Ti Moun 4














Another Ti Moun cartoon, if you live in Montreal Quebec you just know that Grégory Charles is just the most annoying artist around. White people love him and think we like him (we the black community) I''ve been told that I even look like him and the idea came from that. On the artistic direction level, the comic is way too polished for my taste so in the future I'm going to give it a more humanistic touch because cartoons are mostly about people and I don't think it should be that clean. The first idea is always the best one and I will take a different approach that will look more like the 1st one I know my editor is going to flip and it's all goood !

Another illustration for the newspaper I freelance for and I also used it as the artwork for one of my mixes as you may or may not know I have a music blog as well called thegoodvibez. In all honesty sometimes I get tired of doing somewhat the same type of illustrations so I always challenge myself to add some new elements and also to polish of my work. On this piece I worked hard on the hair because I wanted a more natural look for the highlights and I like the final result, I also kept away of the thick black contour to have a realistic look. You know my technique by now if you read any of my previous posts, I always start by drawing by hand then I scan, trace in illustrator and polish off in photoshop.
