A small drawing exercise today. I wanted to try a new technique for drawing trees with ink. #inkdrawing #traditionalart #sakuramicron #treedrawing #hatching

A black ink drawing of a tree growing at the edge of a calm lake. The illustration is created with fine hatching lines using a Sakura Micron pen.

My grandfather used to be a fighter pilot. This was his airplane, the Super Mystère B2. He passed away 10 years ago. A bit too late... for my beloved grand father. ❤️ #watercolor #traditionalart #aviationart #military #aircraft

A watercolor painting of a Dassault Super Mystère B2 flying above a sea of clouds at sunset. The sky is filled with soft golden and pale yellow tones.

I mostly followed the idea my father had in mind when he imagined this design. But while painting it, I started thinking about something like this: danger is not always where we expect it to be. Sometimes it hides in the most beautiful things. :)

I really like that interpretation! It's a bit different from my own, but that's exactly what I enjoy about sharing art. ^^

I painted this watercolor six years ago. It was inspired by one of my father's tattoo ideas. He was thinking about getting a design like this tattooed. I'm curious. What would your interpretation of it be? #watercolor #traditionalart #shark #surrealart #Illustration

A simple watercolor painting of a frightened-looking shark tangled in the thorny branches of a blooming rose bush.

J'aime beaucoup comment tu fais ressortir certains éléments du cadre. C'est très beau. J'ai l'impression que ton compte est assez récent. Mais ça donne envie d'en voir plus !

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Haha, I'm not against sharing them, and I probably will someday! It's just a little embarrassing... Some of them are things like shirtless Link with a ribbon. 😆 But I do understand what you mean. Even though my skills have improved a lot since then, I'm still attached to some of those drawings.

010

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Thank you! ^^ You're very close! It's actually a Super Mystère B2, an upgraded version of the Mystère. I'm really happy you like the painting! 😃

I just finished this watercolor of the Virgin Mary, using gold and pearlescent paint. It is a birthday gift for my mother, who is a devoted believer. I hope she'll like it. 🩵👼 #watercolor #traditionalart #christianart #virginmary #religiousart

A watercolor painting of the Virgin Mary shown in prayer with her eyes closed. She wears a pearlescent white veil and is surrounded by a gold-painted halo. The red and blue background includes subtle pearlescent highlights.

Oh, happy to know we share this interest besides dragons and painting! I’m not a huge Zelda fan, but I played some of the games when I was younger and made plenty of fan art back then. I might share some of it someday, although I was very young when I made them so I feel intimidated to post them. ^^

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Of course. This is my most recent one, my grandfather's aircraft when he was a fighter pilot. A french model from the 70s. Do you recognise it? 😃

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

I am starting to believe it could be used as an effective personality test. 😆

010

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Wow, that’s incredible! You might like some of my other watercolors too. I’ve painted other aircraft as well, but I haven’t shared them yet. ^^

I did this eight years ago for my little brother, who is a huge fan of The Legend of Zelda. This was my personal interpretation of Link from Breath of the Wild. Any Zelda fans here? #watercolor #thelegendofzelda #breathofthewild #botw #link #fanart

Watercolor fan art of Link from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Link is depicted from the front in a semi-realistic style, especially in the facial features. He wears clothing inspired by the game and holds his sword with both hands in a warrior's stance. This is a personal interpretation of the character rather than an exact reproduction of the original design.

Thank you! ^^ Oh, and do you know a bit about aviation? You recognized the Rafale right away!

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

It might be nothing more than a coincidence, of course, but does any of that sound like you? :)

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

When I asked the same question to my friends, we noticed a funny pattern: people who chose the first painting were often positive, creative, outgoing people with lots of energy and a very social side. Those who preferred the third one tended to be ambitious, challenge-seeking, and natural leaders.

Watercolors of three French aircraft from different periods, each flying under a different sky. Pick your favorite and I will try to guess your personality. 😉 #watercolor #military #airforce #skypainting #traditionalart

Triptych of watercolor paintings featuring French aircraft from different periods. The left panel shows a small World War II-era aircraft flying beneath dramatic purple clouds pierced by sun rays. The middle panel depicts a World War I-style biplane against a blue sky with thin, wispy white clouds. The right panel shows the shadow of a modern Rafale jet seen from the ground against a partly stormy sky with yellow breaks in the clouds.

Thank you so much. I was so young when I drew it. ^^

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Thank you! I wasn't totally sure at first but I am glad it works. ^^

Something a little different this time. This is a self-portrait I drew when I was 18. It's very old now but I will reveal my age only if you ask so. 😛 #traditionalart #selfportrait #pencildrawing #artjourney

Graphite self-portrait drawn at age 18. The drawing is a close-up of a young woman's face, viewed from very near. Her head is tilted downward and her gaze is directed toward the ground, giving the impression that her eyes are almost closed. The portrait has a quiet, introspective mood.

