Fan Art by Lilian Coquillaud

Lilian Coquillaud never had the sketchbook in his hands but he could be part of the contributors if we would have more rooms available in this book. I wish we could get that high quality Fan Art everyday for Sketchtravel. Lilian Coquillaud just send us his astonishing hommage for Sketchtravel and we are very proud to share it with you.

And what about you ? What would you have done in the Sketchbook ? Please, feel very free to show your ideas.

Artbook Rébecca Dautremer. The Absolute Book.

Le Artbook de Rébecca Dautremer, proposé par les fameuses éditions du Chêne. est enfin disponible ici
Ce livre d'une extraordinaire qualitée d'impression, vous propose une visite guidée dans l'imaginaire de l'illustratrice française la plus plébiscitée. Loin de se limiter à un inventaire des meilleures illustrations de l'artiste, il dénote par son audace de mise en page et son contenu singulier qui surprendra les fans les plus avertis et séduira les nouveaux venus. Il révèle également de nombreux secrets, des nouveautés, une interview inédite, les coulisses de fabrications, de nombreuses photos et offre plus que tout un regard différent sur l'auteur désormais incontournable.
Déjà un classique, évidemment un Must. Qui a dit que l'Art contemporain et la photographie avaient le monopole des beaux livres ?

Mike Lee/Interview !

Hello Mike, How did you get the sketch book?

There was a bit of a mixup in the beginning.  I first received the book from Vincent Nguyen, but they knew I take many grueling hours with my pieces so we figured Peter Nguyen should work his inking magic first.

-What do you think about this collective project?

There are so many inspiring and positive ideas encapsulated between the red bindings.  To me, the most appealing thing about this project is that we all in part have given a moment of our lives to create this time capsule.  Each image able to reflect who we were as artists and how much of ourselves we chose or were able to give.

-Who gave you the sketchbook and whom did you give it then?

I received the book from Peter Nguyen and I gave it to Vince who then handed it off to Katsuya Terada in Japan.


-What technique did you use?

I use TomBow Mono Graphite Pencils: 5H - 6B.  But the 2 most crucial tools are my kneeded erasers and my favorite, the all powerful Sakura Electric Eraser. (it does wonders)


-Did you have already and idea of what you would draw in it?

To be quite frank I was scared out of my wits, but after bringing it home and seeing all the breathtaking drawings and paintings ideas just started to flow.


-Who(in the contributors) would you like to work with in the future?

I've had the greatest privilege of working with several of the the artists already over at Blue Sky.  Unfortunately when I first started Dice Tsutsumi had just left for Pixar so I never got a chance to work with him.  His sensitivity to light, composition, color, and value is something i've looked up to for quite a while.  Hopefully someday I'll have the chance to work and learn from him.


-What are your news (signatures, upcoming books, movie or else)?

I recently finished working on the third saga of "Ice Age."  On the side I'm working with Gerald Guerlais and many other fantastic artists for the next Rendezvous book as well as some personal projects.

Thank you again SketchTravel!!

Vincent Nguyen has just brought the Sketchbook in Japan to Katsuya Terada.

Here is one of the most surrealistic picture ever done during the Sketchtravel's trip. And I am not talking only about seeing Vincent Nguyen with a tie.
If you follow this adventure well, previous contributor was Mike Lee. Mike gaves the sketchbook to Vincent Nguyen, who already brought his astonishing contribution several months ago.  As you may know, when we have to bring the sketchbook from a country to another, we can count on many artists involved in the project. Vincent Nguyen is one of those awesome artists you can trust. Vince brought the Sketchbook in Japan to great Artist Katsuya Terada during...Dice's wedding !! Can you believe this ?
Congrats to Mrs and Mr Tsutsumi ! And have the happiest honey moon ever !
