Diane - Alien Girl
This one is an old and quick drawing done for a self portrait contest.
I've drawn myself as an alien girl with some Giger-like textures on the cheeks :)
A4 paper, 5 hours. 2B and 5B pencil

Diane - Blood Lover
This one is a self portrait as a vampire (inspired by the egyptian mythology...) . I've started it with a mirror but it was too long, so I've continued with a bad photo (not exactly the same pose, but it has been very useful for the shading).
I know it doesn't really look like a vampire at the first sight, but I'm a little bit tired of long pointy teeth, so this is my own version :)
No refs used for the hair, jewelry, snake....
18 hours
2H, 2B and 5B pencils
A4 paper

Hope you'll like it :)

Diane - Young King
The guy is the young king of a swamp tribe. He has some piercings and tattoos on his face showing his power. He has also the longest hair of the men of the tribe to claim his king status. He's wearing lots of snails shells (on his crown, clothes, necklace), symbol of his wisdom and perseverance...
I should stop writing stupid stories...

It has been done on the cheapest printer paper found in the supermarket so kill me for my lack of will (I didn't want to go to buy good paper... too lazy to walk out of my house).

A4 paper, 0,3mm HB mechanical pencil, 2B and 8B pencils, approx 30 hours.
The hardest part to do has been the blurry one! It had just killed me!
The upper part of the head looks very crappy because of the scan I've tried to fix it but it looks bad compared to the original.

  • Diane Thank you :) The top of the head looks better on the original drawing ;) The scan is crappy, actually... I couldn't manage to get a better reproduction :(

Diane - Mother Earth
This drawing represents Nature.... not much to say about it ;) I just wanted to do a detailed work with pencil. The model is Laetitia Casta, a French model and actress.

HB and 4B pencils on A4 paper
20 hours approx.
Contrast adjusted in Photoshop CS because of the bad scan.

Done listening to Depeche Mode "Playing the Angel" and Within Temptation "Mother Earth" ;)
