From drawing the sketch traditionally to inking digitally, we bring you the beginning process of the illustration “Chanson d’Olympia”.
The charming performance of the soprano the soprano Patricia Janečková added a personality to the character Olympia that we couldn’t resist to portray.
Check the lines post to know more about the character from Offenbach’s Les Contes d’Hoffmann and to see a video of the performance that inspired us!

The sweetest song from the sweetest doll with an amazing voice, since “Les oiseaux dans la charmille” from Offenbach’s Les Contes d’Hoffmann seem to be one of the toughest soprano aria to pull off.
This song captivated us immediately and the story behind it ties everything with a beautiful dramatic bow.
Olympia is a doll created by an inventor named Spalanzani, but so beautiful and graceful that a man named Hoffman falls deeply in love with her upon seeing her- greatly influenced by wearing glasses that make her seem human, but those are just details…- and even despite a friend assuring him that it’s but a doll, his passion burns too strongly to let it go.
Our version of “Olympia” in the illustration was inspired by the soprano Patricia Janečková and her adorable rendition of a living doll with a certain charming mischief.
In these uncertain times we hope that everyone stays safe and can still feel some solace from music.

And now for something completely different, we bring you a sneak peek into one of the projects we’re working on right now: comic pages for a book called “Eyes of the Forest” by James Streissand. Fantasy, action, magic and a lot of foliage!
This video shows the initial steps of the inking stage after the layout and sketch have been previously approved. This isn’t the final look for the inking but it is a teaser after all.
We hope to share more of these processes with you and give you a better insight on what goes into making comic books and more.
★Until then, stay inspired★
