I still work with a limited color palette. The background color is created from a mix of Neocolor II crayons, blended on a
palette and applied with a brush. I don’t use Neocolor II entirely like gouache nor entirely like oil pastels — instead, I
combine all these technique #neocolor2 #kidlitart

Atalanta worships the goddess Artemis, symbolized by several animals — the quail, the swan, the bear, and the deer. Some of these motifs can be found in Atalanta’s costume. I also drew inspiration from certain outfits from Xena, Warrior Princess. #illustration #kidlitart #greekmyth #neocolor2

Here’s a second image on the same theme as before — the Greek myth
of #Atalanta. She’s a few years older now, as are her bear brothers and sisters.

I couldn’t resist getting the full box of 84 Neocolor II crayons, but I only
ever use a handful of colors at a time. I like to mix them directly on the
paper, or sometimes on a palette beside me, using a brush.#illustration #kidlitart #neocolor2 #carandacheneocolor #atalante

I started with a brown underpainting made with Neocolor I, worked with a
brush and white spirit.
Neocolor I is completely waterproof, si the drawing underneath stays
intact when I add the Neocolor II layer. #greekmyth #neocolor2 #carandacheneocolor #illustration #atalante

Atalanta was taken in by a mother bear, and now sleeps among her
brothers and sisters.
I work with Neocolor II crayons and smoothing with a papier towel or a water brush (felt tip is my favourite), using as little water as possible.

Here is my contribution to #kidlitpostcardday This piece is inspired by the story of the Greek mythological figure Atalanta. She was abandoned in the forest by her parents, who wanted a son, and was adopted by a female bear. #kidlitartpostcard #KidLitArtPostcard #KidLitArtPostcardDay

Inktober day 27: Beast
I was obviously inspired by the Disney animated movie "Beauty and the Beast" but my version of the beast is more half bear/ half Mountain-goat 🙃

Inktober day 25: "dangerous"
I was looking for inspiration for this theme and came across Olga Barantseva's beautiful photos. I can't imagine the courage of her models to pose with such dangerous animals.
