In this new episode of The Animashow, my guest Alexandre de Broca takes us inside his poetic and instinctive approach to visual storytelling — from plein air painting to concept art and art direction in animation. Known for his work on Funny Little Beasts / Mystery Lane / Grizzy & The Lemmings / Lucky Luke / The smurfs / Asterix : The Secret of the Magic Potion / Skyland / The Little Prince or more recently the upcoming movies Girl in the Clouds / Wings of Freedom, and many others, Alexandre shares his journey as a self-taught artist driven by observation, emotion, and a deep respect for light and composition. We talk about the importance of drawing from life, the role of sensitivity in animation, and the balance between artistic intuition and production constraints. A thoughtful, inspiring conversation about staying human in a digital, fast-paced industry.
