SKIMA DRAWING
Skima Drawing, whose real name is Maxime Thevenet, is a hyper-realistic artist born in 1994 in Burgundy. Passionate about drawing from an early age, he honed his technique at the Academy of Applied Arts in Dijon, where he learned to combine rigor and creativity.
In 2018, he decided to devote himself entirely to his passion and made hyperrealism his profession.
Skima explores the power of black, a color that, under his pencils, comes to life and reveals an infinite range of shades. He plays with light and contrasts to give his creations a unique depth, blurring the line between photography and illustration. Whether for portraits or scenes, he takes particular care to convey strong emotion through his work.
The secret behind Skima Drawing’s striking works? His unique mastery of Pierre Noire, whether in square stick or pencil form.
THE ART OF CONTRAST
To bring his hyper-realistic drawings to life, Skima uses Conté à Paris Pierre Noire pencils and crayons, which he considers essential to his art. The velvety texture and intense pigmentation of Pierre Noire make it possible to work with every shade of black, from the most subtle to the deepest. Thanks to their uniquely sized core, Skima can play with precision on contrasts and gradients.
The Pierre Noire range gives him great freedom to explore different levels of clarity and intensity. The pencils allow him to detail the finest lines, while the Pierre Noire crayons are perfect for creating rich, even backgrounds. For an even more subtle effect, he sharpens the crayons to produce a powder that he then applies with his finger, adding softness and depth to his creations.
This technical mastery, combined with the exceptional qualities of Conté à Paris pencils and crayons, makes each of Skima’s works both powerful and meticulously crafted.
