Description (aka rbananas.deviantart.com/art/My... My Name is Pierre Gringoire: Part 2)

"Then you promise us that this play will be a fine one?" said Gisquette.
"To be sure," he answered. Then he added with a certain emphasis: "Young ladies, I am the author of it!"
"Really?" said the young girls, much amazed.
"Really! replied the poet, drawing himself up; "...I wrote the piece. My name is Pierre Gringoire."
-From The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo

I had so much fun coloring this, and I even managed to avoid blue completely... I'm trying to get out of this blue rut which I seem to have fallen into of late. Have another Pierre!

I recorded the process with this one; it's sometimes the only way I remember to keep track of time. It ended up being about six and half hours, all told. If you'd like to see the eight-minute timelapse video, you can watch it here: youtu.be/tbQ0YZnQ_3o .

I love those warm colors. Makes the drawing feel really nice and also gives some warmth to the heart! or  at least I feel so.

I really like the way you shade and color your works, it gives them a bright and solid feel.

I love this! You should draw Jehan, too. I have a feeling you'd be able to capture him pretty well.

Thanks! Oh, yes, I'll have to try my hand at Jehan sometime.

How can I say how I love this drawing??

His expression is priceless!

ahahah I can recognize the Pierre Hugo talked about, in those eyes: 

self-righteous, false modest but sooo cute XD

A real lovely drawing (and I liked the video too )
