QUENTIN LECLERCQ

ARTWORK & COMIC BOOKS


F.A.Q.

Hey !

My name’s Quentin, I’m from France.

Born in 1995.

I want to be a comic book artist and spend my life drawing and writing stories.

« I want to be shiny chrome and clean. » ♪


– What softwares do you use ?

· I use a lot Clip Studio Paint but started with The Gimp for the colouring process.

Sometimes Illustrator to treat my images or create logos.

And for videos and motion comics it’s Lightworks.

– Which drawing tablet do you use ?

· My good old Bamboo CTH-470 from Wacom.

– Any favourite mediums ?

· 80% of what I do is traditional art.

The eternal love of my life are the graphite pencil and blue pencil.

For inking I use dip pens, sometimes fineliner pens (Staedtler) too.

I then scan my work and apply colours with the above-mentionned softwares.

The rest of the time I use watercolours (Van Gogh), Ecoline (Talens) and markers (Promarkers and Stabilo).

And when i’ve got time i like to focus on oil painting.

· I don’t use A.I. generated content (pictures and musics).

However, since I work alone, I do use ChatGPT to check my grammar, spelling etc. when I am writing.

It also helps me to translate my texts in Spanish because I don’t know this language as well as French and English.

– How do you animate your motion comics ?

· Everything is hand-drawn, scanned and assembled on Lightworks. (I love to make life harder than it already is, yes…)

I don’t really like to do vector animation.

· Not at the moment. Keep an eye on my news/social medias for any informations.
