Drawing: art and means of communication!

Both an art and a means of communication, drawing has been mastered for more than 67,000 years by men, while they have only been able to write for 5,500 years. Children also often draw before they can even speak. The first sketches were made by the Romans. Subsequently, it was during the Renaissance that this art was revolutionized. In the 17th century, contemporary artists Rembrandt and Poussin brought modernization and a new vision. Formerly called a contemporary artist, today the designer expresses himself in comics, manga, illustrations, press cartoons...

Ink drawing

What is ink drawing?

Ink drawing, or inking, is a technique consisting of highlighting a sketch (often made with a pencil) with a more precise layer of indelible black ink, generally black ink. China.

We then erase the pencil lines to leave only the ink visible, before proceeding with possible coloring.

If we mainly find ink drawing in the world of comics, traditional cartoons and illustrations sometimes use it.

Description
ORIGINAL WORK Reflet is a self-portrait. When I embarked on this work, which I took as an exercise at the beginning, I was far from thinking that it would become the translation into images of my experiences and my doubts of the moment. It was very difficult for me to bring this work to its end and it took me several months to achieve it, during which this woman changed her face several times... Without my planning it, I drew between the lines, characters, animals, letters and symbols, illustrating my life journey, my beliefs, my helplessness... But the message of this woman, who shakes her hair and thus lets escaping the birds of freedom, heralds of deliverance, is above all that of hope, courage and determination. Even if she turns her back on the birds, in my drawing, she does not despair until one day, after having faced with the various inevitable battles of her life, she will rediscover her dearest hope of a free life.
