Figaro in Pinocchio

I think I need to watch this movie once again.

Animation

I've been pretty busy with doing all of my portfolios for the studies. You know from a previous (and old) article that I'm a Disney fan, and I have always loved animation sketching. I'm really into it now, and my hand can't stop from drawing over and over a character under thousands of face expressions and movements, even if I got still a lot to work on. 

This is a character I have created.

The dog face expressions and the frog are sketches I have made using Preston Blair books, where I have learnt how to make a story-board and the basics of character sketching. 

 I just love how this mouse really seems to fall straight down in a hole!

That's Figaro, the cat that appears in the Pinnochio movie and Pluto&Figaro cartoons. I have tried doing the 2014 records of the Gobelins school admission exams, making Figaro jump on a sofa.

Dior 2015 Haute Couture Show?

Whether it was on the runway, in Vogue or at the 40th Ceremony of Cesars, you have already obviously seen this wonderful Dior dress somewhere. Marion Cotillard was wearing the star dress of the 2015 Haute Couture Dior Show, for the 40th Ceremony of Cesars. This illustration is just a part of a project i'm working on, maybe a gift i'll make for Dior Poland...who knows? ;)

You can see the making of of the dress using that link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEDgf_ezWFw

Diorling for a Dior Miss

Hi there! So today I wanted to share with you a gift I've made for Martina :)But first...let me show you some of the "Diorling"'s history:
In 1963, Dior creates the Diorling, a pure frangrance imagined by Paul Vacher. We could describe Diorling as a chypre-leather but also as a real woodland smell. In the 60s, this perfume for women reveals an unexpected character for the time it had been created. Diorling is a mix of citrus oil and bergamot essences. Its heart unveils a floral bouquet of roses, violets and indian jasmine. An elegant path of wooded trail reveals notes of leather, oak moss and amber.

[...] when I draw,  I don't really think about the outcome. You see, when i draw this way, i just try giving real expressions to my characters, even though they are drawn in the simplest way. [...] when you stay with a person for a long time, when you get to know that person, you can hear that person's voice in your head when you get a message from her. Well for me, I can express this by illustrating them. It just feels like i know their personality so well. [...] Here's a scene that actually happened last day:

Me, Meike.
