I use smooth, hot-pressed aquarelle paper to ink on and then tape to a board to paint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63938293a55a7f2bd6d6e601/fec67e6b-b602-4769-9105-6499025ecdd0/Screen+Shot+2022-12-09+at+14.04.28.png Blog - A New Book - Make it stand out This is drawn on very white paper with a parallel pen, which I filled with waterproof ink. I then scanned it and used Photoshop to color it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63938293a55a7f2bd6d6e601/c1d62f18-5dc1-4fcd-939b-0ebd3527f752/FLOERE_TEST_WATERCOLOR_nightscene_final+copy.jpg Blog - A New Book - Make it stand out This is drawn on ultra-white paper with a stiff pen nib and then colored with watercolors. Most people I have shown my tests to prefer this look. The lettering was done digitally with a font originated by Willy Vandersteen, a Belgian comic legend, which I love because it’s from the same period as the original story, adding to the nostalgic, retro feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63938293a55a7f2bd6d6e601/530f7f10-4808-496b-a027-a268befc6def/IMG-6196.jpeg Blog - A New Book - Make it stand out After taking a few weeks to thumbnail the book and adding all the text in Indesign, I am now penciling all 150 pages. I rough out the pencils in blue — a habit from my animation days — and then rework in pencil on the aquarelle paper. I will adjust and improve again when I ink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63938293a55a7f2bd6d6e601/115419d5-25ba-4b9a-b95b-13360dafe1ef/Screen+Shot+2022-12-09+at+14.12.22.png Blog - A New Book - Make it stand out As a comic book fan, no visit to Belgium can be done without taking this selfie. https://www.fredericduchau.com/blog/a-start-of-a-new-adventure monthly 0.5 2022-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63938293a55a7f2bd6d6e601/a01e039c-b349-4f82-907f-b85bcbea70d4/AMELUNA_socialmedia_group.png Blog - The Start of a New Adventure - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63938293a55a7f2bd6d6e601/ca0a73dd-21fa-4e4e-ab0c-29db6484ebb6/Ameluna_65_400_PAINT_FLATS_socialmedia_2+copy.jpg Blog - The Start of a New Adventure - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63938293a55a7f2bd6d6e601/e508e25e-3563-47b6-81fe-7bd8b90900ac/ANGOULEME2009BEST+UNPUBLISHED+PRICE.jpg Blog - The Start of a New Adventure - Make it stand out A long time ago I won a prize at the Angoulême festival for comic books in France, as best unpublished artist.
