The illustration was drawn on a watercolor paper (Arche maybe…) using a 8B graphite pencil (Faber-Castell) and a light pad. This the way we “ink”. It gives a sketchy look to our images and we like that.

Inking the illustration with a 8B graphite pencil. It allows both sharp lines and large ones, subtle greys and dark blacks. What a high tech tool!

Last step: watercolors! 🎨

Since our illustrations have very detailed lines and shadows, we can use simple colors. We also try not to be too subtle because colors may disappear when printed if they are too light.
