It subtly evokes dust being kicked up by the movement of the train and adds an almost subliminal sense of speed and urgency to the scene. <br /><br />Effects like this can be so easily added as sloppy afterthoughts in the digital realm today. So it's a nice reminder of just how much planning had to be put into traditional work before a single color was laid down. <br /><br />I think it helps to have a bit of experience of working with Gouache to appreciate what level of skill is on display as well. The craftsmanship and attention to dramatic detail is undeniable. <br /><br />Don't know if anyone here saw it, but there was a great Moebius post by Open Culture that went pretty viral the other day. It relates his advice to aspiring artists:<br /><br />http://www.openculture.com/2015/03/moebius-gives-18-wisdom-filled-tips-to-aspiring-artists-1996.htmlTobias Allen Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644277567745913630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-56234134791078330202015-03-06T14:34:03.749-05:002015-03-06T14:34:03.749-05:00For Moebius fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...For Moebius fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNas99oEXBUNenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533922705924874763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-36348373204066955492015-03-06T13:27:53.925-05:002015-03-06T13:27:53.925-05:00Each stroke a direct hit: love it!Each stroke a direct hit: love it!Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233420155151875249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-77149469160044141382015-03-06T11:00:31.329-05:002015-03-06T11:00:31.329-05:00Considering that Giraud is French bandes dessinées...Considering that Giraud is French bandes dessinées seems appropriate.keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433553216500131553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-44889217856756673332015-03-06T10:12:10.137-05:002015-03-06T10:12:10.137-05:00Ivo, I know what you mean.

Wikipedia redirects English language searches for bandes dessinées to "Franco-Belgian comics." I suppose to distinguish them from manga, fumetti, and superhero comics. Actually this exhibition contains work from Spain, Korea, America, and many other countries.

In Belgium (Flemish part) we call them "strips".<br />But maybe for Americans "bandes dessinées" sounds more 'chique' ;-).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055371808132473950noreply@blogger.com
