TATOO
I have always been attracted to tattooing despite my parents' disagreement. During the lockdown, a period that allowed me to confirm my desire to create, I drew flashes and became interested in tattooing. I took the plunge.
After doing 3 hand poke tattoos, I bought a reel machine.
A majority of the tattoos I made were created by myself. All my tattoos were made for the meaning they have in my eyes and not for their graphic appearance.
(Disclaimer: These amateur tattoos are not perfect and I would like to remind you of the importance of tattooing yourself in the best sanitary conditions.)
My first 3 tattoos were made at the Hand Poke: the tattoo is done by hand with a needle that is planted point by point to draw the pattern. The line is thicker and less linear.
The other tattoos were done with a coil machine, for reasons of "practice", time and sharpness of the line. All tattoos were made in black and white with very few full areas.
They are mostly positioned on my left arm (we don't see them with a long-sleeved garment) but also a few on the right, left leg and hip.

HAND DRAW
I like to use digital for everything that will be sketches, prototypes, development of ideas, etc...
It is my favorite support for its "practice", its ease of organization and the non-expending of ink or paper.
On the other hand, I used the more classic media a lot, especially during my preparatory class year in Penninghen.
The color illustration is a freelance observation drawing on CANSON paper made with a line, colored with gouache. The illustrations of the cathedrals are observation drawings freelance on CANSON paper made with a line, with a 2B pencil and then fixed with a fixing spray.
The illustration of the dog is a freelance observation drawing made with a line on CANSON paper with a 2B paper pencil and then fixed with a fixative spray, just like the word "Dune".
The last illustration is a representation of the nightmare, made on INGRES paper, in charcoal and fixed with a fixing spray.
