Aaand a new close-up of my next drawing, with the small progresses my depression allow me to make, haha. #drawing #linkinpark #linkinparkfanart #braddelson #wip #lineinprogress #fanartmusic #violetbottle https://www.instagram.com/p/BxiQKLbgVbM/?igshid=1fifl69d67f0a
A savage WIP. Of a drawing. Starring Brad Delson. Well, a detail only.
Given my actuel speed, see you next month for the full inked thing, haha :’D
Aaaand a W.I.P. Again. But it’s been a long time since I did backgrounds, and Brad’s hair MtM-era are a really calming thing to draw. And once again, a music video from ATS inspired me, thanks Iridescent/The Catalyst :D

Rough of a “maybe-one day” character, made during a break at work ! I have a bunch of those roughs that I’ll probably post soon (and even ink them at home, one can hope :’D)
Back here after a long time of “put myself together again, episode 6”, even though I’m still struggling to write a conclusion to this one.
And after all this time, I still remember my password. Now that’s the truest victory of the night :D
So, coming soon, new LP fanarts with a slightly updated style, and other things I’ve been working on lately o/
Quick sketch while I travel from Montpellier to Paris to spend the weekend with my boyfriend.

Another quick doodle during a break at work. I'm doing mostly doodles at this point, but this one looks strongly inspired by my last attempts to a chara-design for a (maybe one day ?) fan-comics about A Thousand Suns... This idea got stuck in my mind for too long now ^^' #doodle #quickdrawing #linkinpark #linkinparkfanart #mikeshinoda #youngshinoda #meteora #sketch #blueink #violetbottle #fanart #portrait #fanartmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/BpPXjjLBnQp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=169nh1p4d3eaa

Inktober jour 2, avec mon premier joker de sortie de liste ! Cette fois-ci, je passe sur les thèmes de Boulet, donc le thème What lies in the dark avec un fanart de Boo de Monstres et Compagnie... Et un autre genre de monstre tapi dans l'ombre de sa porte ^^' Inktober day 2, and I'm already allowing myself to use a joker by switching to the Boulet's prompt, and draw the "What lies in the dark" theme. Here's Boo, from Monster Inc., chasing another kind of monster... #inktober #inktober2018 #inktoberday2 #bouletcorplist #whatliesinthedark #drawing #draw #fanart #monsterinc #santa #christmas #boo #violetbottle https://www.instagram.com/p/BocT9LEHHNs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=131qgisn1qdfl
Deuxième année d'Inktober pour moi, cette fois en liste officielle avec Empoisonné avec un fanart de Poison Ivy en Méduse. Réussirai-je à nouveau à finir le mois ? :D Second year of Inktober for me, this time with the official list and today, Poisonous with a fanart of Poison Ivy as a Medusa. Will I finish the month like last year ? :D #inktober2018 #inktober #fanart #poisonivy #Medusa #ink #inkdrawing #dccomics #woman #1stoctober #drawing #draw #comicfanart #violetbottle https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZsEPEnROq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gdmtugnzrw54

From visionary filmmakers James Cameron (AVATAR) and Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY), comes ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment. When ...
*watches the last Alita trailer*
*A wild Linkin Park’s New Divide cover appears !*
*starts singing without even realising it’s actually this song*
Well, I guess I’m too far gone into this fandom.
While it’s still time, I have to say that this trailer looks good so far, I can’t tell for the story or how much it’s accurate to the manga (and it’s not what matter the most anyway imo), but well, it has good chara and background designs.
*go back to singing New Divide*
Dammit it’s stuck in my head now.

