Diane d'Erceville

Hi! My name is Diane, I'm a French illustrator, painter, and palaeoartist!

Of course, I usually draw dinosaurs, but I also try my hand at more recent animals!

I'm a complete beginner on this platform, so... I might use it incorrectly!

My goal here is to share my work in progress and maybe sometimes my reading, my sketches, my thoughts...

All the things I can't usually share on Instagram!

A few weeks ago, I went to Épinal to have my new images printed! Thank you to la nef des fous for your trust!

Six of these thirteen Risograph prints will be available at Dinocon in two weeks’ time!

~Parasaurolophus at sunset~

A riso print I produced two years ago with les éditions de la Nef des fous, in a run of 29 copies.

All of them have been sold to date!

It’s not really an example of paleoart; I took a lot of artistic liberties with this drawing!

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus – Ink and gouache on paper

A year ago, this painting was exhibited at the Alliance Française of Bologna! It was quite an adventure getting it there from France!

If you’d like to know the whole story, every year my previous school had an agreement with the Alliance Française of Bologna: each year, 20 students from a few schools around the world had the chance to exhibit their work for a few weeks in Italy!

This year’s theme was ‘At the Edge of the World’. At first, I wanted to depict something terrifying, a vision between life and death : my teachers really didn’t like it… As I really wanted my work to be exhibited, they asked me to do another illustration (for the following morning).
