Merci beaucoup Claire

avec plaisir

Hi! This is sooo good! Again a few lines and it is just like him, the old man!

Hello Evelin, thank you very much Despite my progresses with pencils, I still prefer this kind of ink drawings... Maigret... my favourite literary character

Yes, this is great technique! I remember watching him on Hungarian television (we were only tuning in to Hun-tv, never YU-tv) and Hungarians synchronized his voice, so he was 'talking' Hungarian

I have to confess I haven't watched the films featuring Gabin, I watched some episodes with Bruno Cremer, another great actor for this part. I stumbled into this image and I immediately liked it, Jean Gabin in just as Simenon describes Maigret... I love Simenon even because his books (with Maigret) are generally no longer than an hundred pages, so if it's interesting (and generally it is) you can read it in an evening... I know there are countries which doesn't dub tv shows or films... here everything is dubbed and translated... so here they're talking italian!

Yes, the correct word in English is 'dubbed'...thank you! Imagine in Serbia the writing is in Cyrillic takes me one minute to read one sentence

You're welcome Evelin Well, at least cyrilic have some letters in common with our writing... the a, the 'c' is 's', 'h' is 'n'... but it could have been worse, just imagine having to learn hiragana, katakana and kanji...!

Enjoy your evening! As I promised I will let you know if/when Gabriel replies: he just replied! He is fine, he asked me how must the photograph look for the 2021 competition

Thank you very much I'm happy for it Enjoy your evening too

Merci beaucoup Didier

Thank you Bob

Excellent contribution. I like the expression and the textured effect you created!

Thank you very much Mike immediately liked this photo as soon as I saw it

very good job. I especially like the effect you got on the jacket. Very interesting

Thank you very much Beata I don't know very much the movies, but in the books Simenon describes Maigret wearing a thick coat with velvet collar... I tried to obtain an effect which could recall heavy wool!

Honestly saying i havent watched or read it, but you did it great. It's nice that you are trying to create different textures

I was inspired this way of using ink with a dry brush by Angelo Stano, an italian comic artist... I searched the net for some good image but I can't find any, since his best are comic pages There's a new version of Maigret, starring Rowan Atkinson as the commissaire, but it lasted only four episodes... but the old series are the better in my opinion... Have you spent a good weekend? Or do you work on shift?

The weekend was free ... fortunately So sleeping, walking with the dog, some visits and reading about drugs ... But today was a long day at work And how are you? How's your job search going?

I walk the dogs too, I'm up at five everyday! I'm still applying for that!

oh wow haha ​​.. wake up call very early at 6am im like a zombie... how many dogs do you have? As for work - dont worry, it seems to me that it is a quiet hard time, at least in Poland it is hard to find anything now, companies are afraid to hire new employees. In which industry are you looking for?

I have five dogs! I go out with them two by two I'm taking into account nearly all jobs... but I worked as rescuer in an ambulance some time ago, it lasted a year... but I loved that job very much, I feel fulfilled in helping others...

ohhh so awesome.. i love dogs. Man's best friends ... it's really hard work, but I admire the profession. It is extremely heavy and responsible. In Italy, you have to graduate from university or is a course enough to work like this?

No, you have not to be graduated, as you only are there to help actual doctors... you obviously have to do courses, but are offered by them. The final evidence which states here is full of good people? Almost everyone loves dogs or cats or any other kind of animals!

I only have one dog ... of course I would like to have more, but I don't have enough space. My dog ​​is almost 15 years old .. Such a dear old man

Mine are younger... younger and more stupid!

it's a bit like with children haha ​​... I was lucky we practically grew up together. So we did stupid things together (although I can't say he got wiser with age) But it's great to remember that

Oh, I still do stupid things together... but I should call myself grown up by this time!

grown up, mature and serious haha. After all, 25 years obliges!

Have a great evening Beata

Have a good evening too Fabio

Belle réussite, de très beaux contrastes et ressemblant! Grand Bravo Fabio!!

Bonsoir Anita, merci bien J'ai aimé cette photo du moment que je l'ai vue!

Bonsoir Fabio!! ce cliché , t'a beaucoup inspiré et cela t'a donné des ailes pour bien le dessiner!

C'est vrai Merci encore

Tu progresses,

J'essaye toujours d'améliorer mes dessins...

C'est bien d'être appliquer et méticuleux!!

On est d'accord

Bonne nuit Anita

Nice contribution to the game

Thank you very much I love Maigret books

On le reconnait bien..un beau et fin coup de crayon..

Merci beaucoup Karine C'est encre de chine

pas évident à l'encre car on n'a pas beaucoup de marge pour l'erreur..

Je dessin à l'encre plus facile que avec des crayons... j'ai toujours des problemes avec les ombres avec la graphite!

il faut essayer plusieurs techniques..les hachures au crayon pour apporter des contrastes ou l'estompe au fusain..avec un petit carnet de croquis..il faut s'entrainer...

Oui, c'est vrai Je utilise le papier d'imprimante pour entrainer moi

si le papier ondule trop..ce n'est pas le bon support

molto bello!! pensavo che fosse a matita! hai usato una spugnetta per le ombreggiature?

Sì, il pennello con inchiostro semisecco A mo' di spugnetta Grazie mille Raffaella Ti auguro una buona settimana

forte!

j aime beaucoup juste comme il faut.

Merci beaucoup demanart
