Place de la Bastille in Paris – an allegory The photo was taken on May 8th 2007. I’m not 100% sure what protest it was, but as it was a week before Sarkozy was elected President, I assume it was a protest against him. Of course, it’s a […]
There are two things I’m trying to improve these days. My drawing skills, and my Japanese skills. Last October, we can say that my attempt at Inktober was a success. That doesn’t mean that all the drawings I made were good – they weren’t – it means that the challenge […]
What happened to me posting pictures of France during the summer? Well, life happened, and being busy with my Japan blogs, and Inktober too. So, let’s try: posting pictures of France during the end of autumn. 🙂 This is Rocamadour : Rocamadour, despite being a bit too […]
I was doodling a few days ago, and out of nowhere I realized that I had drawn an angry cactus! Don’t ask me why, I have no idea. Ask my subconscious instead. Apart from that, I seize the opportunity to tell you that I may post […]
That’s it. I’m done. I managed to finish the 31 drawings of Inktober. It took me about two months, but for me, the challenge never was drawing 31 things in 31 days. It simply was about drawing again after an interruption of several decades. And before you read any further, […]
Wow! Here we are! Day 31 of Inktober! I made it (sure we’re on November 7th, not October 31st, but who cares?). I didn’t think I would (I’ll probably write one more post on the topic to tell you about my impressions, feelings and all that). Day 31 is Slice, […]
On campus, not too far from my office, there is this set of stairs: There’s really nothing special about them. Just stairs. While I don’t walk past them every day, I’ve walked past them enough times. And there’s really nothing special about them. I even used them […]
For some reason, I had to draw a Pokémon sooner or later for this Inktober challenge. Today’s prompt, Jolt, was the perfect occasion (and seeing some drawings online, I’m not the only one who had the idea). So here is my drawing of Jolteon for it (in three versions, I […]
For today’s Inktober prompt, Double, I tried something new. Instead of drawing from a picture or another drawing (or sometimes from my own imagination – those are the bad drawings), I drew from an actual object: In case you’re wondering, it’s a metal puzzle from Hanayama and they’re […]
Gift is day 28’s prompt of Inktober this year and since the first time I saw that, I knew that I wanted to draw le Schtroumpf Farceur (Google is telling me that he’s called the Jokey Smurf in English). However, after a couple of attempts, my smurf looked pretty ugly […]
