Taking breaks from time to time is very important during the creative process. I usually work on my

personal illustrations at night, between 10 and 1 in the morning, three nights a week. All I do during this time is focus on results instead of details. I like to work on all aspects of a picture: composition, structure, theme, energy, and usually go as fast as I can directly to a posed and framed model. This way I can achieve a good quality in for work, and keep the creativity energy till the final touch up. I create each illustration in about three to five nights.
3DTotal: All of you work has a similar theme, but not necessarily a similar style, why is this?
Pascal: The main reason is that I like to experiment a bit. There is no reason why I should stick to one style or another for now. Even if there are some common elements here and there that I like to continue to play with, visually I feel like I can improve my style a lot.
3DTotal: What has been your favourite project so far?
Pascal: Each project has its good and bad points. I like to be challenged in my work, and I don’t like being too restricted, visually speaking. The last commission I created for Autodesk was really fun and motivating, because they were the first to ask for my personal touch!

3DTotal: What would be a dream project for the future?
Pascal: I have many dream projects. I’d like to create a graphic novel, work as independent illustrator, start a 3D model collection and work on an Artbook. My main dream would be to get the chance to work for someone who would totally support my creativity and let me experiment with all my visions. But I bet I’m not the first or the last to dream about that!
3DTotal: Do you have one piece of advice for any aspiring artists out there?
Pascal: I always give the same answer when asked this question: work hard, focus on finishing what you’ve started and learn from your own experiences. The more you practice, the better you will become... Oh... And of course, manage your free time: go outside, have fun, read, go to movies, and don’t stay put behind your computer too much :) A passion is something you should enjoy, not become slave of.
3DTotal: Thanks very much for talking to us, and good luck for the future.
