Florian Nicolle | Graphic designer and illustrator

Florian Nicolle is graphic designer and illustrator freelancer from Caen, France.

- "I already have a degree in Graphic Design, there was a section devoted to the illustration that i have worked a lot, which finally took a big place in my work.

I try to create an image that retains its freshness of the first paint stroke, the expressions of the line have to be very free and spontaneous.

While keeping a rigorous drawing.

So i use fast techniques, like a bic, large brush, watercolor and chines ink.

I draw a picture as if I wrote a text, with the same tool, the same freedom, erasures, lines, scribbles".
