Personal work: collages of animals


 
This is some time, that I started making collages. I thought it was easy, and took less time than drawing... This is absolutely wrong! As a matter of fact, collages are very long to achieve. From the point of view of color, it's very tactful.

 
After six month of mysery :), I'm happy with these two! I hope you enjoy...
The key is to have fun, and also have good pictures to cut! Here are images of old encyclopedias. I particulary love the atmosphere created by the engraving.
 
Have a good night,

Atmosphere colors for the Lady Tartine

Ambiances tonales Madame Tartine

This is an atmosphere color board, made for the contine 'The lady Tartine',
At the moment, I love particularly indigo... This is a shade of dark blue, a little bit special. The word comes form Latin 'indicum': from India. This color is often associated with intuition and spirituality. It's also associated with the third eye chakra, also called chakra Indigo.

I think this color has a beautiful vibration and I love the mix between Indigo and warm and sensual colors: chocolate, coffe, apricot, peach and so many other...

The lady Tartine's characters

Some characters for the contine ' the lady Tartine'... This is a song for all small, with the fairy Caraboss! I teak this post to thank you for all your visit :). Actually, the blog has been visited over 3000 !. This makes me very happy and gives me even more fun to draw and illustrate!
 
 I'm in the middle of my cursus in lignes & formations and there are more and more project. Contines, like 'the Lady Tartine', fairytales, classic tales and other stories are proposed by the school. I think that the diversity of stories is very intersting but not so easy!
 
Have a beautiful day and see you soon... :)

Small hedgehods!

Dear readers! I'm back! :)

I had some problems with my internet connection... Sometimes computer are really complicated! But during this time, I worked a lot...

This is a professional project I made for school: two pictures on the same theme of hedgedhods. I love these little animals!! One of them (the first!) is a game page and the other a board that shows a naturalist article.

Have a nice day, L.

Come into the world, when the sun is fire (autumn)

Come into the world, when the sun is fire!
 
Here is the first painting of a long series (I hope!) The themes are energy and plants and flowers. I like to show the energy of trees and plants, I like to fell the sap Under the bark and Watch the trees trunks climb up to heaven to search of light.
These énergies are colors, I like to talk about these sensibles worlds with my watercolors.
 
Have a nice week-end,
                                 love, Liloux
 

Urban sketches!

Today was a very beautiful day to draw out and stroll in cities and parks. I specially like the autumn, lights are stunning and I love odors, the smell of the leaves and noises...
Colors are warm, fantastic red, Ginger other sorrel! The ochres have their place as.
Humus, gold, fire... So many inspirations!
 
I hope you enjoy, L.

Bluebeard, not even fear :)

One last post for today! This is Bluebeard, with his huge beard... and I'm much amused with that beard, which is like a torrent, with foaming and fishes :)...  Thank you so much for taking time to come on my blog :) and have a beautiful day (with a lot of fun of course) ! 
                                                                                                  love, Liloux



Research and sketches illustrating 'The love Shoes', one of the tales of the Boca street, written by Pierre Gripari



Last week, I started a new illustration work for the school. I chose a tale written by Pierre Gripari, a very talented storyteller! All his stories are filled with humor and playfulness, with a lot of sensitivity and refinement.

Two love shoes that are sad not to see the day as walking one after a other. One step after another... Poor shoes!

My painting are done in watercolors, they specify some ideas... The rest will come quietly, I hope! Not easy to illustrate love, sadness other separation... But so exciting! :)

Urban sketches and others personals works...



In my yellow little Moleskine sketchbook...


A coffee in the old town of Lausanne with friends...
In my big sketchbook, made with black pens, charcoal and watercolors



Some other of my personal work, done with collages, black pens and watercolors, about intuitions, aquatic and dream worlds... Actually I especially like working with many colors: warm orange like as fire, purple as the velvet of a flower petal, light pink and a lot of blue and green water, colors that I specially enjoy!
