Georges Beuville ( 1902-1982)

Ok, this one is an odd one.

I remember seeing his work as a kid in books we had to read in class.

I didn’t care for it. I didn’t dislike it, it was just one of those things that I associated with class so it was boring.

It was later, in high school, when I was doing research in the library of the little town I lived in ( Vesoul!) that I fell on a book he had illustrated. It was a classic French book called the war of buttons ( La guerre des boutons) and I remember recognizing his little star shaped signature and trying to figure out if I liked it his work or not.

I couldn’t stop wanting to come back to it. I wasn’t sure why because it wasn’t well drawn. In fact, it felt like there was no drawing at all ( in my mind). Just colors that somehow made me understand a scene.

Later still, in college, I came across his work again and it THEN it hit me what he was doing.

The looseness of his work meant a lack of talent, or skill when I was younger, probably because I was used to French graphic novels or American comics which all had clear dark outlines. Beuville’s work was different. It was so loose it felt more like a sketch than an illustration but it was clear, readable. It was expressive in a way that I didn’t know could be done and printed.

After that, I kept looking for his work whenever I could.

I found a lot since then, but nothing that impacted me as much as his La Guerre des Boutons”

Not to say his other work isn’t as good but that was the work of his that really impacted me the most. The kind of work that feels like a secret when you discover it if that makes sense.

“OH, You can do illustrations like THIS and it still works!”

Beuville’s done a lot of line drawing images that go inside the books, chapter headers, things like that. I love those as well.

In any case, another one of my favorites even if it took awhile for me to see it. ( which seems to be a recurring theme in my life!)

12, 17, 22 :-)

12. show us an old drawing

I have nearly all of my old sketchbooks going back to 2016… here are some from my first Calarts sketchbook lol. (rejected that year, and deservedly!) I didn’t really have any destination in mind, I just knew I liked drawing, but did not know that storyboarding was a skill I could learn or an attainable goal.

17. what do you love getting compliments about?

If things seem in character! Or if, when reading a comic, a reader can “hear it in their voice”. I’m not the best at drawing on model or making beautiful illustrations but if I can get a character “right” it feels like a victory and a pleasure!

22. what inspires you?

Silly but - my friends! I feel really lucky to have so many friends who draw. Their strengths are so varied and unique and no two people ever make the same drawing, even if the same subject matter.

I also save a lot of drawings from friends, other artists, books old and new etc. on my phone + computer and those are always very inspiring.

Lots of Georges Beuville illustrations. A ton of manga, comics, from the panel to panel to page to page level. Recently got (more) 90s/early 2000s Leopika doujinshi and very inspired by it!

soooo Laistrygon got compared to this poster art for Botot Dentifrice from 1925 by Georges Beuville and I was so fascinated by that weirdly sinister character that I couldn't not redraw it as Laistrygon, lol

why is this stuff red. I do not know.

#arts #laistrygon #yes evil-looking characters wearing old-timey clothes will make me pick up on my dental hygiene habits #i got nothin' #france are u ok

4 and 21 for the artist ask game!

hello hello!! thanks for asking!!

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

Well, the past couple years at uni helped me realise I really struggle with drawing vehicles of all kinds haha. But also, Tron as a whole! Everyone's likeness is very hard to capture, and I might need to try again sometime soon. I think the only likeness that worked in my artstyle 2-3 years ago was Lora. I need to draw them again soon :')

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

SOOOO MANY. It is so easy to get inspired all the time by everyone! And the list is always changing and growing! Lately, I've been looking at a lot of art by Georges Beuville (illustrator/painter, worked in advertising, sculpture, set design, comics, and film, etc) and Barron Storey (illustrator/graphic novelist, worked in fine arts but I know of him through The Sandman comics ofc lol).

Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game!

So Georges Beuville illustrated the Traité de la vie élégante and needless to say, it’s very high quality stuff :D

More Balzac works by him (thanks @domedomini for telling me)
