  • "Having embarked on coloring a comic on my own, I quickly found myself facing numerous challenges. I turned to Caroline, whose work I admire, for some answers and advice. She kindly responded right away. Not only did she help me overcome my difficulties, but she also took the time to explain some fundamental rules to me. I look forward to learning more from her explanations and “rules,” since I can't steal her talent, unfortunately!"

    Pierre Allary, Comic Book Artist

  • "More than twenty years ago, at the beginning of our collaboration, Caroline quickly understood the narrative role of color. She skillfully integrated this element into her already solid knowledge of colors. I know that, with her wealth of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone facing a color problem or wanting to develop a more relevant approach to the use of color."

    Ralph Meyer, Comic book Artist and Illustrator

  • “The author and I were stuck on the colors for a comic, unable to identify the problem. I called on Caroline, and thanks to her skills, experience, and keen eye, she was able to give us the best advice and suggest relevant solutions.”

    Ryun Reuchamps, Publisher

  • “Caroline helped our colorist use color to enhance the narrative and readability of the story. Her experience in printing was very useful in ensuring that the printed product matched the digital color work as closely as possible! Thanks to her, the transition from RGB to CMYK was a breeze.”

    Mathieu Burniat, Comic Book Artist

  • "For two months, I had the opportunity to work on the Undertaker comic book as an intern. Caroline Delabie, who acted as my trainer, kindly guided me in creating flat colors, giving me constructive feedback that helped me become more rigorous. Our regular discussions also helped me understand the importance of color in storytelling, gain confidence and efficiency, and develop an interest in the profession of colorist, which I hadn't had until then."
