Super TNT


Here is a drawing about the secret life of TNT, inspired from the famous Clark Kent poster...

I made it in large,

but also in small on the back of a business card, to accompany a small chocolate box.

TNT, queen of Angry Birds! (Non Verbal Comic no 2)


Here is a second non verbal comic with TNT. It's hard to communicate without words!!!

It started with an exercise, drawing TNT as a knight in armor from a (male) model in the book about Chibi drawing.

I followed with a similar exercise, drawing TNT in a desguise, choosing Angry Birds as a theme.


It suggested the story of TNT dreaming she was a (knight) queen of the game Angry Birds, killing of the Pig King, dizzing up the red bird, all while sleeping in an Angry Bird disguise.

First try of a TNT Comic


Voici une tentative de bande dessinée non verbale, avec TNT comme principal personage, et la peluche "Smiley" qui figurait sur le balai de sorcière avec TNT. Here is a tentative of non verbal comic, with TNT as a main character, and the "smiley" plush that you could see with TNT on the broom of the witch.

Je ne suis pas trop content de la dernière image, que ce qui l'ont vu n'ont pas compris (et vous?). Peut-être que ça le sera un peu plus après encrage et coloriage... I am not too happy with the last image, most people don't get it (do you?). Maybe it will get more clear with ink and colors...

L'objectif final serait de pouvoir enseigner l'analyse d'algorithmes de cette manière, mais j'ai encore besoin de m'entrainer avec des taches bien plus faciles avant ça!!! The final objective would be to be able to teach techniques of analysis of algorithms in such a way, but I need to train much more before this!!!

Stilts Course and Camera testing


Pour l'anniversaire de J, on a pris un cours d'echasses urbaines avec Thomas de "Normandy Jump", et N, N et S (il n'y a pas assez de lettres dans l'alphabet pour etiquete tous les amis). J a teste sa nouvelle video camera / paire de lunettes de soleil, et moi mon nouveau harnais pour la Go Pro. On s'est bien amuse!!! For J's birthday we took a course of stilts, with N, N and S (there are not enough letters in the alphabet to label all friends). J tried out his video sun glasses and I tried out the harness for my Go Pro Camera. It was a lot of fun!!!

Learning to Draw: TNT as a sorceress!


A Chilean friend got upset when I called her a "sorceress". I had to show her what I meant by that. She liked the title better after seeing this drawing :)
As before, I put the intermediate drafts below for if someone wants to ink or colour an intermediate version. You should feel free to reuse my work and to improve it, just let me know and drop my name somewhere!

Learning to draw: the right portrait!


I am so proud: I finally managed to reproduced the portrait from my beginnings with this character. I must remember: the head is squared, and the eyes are neither too close nor too far.

Learning to Draw: TNT sending a kiss



All the steps, from the first sketch to the final drawing colored: I am quite happy with my work! The intermediate stages might be usefull if someone wants to try to color it themselves, as I am not too proud of my coloring skills. Now that I think about it, one could even try to ink the drawing digitally. Feel free to reuse my drawings, just let me know (and eventually mention my name when you show your work)!

Learning to draw: Jumping!


I try to draw distinct positions, I would like to be able to include this character in a comic someday. But I still need to work on being able to reproduce the same face consistently!

Learning to Draw: Another portrait


I tried myself at another portrait, I like the result but it does not look like the first!



TCS Chocolate Mousse


J'utilise comme exemple d'algorithme la recette de la mousse au chocolat, traduisant dans ce contexte toutes les questions que l'on peut poser a propos d'un algorithme. Il fallait bien que je prenne des photos de la recette pour illustrer! I am using as an example of algorithm the recipe of the chocolate mousse, translating to this context all the questions that can be asked about an algorithm. I had to take pictures of the recipe as illustration! Uso como ejemplo de algoritmo la recieta de mouse de chocolate, traduciendo en este contexto todas las preguntas que se pueden hacer sobre un algoritmo. Yo tenia tomar fotos de la recieta para servir de illustracion!

Pour n personnes, preparer n*25 g de chocolat a cuire, For n persons, gather n*25 g of chocolate Para n personas, junta n*25 g de chocolate,