Dear Chester,
One year. Wow. Would I be crazy to say I didn’t think this day would come ? One year seemed to be a very, very long time if grief came into the picture. And it was going to be.
I don’t remember much of the 20th of July 2017, you know. I just saw your name everywhere on Twitter and thought “Oh, is it a new song ?”. It could have been so, since Talking to myself had its music video the same day (or the day before). Then there was the news. First thought was : “I wait until the guys confirm”, hoping they wouldn’t.
Damn it, I didn’t even knew you personally, but it felt like a Hell I hoped I would never go back in again. I was really, really devastated. For you. I couldn’t help but imagine how your last day felt like, I couldn’t stop the aching feeling that created the images in my mind. I remembered when suicide, years ago, nearly took me. It’s something I don’t wish to anyone. And the fact that you’ve been convinced by it haunted me for days. You seemed like a genuinely kind and generous spirit, how did you said one day ? “Most passionate beast of the wild” ? Well, you, among other people and influences, ignited passion of creation and art in my heart. It seemed so unfair.
October looked like a hope to heal. Dedicating Inktober to you and LP was an evidence. I met people suffering like me, uplifting each other, and some of them are really nice people, you know ! And the tribute to you... Intense, really. Everybody was so brave...
But in the end, Chester, all I did was breaking myself apart. Quickly after, all the good October brought to me had fallen to ashes. I looked at my life, far from being satisfied, knowing that my vow to make you proud was sincere when I adressed it to others, but not to myself. My demons were back, harder this time, so hard I couldn’t even think of listening to your songs anymore, the way I used to. I had to tear apart the life I had, get away from a relationship that were eating me alive, to learn to trust people again and to accept their help. I’m still working on it, you know. And you know what made me think ? Bingo, you.
One day. YouTube played Powerless. It hit me right in the guts. I don’t know if I was picturing myself being on the giving or receiving end of the song, but it knocked me out anyway. I knew it by heart, you know, but in the light of what was my life at this moment... It was as if I discovered it again. As if I listened to you voice for the first time in my life.
You were there. You stopped being a ghost. You started becoming a light.
So, yeah. One year has passed. One year to truly see what it’s like to change direction. And to really want to. I know I’m talking a lot about myself, and maybe I’m finally just stealing a little of your eternity to just rant about my poor little soul, but today, I realize I’m not feeling like talking to a stone or a broken clock. I’m talking to a friend through his music. I’m talking to a shade of pink in the sky, to a little pin I turned to a medal for a wristband, to the same glim of light Mike has in his eyes now and that I see in everybody healing a learning to live again...
If you ask me, yeah, one year.
And I still do.
Trying to draw buildings
yo here’s a useful tip from your fellow art ho cynellis… use google sketchup to create a model of the room/building/town you’re trying to draw… then take a screenshot & use it as a reference! It’s simple & fun!
Sketchup is incredibly helpful. I can’t recommend it enough.
There’s a 3D model warehouse where you can download all kinds of stuff so you don’t have to build everything from scratch.

This is an incomplete tutorial, and it drives me crazy every time I see it come around.
We live in a pretty great digital age and we have access to a ton of amazing tools that artists in past generations couldn’t even dream of, but a lot of people look at a cool trick and only learn half of the process of using it.
Here’s the missing part of this tutorial:
How do you populate your backgrounds?
Well, here’s the answer:
If the focus is the environment, you must show a person in relation to that environment.
The examples above are great because they show how to use the software itself, but each one just kind of “plops” the character in front of their finished product with no regard of the person’s relation to their environment.
How do you fix this?
Well, here’s the simplest solution:
This is a popular trick used by professional storyboard and comic artists alike when they’re quickly planning compositions. It’s simple and it requires you to do some planning before you sit down to crank out that polished, final version of your work, but it will be the difference between a background and an environment.
From Blacksad (artist: Juanjo Guarnido)
From Hellboy (Mike Mignola)
Even if your draftsmanship isn’t that great (like mine), people can be more immersed in the story you tell if you just make it feel like there is a world that exists completely separate from the one in which they currently reside – not just making a backdrop the characters stand in front of.
Your creations live in a unique world, and it is as much a character as any other member of the cast. Make it as believable as they are.
Great comments and tutorials!
I’m a 3d artist and have been exploring the possibilities of using 3d as reference for 2d poses. I want to add a couple of tips and things!
Sketchup is very useful for environment references, and I assume it’s reasonably easy to learn. If you’re interested in going above and beyond, I highly recommend learning a proper 3d modeling program to help with art, especially because you can very easily populate a scene or location with characters!
Using 3ds Max I can pretty quickly construct an environment for reference. But going beyond that, I can also pose a pretty simple ‘CAT’ armature (known in 3d as a rig) straight into the scene, which can be totally customized, from various limbs, tails, wings, whatever, to proportions, and also can be modeled onto and expanded upon (for an example, you could 3d sculpt a head reference for your character and then attach it to the CAT rig, so you have a reference for complex face angles!)
The armature can also be posed incredibly easily. I know programs exist for stuff like this - Manga Studio, Design Doll - but posing characters in these programs is always an exercise in frustration and very fiddly imo. A simple 3d rig is impossibly easy to pose.
By creating an environment and dropping my character rig into it, I have an excellent point of reference when it comes to drawing the scene!
Not only that, but I can also view the scene from whatever angle I could ever want or need, including the character and their pose/position relative to the environment.
We can even quickly and easily expand this scene to include more characters!
Proper 3d modeling software is immensely powerful, and if you wanted to, you could model a complex environment that occurs regularly in your comic or illustration work (say, a castle interior, or an outdoor forest environment) and populate the scene with as many perspective-grounded characters as you need!

Look at this amazing addition! This is fantastic!
I tried Sketchup before but did struggle a lot with it X_X Maybe I should give it another try sometime ….
