Aida MENHEIM - Illustration

The purpose of this exercise was to reference a black and white photograph and redo it identically. This allowed us to work on our perception of things, to pay attention to details : for example wrinkles, shadows on the skin, etc.

I took great pleasure in doing this work and I am very proud of it.

This drawing was done on Adobe Photoshop.

Sora from Kingdom Hearts

This drawing represents the character of Sora, main character from the license "Kingdom Hearts". It was created by Tetsuya Nomura within Square Enix.

I wanted to reproduce his character by drawing it with my graphic style. I am very proud of it and it was done on Adobe Photoshop.

Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII

On the left, is the character of Final Fantasy VII : Aerith Gainsborough (character also created by Tetsuya Nomura). On the right, we have a still life that was composed by me.

The common point with these two drawings is the practice of watercolour. This is a process that I really like and have been able to refine over time. In addition, it allows me to practice my technicality of color setting my drawings.

Asuka from Evangelion

Here is a personalized tote bag, made by me. To do this, I used a light tablet, an indelible black marker and drew directly on the bag the character’s features. In some places, I took great pleasure in mixing colours.

This has been a personal challenge, because this is my very first custom tote bag.

The character depicted is Asuka from Evangelion.

Tote bag One Piece

Sabo, Ace and Luffy from One Piece

Misato from Evangelion

Above, other tote bags I made.

This oil painting is the one that brings together all my artistic abilities. Indeed, it has earned me patience, a lot of technicality, a lot of failures; and yet the result is there.

Oil paint takes a long time to dry, which allows you to make modifications and always get better results. It makes it possible to create very realistic productions.
