon. He looks very cartoony, like the characters I used to draw in my Bad Bearry comic. Check out some comicstrips here using the tag Bad Bearry ;-)
Digital colors again on two ink pens & a quick graphite sketch (you can still see btw, I'm so messy!)

I detailled much more the layers here, starting with the shading: you can see the 2 stages using 2 different pencils. Also the color processing.
The tattoo was a last minute decision, I drawn it separately and mixed it with the final drawing in Photoshop, where all the mix & coloring is done.
Thanks for the sup...

I challenged myself to do this one quickly, within an hour. Butt, but I wanted to scan each steps to give you the process, so I'm a bit late, hehe!
Anyway, I'm posting the step by step right away, available for the patrons supporting me. Remember artists do need you support, thanks!

The perspective was a challenge, it's not the first time in the comic I use that kind of pose. You can see how the faces evolved from the sketch. Again, the shading is the key step for me. Oh and I wanted to draw a little background here, even if I'm not doing much in such close-ups.
I'm working on pages 15 & 16 now, and t...

This is a rare occasion when even myself can use both hands and more LOL XD
That page 11 was terrific to practice anatomy & close ups. No need to say that the hair stage was so freaking long for all these panels, 4 of them with the same pose & framing. It was a very good way to show how the character is in control and ...

I drawn lots of quick drawings and ink them during my last comiccon. Let's say I was influenced by the famous "inktober" event so it drove me to get back to some inking. And it was refreshing, as I'm so focused on the graphite rendering & LUST comic for so many months now.
So I added digital colors using Illustrator here, ...

Thanks to my artist friend Heloïse Finoux Nikolic, I got a photo of the LGBT BD booth taken during the Y/con comiccon in Paris 👍
Amongst the Books from my fellow artist friends and the LGBT BD revue (featuring some of my art from issue #2), you can find the very first promotional leaflet for my new comic LUST (french speak...

In case you didn't notice, I slow down the rhythm between each step, it gives a little more time to watch the stages.
That panel from page 10 was not an easy one. Drawing a body bending over is tricky, but I'm happy with the result here.
Usually I think the hair stage, and the shading make the drawing complete, but with ...

I finally got this LGBT magazine published by a french LGBT association. This illustration of mine from last year got selected to feature on the cover of their january very first issue. The title fits the artwork very well, saying "IT IS ONLY LOVE".
It doesn't show here, it's actually graphite rendering and digital colors.

These 4 days were really intense, I sign so many comicbooks & drawn a lot, mainly using ink, which is kinda rare nowadays for me when you see my art for some time now. I will show you some of the best pieces I produced.
The very good news are double: first, I'm selected amongst other artists to be part of the very first er...

I totally forgot to post this process from the last panel of LUST comic page 9 last week, sorry. I was on an exhausting 4 days comiccon and I'm gonna post about it soon.

When compositing the page, I regretted w...

The launch month of my comic LUST has gone wonderfully with the 8 first pages published! So thrilled & excited by this project, already working on page 13!
Thanks to all my supporters, my patrons and the newcomers, you rock!😃
This panel was so HARD to fully imagine & finally draw. The pose had diffrent versions. One was both arms still wrapped in the shirt/suit he's pulling off, but it was so weird, like he's floating in the air. At last I decided to go further in the movement, like the left arm's the first free and he's using it to not fall as h...

Who could imagine that the first ever printed thing of my comic LUST would be the credit card from my new bank??! First time I see you can custom such thing and I'm pretty pleased with the result featuring a panel from page 2 😃

Oh it's been too long I didn't draw some ARMPIT damnit!! And as usual, it's the perfect excuse to study once more anatomy, it's really not that easy, with the body all along this pose. But let's face it: it's yummy to see, all the more with that smile. Oh, that's not what you're lookin' at, folks?? :-P
Thanks for your support,...

A very original process here, as I started with the background, the bamboos, right after the sketch. I don't remember why, as I usually always perform the background after the characters.
The fun fact about this panel and the two previous ones from page 7 is I didn't intend to have any leaf here, no messy stuff in the ba...
