Moebius drawing videos
In preparation for the exposition Moebius Trans-Forme at the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art in Paris in 2010-2011, illustrator, comics artist and concept artist extraordinaire Jean Giraud, AKA Moebius, was filmed doing series of short drawings using digital painting software and a graphics tablet.

The videos, along with other related videos, are available on DailyMotion, but the folks at Muddy Colors have gathered the drawing videos together on one page.

It?s wonderful to have these available, short though they may be; it makes me wish more extensive records had been made before the artist?s untimely death in March of this year.

Though you can see that Giraud has drawn his rough sketch on an underlayer and is drawing his finish over that, I?ve had the pleasure of watching Giraud draw in traditional media without a preliminary sketch, and he went about it in much the same way ? drawing very quickly and making parts of the drawing fairly complete as he expanded out from his starting point (see the convention sketch he did for my wife that accompanies my article on Giraud from March).
