Arty weekend in the countryside

What happens when a group of illustrators take a short vacation together ? They draw a lot, of course, including themselves in each other's sketchbooks.

Arty weekend in the countryside

My partner currently lives in Senlis, which is a cute town in the countryside north of Paris. He's currently selling his flat and moving to the south of Paris, and he wanted to invite some friends to celebrate his departure. He's a great vegetarian cook and he delighted us with a vegan haggis (yes, that's possible) and a lovely brunch that we all ate after waking up late on Sunday morning.

I immortalized the brunch table in my sketchbook

Among the guests, 3 of us were illustrators, so I suggested that we all drew ourselves in each other's sketchbooks to keep a fun memory of our short stay together. We first drew in my friend Christel's (aka Bananako) sketchbook :

Me, Melody, Christel and "the boyz"

Then we drew ourselves in my own sketchbook :

Christel, Melody doing a duck face and me

Unfortunately, Melody does not usually carry a sketchbook with her, she prefers drawing on sheets of paper, so we just have these 2 versions of our drawn gang.

After we finished drawing, I used my scanning method to add some colours with Clip Studio Paint on my iPad, using a photo taken by my friend Christel during a walk we did earlier in the town :

It was short, but it was fun ! I'm now looking forward to celebrating my partner's move to Paris in a few weeks.
