Hey there, This month, ONU Femmes France celebrates a fascinating woman. We all know her face, we’ve seen her since childhood, but few of us know her name. I give you: Hedy Lamarr, the woman who inspired Disney’s Snow White. She was an Austrian actress and movie producer, and was considered the most beautiful woman. But the reason I want to talk about her today is that she was also an inventor.

Insects

Hey there, I recently took an online class by Laura McKendry, whose style I love and I find so loose and fresh, and for that class I made a couple of drawings about insects. I discovered how much fun they are to paint or draw! This first one I painted with watercolor the basic shape I wanted to do, and then I drawed with pencils on top. In this second one, I tried to paint them walking in different directions and to look more lively :)

Psycho-cat

Hey! Here is a small drawing of my cat, whose favorite posture is to lie on the back. She’s often in that weird mood in-between cuddly and psycho-cat, lying a trap full of claws when we try to pet it :)

Hi there! A few months ago, I took the Domestika class “Watercolor illustration with Japanese influence” by Flor Kaneshiro. It inspired me to design the following characters. For the little girl in kimono, I took inspiration with a kimono I bought in Japan. The panda is more in Chinese style.

Hello, Last Tuesday, October 12, was Ada Lovelace Day. Many other artists shared their illustration of Ada Lovelace, as well as a short biography of her. I wanted to share mine as well. As many said before me, she was a Mathematician and the first person ever to design a computer program when computers didn’t even exist, and at a time where it was often believed that women were only interested in “futile things”.

Hello, Last weekend, I went to the parc and was happy to see the rich colors autumn is giving to the trees. I collected a few leaves and branches and it inspired me to this painting.

Hello, This post continues on the topic of doodling, this time with plants and trees. Plant and Tree Doodles Again, I started by taking ideas over the web, and collecting doodles. Composition of tree doodles Now, we can turn those doodles into a unique composition. And voilĂ ! Transforming photos into doodles We can also browse the web for actual photos of trees and transform them into doodles. This can be very fun too!
