I like the way it was colored! I thought it's machine-printed until I saw the close-up shot. Very professional job. Congratulations!

Congratz, your post has been resteemed and, who knows, will maybe appear in the next edition of the #dailyspotlights (Click on my face if you want to know more about me...)

Je ne voudrais pas me trouver face à ce chastronaute, il à l'air féroce!

Haha c'est drôle que tu dises ça parce que moi je le vois sourire de toutes ses dents au contraire .. ^_^

Moi occi :)

You make my day! Here it's a rainy day, the sky are grey and I really need to see colors all around!!! Your artwork are the perfect medicine against the grey! (PS: I love this cat ^_^)

Ooh I'm happy if it works also against the grey weather ;-) Thank you for your feedback Silvia and have a sweet evening ^_^

I'm quickly becoming a fan of your work, it looks so appealing to the eye! Can you tell me what technique you use? What paints are those? They are so bright...

Thank you ;-) I use the Neocolor II that are watersoluble wax pastels, and if you read one of my post, for example this one,https://steemit.com/art/@barbara-orenya/steemitdoodlecontest-my-wonkieride-painting-la-chevauchee-fantaisiste--eng-fr you will easily understand how it works by watching at the step by step pictures ;-)

Awesome! Thank you! I immediately checked it and now thinking of buying the pastels :) Are they going to financially destroy me?

Absolutely ^_^ LoLminuscule.png

Sounds good! I always like to treat myself with expensive stuff :D

Joking,
it's known to be a bit expensive, but as they are the tools I used every day, I find it a good investment ;-)

  • The advice I can give you is to buy only the colors you need if you are the kind like me to use only certain colors, a set is too expensive if you just use 3 or 4 colors of it...I personnally prefer to have only my favourite colors and buy them by unit...but first you have to find them individually;-) Do you have a creative shop in the nearby ..?

Ahh yeah, I am known to be visually challenged sometimes, so just a couple of colours will do just fine :)
Yeah, I think there is one nearby in the centre - what should I be looking for?

You ask for the Neocolor II from Caran d'Ache...the ones that are watersoluble (the Neocolor I are not, they are permanent wax) You choose the colors you like if they have them individually....In France, they cost between 1.40 to 1.60 euros each, frankly ,I don't consider this as an offense to my purse ;-) The colors are so intense and vivid, they are worthwhile (and so am I...)

That sounds good! I'll try to look for them over the weekend...how long does one colour last for you?

hard to tell....I would say months...you don't really need to put a lot of pigments on the sheet because it is very concentrated and rich in color, as you can see in my picture in the step by step ...I color roughly and not too heavy, it is just to deposit some pigments on the sheet, and then I dilute with a slightly wet brush (not too much water as I like the color to be dense and vivid, quite the contrary of a real watercolor work, if you see what I mean)
So in summary, it is not expensive if you have a great use of it and it lasts quite long (widely more than oil pastels that you lost a bit at each use...LoL)

I absolutely love this! Space Cat is certainly a hit to me....
