Regis Loisel

Regis Loisel is a French Cartoonist. He has worked with Disney on Atlantis and Mulan. I like his artwork because he has a very delicate style and uses a range between pastel and dark colors. In some of his works it looks like he has used watercolors to paint which i like using as well. He switches between color illustrative and pencil. I also like his artwork because he draws fantasy characters and settings, this is my favorite genre so i have a soft spot for it and cant help but choose artworks based around that idea.   

In this artwork he has used dark colored pastels to convey this scene in peter pan. I like this piece because of the dark take on peter pan which is known for being a happy film, he has used colors to darken it. its also nice to see artists using different mediums apart from paint and pencil. Here it gives a grungy texture which contributes to the feel of the piece. 

In this final piece he has used pencil to draw and color in. One thing Loisel hasn't done with the background is blend it together where dark fades to  light. you can see a clear different in the techniques he has used to shade in the background. Another thing i like about his art style is that he is not afraid to draw different sized women, as you can see Tinkerbell isn't slimmed down and has some curves to her.   

This can help me with my drawings because although he likes to draw fantasy he adds elements of realism and anatomy when i comes to human figures. I can also learn from his coloring techniques with how he makes it look like watercolor.
