Hi ! I'm Gwen (diminutive for Gwenaëlle), I'm French from the south-western coast of France (sorry in advance for my mistakes in English).
I am a traditional artist who really loves colors (always with felt-tip pen), and spending time on tiny teenie-weenie details, so most of the drawings I make demand between days, weeks or even years of work sometimes, I am quite slow. ^^
Most of the time, I use models for my drawings. Either I take my own photographs and reproduce them later with felt-pen, or I use pictures found on books or on the net but I won’t share those ones, when I can't credit the original artist.
I created this gallery on Deviantart in order to discover other artists' art and share mine, so as to improve my own work as much as I can !
So please have a look to my gallery and feel free to comment - negatively or positively, I take it all, as long as it can help me learning from my fails !
Thank you in advance :)
