Hi! everybody, don’t be surprise if my English is pathetic because I’m a French-speaking person. I don’t consider myself as and artist, but more like an occasional drawer.
About me, I’ll just say this… I’m a shy person. I like drawing and when I have the time to draw (I have a job) it’s mostly for the fun of it, not for money, it’s one of my hobbies.
First, you’ll notice that my drawings are mostly inspired from the Maple Town TV series.
I’m learning by myself how draw, to use perspective, shading, depth, good anatomical proportions, all these kind of thing. For the digital coloring, I'm a Gimp user (yup you'll have to deal with it, it's like that, I love that program). For my digital pictures, I like to use and abuse bright colors full of life. I try to make these pictures the most heartwarming and pleasurable for the eyes.
It's simple, I'm learning the tricks of the trade, so if you want to give me your comments don't be shy, I'm open minded, it's the only way to learn isn't it? If you have to tell me some real good honest advices, send me yours messages.
Thank you.

 This landscape representing Mount's Rabbit from the Maple Town Adventures was made with the drawing software GIMP. I used some screen shots of the TV series as a reference, it was quite fun to do and it was a way to get the hang of it ... I'm still working on another small version and another one of big dimensions and maybe I'll have some li'l ''corrections'' to do this and there but I'm quite happy of the results ... Also this picture is done with the mouse ^^ |

As I said before, you did a fantastic job with this! And it is very kind of you to share the original file as well. Perhaps I should try out GIMP myself.

Thanks a lot Phillip for your nice comment, yup maybe you should try it and the big advantage of this software it's free if you compare it to Photoshop or Illustrator an as powerful as these program from Adobe |

 Well I've finally finish that one *smile* Edward just learn it's always better to enjoy the sun far away of the seashore or you might have a ''refreshing'' surprise LOL ... it was really fun to color. I've found there's 2 versions of it ... So I'm just wondering if I shouldn't do also a ''pink'' version. Also I have another version posted in his ''birthday'' suit on my Inkbunny account *smile* Maple Town characters © Toei Animation Studio |

One step near heaven
 Just a li'l something I'm doodeling during my vacations ... Yeah I know ANOTHER landscape representing Mount's Rabbit from the Maple Town Adventures LOL. As always it's made with the drawing software GIMP. I used some screen shots of the film ''Maple Town Story The Movie'' were we see Johnny Dog making a circular motions seeing all of the chains of mountains nearby as a reference and this time I've tried to respect the ''original'' idea of the animators, it's quite fun to do and it also a li'l bit challenging because it must be similar to the original an I have to add a li'l pinch of myself ... I'm still working on it, some li'l ''twitching'' to do this an there, perhaps a li'l ledge over here, a cliff less there, but I'm quite happy of the results ... Also LOL for the tablet users you can all eat yout hearts out because this picture is done with the mouse ^^ ... yeah yeah I know ... I'm a bitch XD |
