Cécile...

Here is a drawing of Cécile drawing me...I enevr succeed to draw her properly, but if you want to see someone who makes truely honor to her beauty, go and see Armel's blog :)
Cécile is one of my best friends, and I consider her like my sister. We can share passion for Tenacious D, Alan Lee, and mostly drawing!
She is also one of the people who always motivates me so much to draw!!!
PLease also visit her blog, she is a wonderful illustrator,and her watercolours just make me dreaming!

Cécile, Armel and Hector...

Here is a blog which means a lot to me...
I started drawing again in company of Cécile, Armel and Hector, their 2 months old boy.
When I arrived in Orleans, i was totally broken because of the breakup with Pascal, but by spending time with them made me realize many things.
I made the drawings on a Daler and Rowney sketchbook (like Alan Lee) Cécile offered me, as I arrived with almost nothing.
I will never be able to thank you enough...so...big hugs to you all >_< gnnn

so, for the first drawing, it is Hector, my filleul, and what to say about you? you offered me one of my first regurgitations ever! ahah, no seriously, Hector is the first baby I ever held in my arms. I am so fond of him! he is so soft like a peach, and it is so funny to call him naughty and seing him laugh! I also love when he holds one of fingers and falls asleep, or when he falls asleep in his parent's arms! I hope to see you soon cutie pie :* smooch

Anna's dress/la robe d'Anna

It has been a while since I have posted something...here is the reason.
It is Anna's birthday present (it took me a while to make it, but it's nearly finished!)
I am sorry for the poor quality of the picture, but Pascal is away for work in the US, and he took his camera to bring back nice pictures ;), so I used my phone!
I hope you will like my first try for a corselet dress...it wasn't easy to do, as I've never been studying sewing, but I hope to start in september...

Je n'ai rien posté depuis un petit bout de temps...et en voici la raison.
C'est le cadeau d'anniversaire d'Anna (ça m'a pris du temps, mais c'est presque fini!).
je suis désolée pour la mauvaise qualité de la photo, mais Pascal est parti aux US pour le travail avec son appareil , pour rapporter de belles photos, donc j'ai utilisé mon téléphone!
J'espère que vous aimerez mon premier essai pour une robe corset...ça n'était pas très facile, car je n'ai jamais étudié la couture, mais j'espère commencer en septembre!

Just to remind you how she looked like...

It was the first "flawed" drawing I made for Illustration friday...
so you can see how the character evolved; the full drawing is in the previous page :)

La première illustration de "Flawed" que j'ai faite pour Illustration Friday...
comme ça vous pouvez voir comment le personnage a évolué; vous pouvez trouver le dessin en entier en page précédente.

(Alain et Yveline, j'ai écrit en Français!!!mais en général je ne le ferai pas pour les gros pavés, ça prend encore plus de temps ;D)

Flawed shop's owner sketches...

Here are some quick sketches I made while looking at some stupid stuff with Pascal,and sipping a good grog...
Now , the owner looks less severe. Before she was maybe too much like out of "little house" character, or too much of a holy mary...heehee
She also has a more mischievious smile, which suits better to a woman who likes selling flawed items. I will try to make some color drawings tomorrow.

Voilà quelques croquis que j'ai faits en regardant des séries débiles avec Pascal, tout en sirottant un bon grog...
Maintenant, la propriétaire de la boutique a l'air un peu moins sortie de la petite maison dans la prairie, ou moins grenouille de bénitier.
Elle a aussi un sourire plus mutin, ce qui sied mieux à une femme qui aime vendre des objets imparfaits. J'essaierai de faire quelques dessins en couleur demain.

Nighty night! Liz

A sunday afternoon in a cemetery...

Today was a really quiet day, and we've decided with Pascal to draw somewhere...initially, we were thinking about going to Brocéliande, but today, we were surrounded by barriers, as " Tout Rennes court" racers have invaded our quarter...
No escape was possible with a car, so we just ended up going to the Saint Martin Cemetery in Rennes, to draw some graves. I was also thinking about doing it in order to get some ideas for a contest...
We were quite surprized to see many people were here. This cemetery is quite interresting, there are many celtic crosses, some really wacky tombs (kind of too much), and much more creepy ones, with hands coming out of the floor...we were thinking about drawing it but it was way too creepy. We wended up sitting in an alley, to draw the vault you can see on this drawing.
We stopped at one moment, at the weather was changing pretty quickly, and the afternoon was becoming windy!
Now, time for a good grog and a hot meal!

Bluesman at Gazebo's cafe, New Orleans

A very great Blues Gig at Gazebo's cafe, it was great to rest in a cool outside place after drawing for a few hours in the sun! loved the quiet atmosphere there,and so much the drinks with lots of icecubes :)
Un très bon concert de Blues au Gazebo Café, c'était vraiment agreéable de se reposer dans un endroit aéré après des heures à dessiner sous le soleil! on a adoré l'atmosphere calme, et vraiment les boissons avec plein de glaçons!
