Hi everybody

Just few words to say that I did not stop drawing but I have to admit that the time consacred to this decreased. I'm currently working on a portrait of my brother Olivier, 28 years old. It is called "Dirty Job". I will explain the title in a future post

Hope you guys continue to draw !!

P.S : I will post a first photo next weak. 45 hours on the drawing so far.

Hi everybody

This is a very longgg time since the last update. I passed through difficult times in my life and inevitably, drawing was put aside. I've been also thinking a lot about my art and I wanted to be 100 % sure of my next project before starting one that will be not really representative of my present state of mind. The concept is still in progress and it will be totally different of my previous work. I hope that you will like it

Hi everybody !

Already 4 months since the last journal , I think it's time to update

First of all, I want to thank everybody for the nice comments on the Armin portrait.

Last week, I tried a 3D software called zBrush. It's very powerful ! I'm currently learning it and soon I will post my first try with it. I'm very excited about learning a new medium .

Armin is still on my drawing table and his hair makes me crazy so it advances slowly.

N.B. The final drawing will be on sale so if anyone is interested to buy it, you may send me a email and we could fix a price.

Hi everybody !

So.... I think I'm still alive Another month still the last journal entry !

I've been offline since 1 week and I did'nt draw at all during this period. When I connected to my account this friday I was shocked to see all those very nice comments about the Daily Deviation. I'm honoured. I've read every single comment and I want to thank all of those who take 1 min to leave a little comment. I appreciate this. Really !

About the Armin Mersmann's portrait, after 15 hours of work, I've decided to restart it (It seems a bad habit is growing...).I overworked the area near the nose and the paper had difficulties to grab additionnal graphite layers so I've decided to start with the nose this time just for the fun.

I've realized that the choice of the first area to start with will affect the final result and I' confident that the nose is a good choice for this drawing

I'm hesitant to post the new version cuz it has only a very small portion completed (2 inches by 2 inches)... Should I post it anyway ?

Hi everybody !

1 month passed since the last journal entry so there's a brand new one

I'm still unemployed but I'm happier than ever. I have a beautiful wife and my little baby made his first step last week

I'm currently working on a special portrait that has a lot of meaning for me. The size is 18x24 so it's the biggest portrait that I ever did. I will reduce the amount of update to 3 or in my WIP cuz it's time consuming and also it can be very boring at long term.

I have worked about 10 hours on it and I'm very proud of myself so far I'm really looking forward to share it !


Thanks to all who visited my deviant page ! It is very appreciated

Take care

Étienne Brûlé
