As stated in this previous post , I went to a lovely vintage food truck that serves fresh homemade buddha bowls nearby the lake Annecy, France...
Of course I took a photo of this charming orange citroen truck, and then I felt to add a BlueWonkie friend to share the lunch with me

... you might know now , all my friends are imaginary ones
(why maybe not all, but the wi(l)dest part indeed...)
then I just have to summon them to have quickly a fun and playful company,
which is very handy, n'est ce pas..?

then et voilà!

here he comes, my BlueGourmand !

And his name is BlueGourmand, for it is very convenient to have an adapted-to-the-situation-name =D

HOW DID YOU DO THIS MAGIC , are you screaming ?

• first, don't scream please, it's not the most polite way to behave in a lovely post :p
• secondly, there is no magic in that,

only tremendous talent, jambo skills and enormous modesty

And in spite of my natural modesty, I will go beyond my humility to show you ~ the behind the scene ~ =D

Naaah, joke apart, I'm very pleased to show you the different steps of my process, it's very simple, cause I'm kinda lazy ;-)

• First I do a quick sketch of my friend, having meanwhile a conversation with him, aiming to know him better...

so I go on drawing and make a rough sketch.

I know it is finished when I see his air of contentment as he is preparing to bite into her burger ^_

Though, my newly drawn friend dares to ask a question :

which I do by using my light table for more quickness and a bit of laziness too ^_

Then I decide to go to my yard, where I intend to present him a bluebeauty to inspire the coloring process...

Indeed, everything is more beautiful and joyful done surrounded by nature,

and it allows a pause from the computer, which we are gonna use again,
just after finishing the coloring with pencils...

I wait a reasonable time
for mr FrenchBlueLover to finish whisper
sweet nothings in melle Hortense's cushions
and then , go back to the less funny scanner and

digitalize my good chap in order to make him travel through my computer :

In my beloved soft ARTRAGE and on my also beloved Cintiq, I erase the background, adjust some details, blend the pencils,
make minor adjustements.
I save Mr BlueGourmand in a transparent layer and upload the truck photo

Let's add a shadow for my gourmet friend...et voilà !

Hope you enjoyed this behind the scene my lovelies,
