The Art of Denis Dupanovic

I use Staedtler 0.5mm Mars Micro Color Blue Leads, Prismacolor 2mm Turquoise Non-Photo Drawing Leads with Staedtler Lead Holder and Faber-Castell Phthalo Blue pencils, 2H and HB pencils, Staedtler eraser and Faber-Castell kneaded eraser, Winsor & Newton Series 7 size 1 & 2 brushes, whatever ink I can find, Unipin pens sizes 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5, and Photoshop with Wacom Intuos for coloring.

I draw on A3 and A4 printer paper of various thicknesses or bristol boards.

No. I’m fully against the usage of AI in art on all levels. It’s antithetical to everything I love about art.

For most tasks, my daily driver is a laptop. That way I can take my work with me. I’m currently using Thinkpad x280, dual booting Windows and Linux, with the following specs:

CPU: i7-8550U
RAM: 16 GB
SSD #1: 500 GB
SSD #2: 128 GB

My desktop is Windows-based because of gaming and Adobe software. The specs are:

CPU: i5-13400
MBO: ASUS PRIME B760M-A
RAM: 32 GB RAM
SSD: 500 GB
HDD: 2 TB
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7600
Monitors: LG 24” and Dell 24”

My drawing tablet is a Wacom Intuos 5.

Growing up, my biggest inspirations were André Franquin and Albert Uderzo, but also Morris, Jean Giraud, Bill Watterson, Mike Mignola, Adam Hughes, Kentaro Miura, and many many more.

I studied computer science in high school. I dropped out of college in the same trade after a few months when I decided to pursue an art career.

Not really, nothing formal. I did learn a lot from other artists I met along the way and, of course, through the internet.

Sometimes. Check my social media to find out if I’m currently taking commissions.

I do occasionally. I’m planning on having a Store page on the website if there's enough interest for it.

I did as I have some basic knowledge of HTML and CSS. WordPress was too bloated for what I had in mind for a personal website so I decided to go with a simple static design I can easily host anywhere.
