Two examples chosen from the thousand drawings made on ipad for the animated sequence.

 

 

 

 

Before, when we went on a trip, I carried my pencils and my block of drawing paper to make compositions that I scanned and colorized back home before animating them in the form of a video.

For our trip to Burma and Indonesia, I took my IPad Pro to familiarize myself with the techniques of drawing or digital painting on a tablet. Here is the result of these first tests that have not resulted in a video, at least for now.

Firstly, three compositions made of memory after the spectacle of a sunset on the Indian Ocean in tropical storm weather: a classic figurative version, then a version with more abstract forms and, finally, a very refined version.

 

 

Then other compositions using varied graphic and pictorial techniques. 

An example of the triangles, sticks and ribbons appearing under different sizes and colors in the video.

 

 

 

The drawing was made directly in digital for its most part, with some borrowings to old compositions drawn on paper in pencil or ink from China.

 

A computer breakdown and a week of repair, followed by fifteen days of travel: the opportunity to return to the beginnings of the videos, making on paper compositions combining pencil and ink from China. Less transparency and depth than in digital compositions, but more material in traits and flat.

 

 

 

Here is a series of graphic compositions, directly sketched by digital means (with the exception of a pencil-drawn background on paper for the first three).
