At the end of 2018 I've been working on 3 different publishing projects for Rusti'Kid, part of Rustica Editions. I've already worked with them on 3 projects over the years and each one has been a great experience.
This one is about wildlife and more specifically, animals of the forest (European forests). I've painted more than 70 illustrations for this book. But let's be honest, it was a bit of a dream project for me, and I've learned a lot while painting those illustrations.

PAINTING : Food illustration | Crêpes

A food illustration I've made back in October 2018. These are crêpes, a culinary specialty from Brittany in France.

DRAWING CHALLENGE : End + thoughts

This is it guys. The challenge is over. 7 days of drawing an illustration a day. It was very short but I am proud to say that I made it. And I will do it again as soon as my schedule allows it, plus I have tons of ideas! But first, let me show you the illustrations I've made.

You can see that even in a week, I had time to experiment a bit. The first two paintings were very detailed and took me a while to achieve. So on the 3rd day, I tried something looser and so, quicker. For the challenge, it worked very well but for actual client work, I may have to work with a bit more details. But anyway, it was a good experience!  x x x
