Just noticed, I never really did a faq.
So, I'm not really a "communicant" (does that word exist?!) but I'll try the exercise with the questions people asked me.
Present yourself
I'm an artist from France, always was and always will.
I'm catholics, no proselytism everyone is my brother, but if you're from a sect, you can take the back door to hell.
How do you work?
I do all my drawings by hand, then I chose the ones I like the most -not especially the best ones- and I clean them. Then scan it and put digital colors on it, I only publish online a very small amount of my drawings though. I do the same with my paintings, but I rarely put them online. I usually compile all the drawings I did into books for professional printing to keep a trace of everything I did for my "old" days and my after death heirs.
I'm drawing a lot of comics too, but the amount of it is too big to scan it -_-.
Do you use a tablet?
No.
I never was at ease with it, maybe it's because I'm an Asperger, but I need to feel the paper under my hands and have "full-control" of what I'm doing.
Plus, because of the disease, I have a paresthesis on the right side of my body. It's ok now, but there are many stuff I can't do with the right hand, including the work with a graphic tablet, and usually you need dexterity with your both hands for this thing.
So, mouse!
What program do you use?
My old Photoshop cs2!!!
No really I tried the x9 and never got use to it, and some other softwares but NO. I have my habits. I really think it doesn't matter which software you're using as long as you feel good with it.
Do you use android apps?
Nope, I know I'm not fun, but the reasons are the same.
What are your inspiration?
Before drawing into this "style", I was looking for one that could fit me, and as I was a huge fan of the Escaflowne anime, I started with that. Then I don't know, I didn't read a lot of mangas in my life when I think of it, but I enjoyed Kaori Yuki and Shiori Teshirogi's books. Now I rarely read it anymore. It happened a lot of times for people to send me the list of all the mangas they like, but I didn't know a huge part of the titles xd.
For the colors, I just like it that way -u-.
Did you think of stopping to draw?
I won't explain too much my disease, but I nearly died. So drawing as a pro was my last thought you know.
Drawing is a passion for me, I just don't care if I'm popular or not, I just enjoy to draw. Of course when people are buying my books I'm happy, but I'm happy as well to have done it and maybe will do others in the future. It's a revenge on all that this disease stole from me.
You're drawing since long, how old are you?
Young one you're impolite, in France, you don't ask a lady about her age!!
But I'm probably older enough to be your mom ahahah!
