INKTOBER ! (Part.3)

 

    I know... We're not in October anymore... But anyway, some of those were made while it was STILL October and I will still try to reach the 31 drawings, if my imagination can hold until then :)

It will also be a matter of do I have enough time to do it with all the new things that are adding up lately in my life. Not to mention projects I have for such a long time in mind and for which it's time to move on !!

Actually, all these 4 drawings have been inspired by my environment. And I mean... Really inspired. Of course inspiration comes all the time from everything but it was when looking at what was around me that I was instantly transpose them into a black and white drawing. My favorite may be the one with the bird, because that view was so lovely and so graphic, if I may. It's possible that I wanto to do it again, in a better and more precise way, and with some colors. What do you think ? :)

 

   The first drawing has been inspired by the autumn leaves that literally cover the ground on mornings I'm working. They're from all shapes to all colours and it creates such a lovely patchwork.

   The second drawing is absolutely nothing else than descibing in my own language what I saw one afternoon while going to walk. A bird in the middle of this skinny but lovely bush...

   The third one is more or less a painted reproduction of a picture that can be seen in the booklet of the album Ghosts of Loss, by Swallow The Sun. The photographer is Tuomo Lehtonen.

   And the last picture is after a vision I had of the moon one night. It was a big, very colored half-moon, and I could see as if it was lemon slices... With its border really brighter thatn the rest, and quite thin. So that was my interpreation !

And so here you were for the explanations :)

INKTOBER ! (Part.2)

    Je suis bien en retard maintenant, mais je vais tenter de poursuivre l'aventure et me rattraper le plus possible :) En attendant, voici deux nouveaux dessins ! Thème animalier toujours...

I'm running really late now, but I will try to keep up the journey and catch up as much as possible :) In the meantime, here are two new drawings ! Still animals-themed...

On the road... To a new story

   Aujourd'hui, je vous offre un post un peu spécial puisque très personnel.
En ce jour du 23 Octobre 2015, cela fait très exactement 4 mois que je suis partie à l'aventure. L'aventure de ma nouvelle vie.

Depuis ma Provence natale, j'ai rabattu le frein à main et roulé jusqu'en Finlande, mon nouveau pays. Allemagne, Danemark, Suède... Autant de merveilleux paysages qui m'ont accompagnée durant ces deux jours et demi de voyage. Je voulais en partager donc quelques extraits ici, sous une forme assez modeste mais à laquelle j'ai réfléchi pendant pas mal de temps.

Je n'ai que peu de choses à rajouter à ces photos, si ce n'est qu'elles ne sont qu'une infime partie de toutes les merveilles que je découvre et vis chaque jour. Et certaines de ces merveilles sont des sensations tellement intimes qu'elles ne peuvent pas être photographiées, mais elles n'en sont pas moins intenses, bien au contraire.

Je ne pense pas prendre trop de risques en disant que je suis actuellement plus heureuse que je ne l'ai sûrement jamais été :)

   Today, I'm offering you quite a special post since it is very personal.
In this 23rd October 2015, it's been exactly 4 months that I went onto an adventure. The adventure of my new life.

From my native Provence, I pushed down the break and drove all the way up to Finland, my new country. Germany, Denmark, Sweden... As many wonderful landscapes that were alongside me during those two-day-and-a-half-long trip. I then wanted to share some extracts of it here, under a rather modest shape but about which I thought for quite a long time.

I have barely nothing to add to those pictures, except for the fact that they are only a tiny piece of all the wonders I am discovering and living every day. And some of those wonders are so intimate sensations that they can't be photographed, but they are not less intense, that's all the opposite.

I think I don't take too many risks by saying that I am currently happier than I have ever been :)

 

Olen onnellinen ja rakastunut :)

INKTOBER ! (Part.1)

HELLO !

Voilà maintenant plusieurs semaines, voire plusieurs mois, que je n'avais rien posté ici ! Entre des activités personnelles, un deuxième petit travail qui me prend quand même pas mal de temps, pas d'internet pendant presque 1 mois et tout simplement la vie, je n'ai pas pu trouver beaucoup de temps pour dessiner. Mais on ne se change pas et ma passion pour l'illustration commençait à se faire sentir. Alors, à la veille du mois d'Octobre, je me suis souvenue que je souhaitais me lancer dans le challenge Inktober. Un bon moyen pour se remettre dans le bain en douceur.
Comme je n'avais internet que sur mon téléphone jusqu'à présent, cela m'était compliquer de poster ici. Aussi, nous sommes déjà le 19 Octobre et je vais donc partager en bloc tous les Inktober que j'ai réalisés jusqu'à maintenant. Vous remarquerez qu'il n'y a que 14 dessins... Oui, je suis en retard, mais point d'inquiétude, les 31 dessins seront là à la fin du mois :)

Ah oui, et pour ceux qui ne le savent pas en fait, le challenge Inktober consiste en un dessin à l'encre par jour pendant tout le mois d'Octobre :) Mon interprétation en fait un dessin à l'encre en noir et blanc car ce sont des techniques que je ne maîtrise pas bien, donc double intérêt, mais la couleur est possible, tant que c'est un type d'encre ! :)

HELLO !

It's been now several weeks, or even several months, that I hadn't posted anything here ! In between personal activities, a second little job that still takes me quite a lot of time, no internet for almost a month and simply life, I couldn't find much time to draw. But one can't change oneself and my passion for illustration started to be felt. So, on the eve of October, I remembered that I wanted to challenge myself with Inktober. A good way to start the machine back while softly.
As I had internet only on my phone until now, it was complicated for me to post here. Therefore, we're already on the 19th of October and I will then share all at once the Inktober I've realised so far. You will notice that there are only 14 drawings... Yes I'm late, but no worry, the 31 drawings will be here at the end of the month :)

Oh yeah, and for those who don't know actually, the Inktober challenge consists in one drawing made with ink per day during the whole October :) My interpretation makes of it one black and white drawing made with ink, because those are techniques I don't master, so the interest is doubled, but the color is possible as long as it's a type of ink ! :)

Hello mermaid !

   Bonjour ! Me revoilà après plus d'un mois d'absence ! J'ai été en effet très occupée et c'était prévu que je ne touche ni aux pinceaux ni aux crayons pendant un certain temps, mais ça y est, c'est en train de revenir :) Alors, pour reprendre doucement, voilà une petite illustration à l'encre de Chine légèrement modifiée par ordinateur ! Cela faisait plusieurs mois que j'avais envie de dessiner des sirènes... Donc m'y voilà !

Je vous dis à très bientôt, sûrement pour une petite série de photos :)

   Hello ! Here I am back after more than a month being away ! I've been indeed very busy and it was planned that I touch neither to paintbrushes nor to pencils for a little while, but that's it, it's coming back :) So, to start things again quite slowly, here is a little illustration made with Indian ink and slightly modified by computer ! It had been several months that I wanted to draw mermaids... So here I am !

I'll see you very soon, probably for a little series of pictures :)
