Plots and drawings

Today I felt like writing a plot for a story. I usually gather my ideas in my head but I wanted to throw them on paper for once. The plot talks about a creature from the moon, that somehow landed on  earth. Humans get frightened, and call the police to put it in jail. A few days later, the inhabitant of the moon's body starts to slowly disappear. Once day, less than a quater of it is left. Narrow enough to pass between the prison bars, he escapes... 

Thats a sketch of the creature, using the graphic tablet:

Moony before he reaches Earth. 

A little later it becomes to look like this... :

And that's a Walt Disney reproduction of one illustration from the MICKEY book of 1998:

The Week of Democracy and Fraternity

The week of democracy and fraternity project aims all students to take part in debates such as tolerance and freedom. It is taking place in all french schools of central europe, and is looking forward to allow debates with primary and high-school students to build constructive ideas, so they can learn and make their own judgements, after des events of November.

This is the poster I have made for the project:

C'est le petit Nicolas qui se prend en selfie avec le reste du monde, un pied sur la tour-eiffel pour rappeler les attentats du 13 novembre.

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

Photography lessons

Since the beginning of the year, I take photography lessons at the Academy of Art in warsaw. My teacher is Paweł Bownik, and I must say, its not always easy!

Each lesson is different, and always interesting. However, lessons with models tend to be really complicated, because i'm not used to asking a model to pose in polish. Its always important for the model to feel good, otherwise there's absolutely no emotion in your pictures.

I need to train my shyness... but the pictures always come out really well! you can see some of them with that link: Pictures with models

Teacher: You need to communicate a little more with the models. Me: I know...

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.

Le Lapin de Pâques a plusieurs origines. Une d'elles vient de Saxe, où l'on honorait au printemps la déesse Eastre, qui a d'ailleurs donné son nom à Easter. Le lièvre étant l'animal emblématique de la déesse, il est resté associé aux fêtes de Pâques. De manière similaire, dans les traditions celtiques et scandinaves, le lièvre était le symbole de la déesse mère. Avouez, meme adulte vous rêvez de trouver des petits oeufs au chocolat au fond de votre jardin! Joyeuses Pâques!

Joyeuses Pâques!

Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter... in 2014, our top followed celebrities are french bulldogs and basset hounds. Known for their comic looks, these two cuties are becoming more and more popular. Some of our French Bulldogs, as Manny the Frenchie, Sir Charles Barkley and Trotter are more popular on Instagram than many celebrities, with 478,578 followers and more.

Basset Hounds are movie stars, Tumblr kings: the most re blogged dogs are our lovely sad faces, who of course became popular thanks to Warner Bros. with "Droopy", and by playing royal dog roles in movies.
Instagram Kids, Tumblr Kings, they appear everywhere and become stars on social medias:

Pixar

Did you know...? That All Disney Pixar films have a secret "Easter-egg" - a sort of clue - that shows what the next film will be about? For example, in Ratatouille, when Remy climbs up to the roof, at the 2nd floor, you can see the shadow of the dog in "UP", which came out as to be the next film.
So, just for you, I spent my day looking for 3 hard ones.. Are you able to find more? Write in the comments below!

After seeing this, you'll want to watch all your old Disney movies all over again. Don't thank me.

I hate taking baths. For so many reasons. One of them, is that you loose 16% of your day in water, doing nothing. [...] but I love bath bubbles. You know these for sure: strawberry, berry, wild berry, vanila, apple, banana, liquorice, pear, apricot flavoured... my favourite is:

Bain Bath Bubble

One of my numerous hobbies is travelling. I like adventures, sightseeing, discovering. Did Christopher Columbus know anything about America? Maybe stereotypes, vague ideas... [...] Nowadays we all think we know any country in the world thanks to internet. The thing is, we have no idea. To me, travelling is almost like going through a parallel world. I only traveled two times outside of Europe and it was fabulous.

Here's where I went outside of Europe:

Now thats another story. Last day, my Mom got that e-mail from a polish cook. It was an invitation for a workshop: "Cebula, szafran ...". We both love cooking, so it was an opportunity to have a lesson with Marta Gessler. [...] As we arrived, we saw pots and flowers everywhere. It was a flower workshop. Well, we haven't been dissapointed at all! It was really great:

"I want to teach you, how to observe flowers. I won't tell you anything,
because you'll find your own way."

[29.03.2014] Thank you very much for that workshop Mrs Marta!

[...] 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.

[...] She decided to use her graphic talents to illustrate Warsaw. [...] I'm writing about her because she's the one who gave me a little boost to my inspiration. Just check out her blog, you'll heart it for sure: pilulespolonaises.blogspot.com [...] so as I said, I got really inspired by her and that's what I do every saturday morning:

This, is me.