Work in progress on my Virgin Mary watercolor. I just tried the pearlescent watercolor paint I bought in Japan, and I really love the subtle shimmer it creates. What do you think? #watercolor #traditionalart #workinprogress #WIP #artprocess #artistlife

Work-in-progress watercolor painting of the Virgin Mary viewed at an angle. Parts of the veil have been painted with pearlescent watercolor, creating a subtle shimmering reflection visible in the light. A pan of pearlescent paint is placed near the artwork.

Oh wow, the bored expression is so well done and convincing. It’s really funny! xD

Wow, the world can feel so small sometimes. I might have already crossed their path as well. Iona really is such a small island.

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Oh wow, I can easily imagine how beautiful the result could be on a dragon’s scales. I'm really looking forward to seeing the result. I’ve also got some pearlescent paints, and I’m sure they could work really well on a dragon as well. Oh my God, so many ideas!

010

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Yes, exactly! Religious elements could definitely be a great match with gold paint. That idea had already crossed my mind too. And funny you mention Iona. The grandfather of my stepfather actually used to live on that island. I had wonderful holidays there. ^^

110

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Yes, definitely a good idea. I was also thinking of using it for decorative borders on small cards or bookmarks to share or give away. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

020

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Thank you for all your ideas, it’s really helpful. Brainstorming like this always brings up so many new possibilities! I’m actually working on something new using metallic paints at the moment that I’ll be sharing very soon.

120

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

I really love that idea as well. I’ve always been drawn to Celtic symbols, so it could definitely become a future project.

010

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Yes, definitely, that could be a good idea! Now that you mention it, I think metallic paints could work really well for borders or geometric decorative elements. It would definitely take me out of my comfort zone, but that's probably a good thing.

110

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

I've definitely been attracted to metallic paints these past few months, even though I don't really know yet what to do with them. I'm not sure how well they fit my style, but using them for highlights could be a good idea. :)

010

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

That's actually something I hadn't thought about at all! But now that you mention it, if it's used with good control and suits the style of the painting, it could create a really beautiful effect. Thank you so much. :)

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

I've invested so much in gold recently 😆 Any suggestions on what I should use it for? #watercolor #artsupplies #goldpaint #artistlife #traditionalart

I painted this ghost six years ago, inspired by my love for horror stories and mysterious atmospheres. It was also an opportunity to experiment with transparency effects in watercolor. And you, do you like ghost stories? #watercolor #horrorart #ghost #fantasyart

Watercolor painting of a mysterious woman in white resembling a ghost climbing a staircase. The figure appears semi-transparent.

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Oh, I’m so glad you like it! My favorite is definitely Princess Mononoke, but Spirited Away is probably a very close second for me. :)

010

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

This is one of the most popular watercolor paintings I’ve ever made. Most of you will probably recognize Chihiro and Haku from Spirited Away. What’s your favorite Miyazaki movie? 😃 #watercolor #miyazaki #fanart #studioghibli #spiritedaway #fanart #artsky

Thank you, that’s very kind of you! Yes, there can definitely be something special about hard blending too. I think both styles have their strenghts depending on the atmosphere you want to achieve. ^^

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

I checked, and the Yarnell book is indeed available. I can even get a digital version of it! I think you’ve convinced me to buy it. I really feel like I could do better with acrylics, and that I should give the medium a second chance. 🙂 Thank you again for all your advice!

010

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

By the way, I’m really happy with your answer. It makes me feel like I could do much better once I get back into acrylics again 😊

010

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

I’ve indeed seen artists using wet-on-wet techniques and misters to keep the first layers wet, but I’ve never really tried it myself yet, mostly because I haven’t painted with acrylics in years. But I definitely need to give it a try. I also recently learned about open acrylics that dry more slowly.

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Wow, thank you so much for these very detailed pieces of advice. I think I completely understand what you mean now!

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Still trying to understand how to achieve soft blending with acrylics. Any advice is welcome!!! #acrylicpainting #traditionalart #spaceart #nebula #planets #artsky

Oh my God, I’ve just found this very old drawing I made in 2011 for a friend of mine. I had completely forgotten about it. I am on the left, my friend on the right. It feels so strange and emotional to rediscover such an old drawing. #oldart #sketch #pencildrawing #animestyle #friendship

Black-and-white pencil drawing in an anime-inspired style showing two girls sitting on a bench, wrapped together in a large scarf. One sweater has “20” written on it and the other “11,” referencing the year 2011. “Bonne année” is written above them.

I love that! I really love mushrooms. 😊 They’re so fascinating!

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Exactly! I think this curiosity is what helps us evolve, both in our technique and in our artistic style. :)

Ad-Exitium art @adexitium.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Wow, the glowing effect is incredible. I love how you come up with believable names for these fantasy life forms. I can hardly decide which one is my favorite!

Step by step of one of my very rare attempts at digital painting. I struggled so much during the process. 😅 #digitalpainting #digitalart #portraitart #semirealism #processart

Digital painting process shown in six steps. The artwork depicts a semi-realistic portrait of a young woman with blue hair, a rose tucked behind her ear, and an earring. Each step progressively adds colors, shading, details, and lighting until the final polished portrait.

Wow, with a few brushstrokes and lighting effects, you perfectly captured the feeling of an early stormy atmosphere and strong wind. I really love it!
