Virginie Augustin (11 March 1973, Chatou) is a French comics book artist. She has also worked on animated features with Walt Disney Animation Studios and France 3.

## Biography

After studying at Gobelins, Augustin worked with Walt Disney Animation Studios on the animated features Tarzan (1999) and Hercules (1997). Her career in animation also led her to work on W.I.T.C.H. (2001), Dragon Hunters (2006), and Code Lyoko (2003) for France 3, and on the animated film Corto Maltese, la cour secrète des arcanes (2002).
Shortly after Corto Maltese, in 2003, she joined the comic strip world and drew the four volumes of the bande dessinée heroic fantasy series Alim le tanneur [fr] with scriptwriter Wilfrid Lupano [fr]. Augustin then participated in several collectives (Les beaux dessins de Francis Cabrel, Les Chansons illustrées de Patrick Bruel, Polnareff - Suite de Bulles, Premières fois, and Sur les traces de Luuna). She also produced a sketchbook for Comix buro, the collection of books directed by Olivier Vatine [fr].
Then she entered the collection of Les Légendes de Troy [fr], where she drew Voyage aux Ombres,, a one-shot scripted by Christophe Arleston and Audrey Alwett [fr], published in May 2011.
She collaborated with Hubert, who wrote for her the script of Monsieur Désire? published in 2016, with which the authors won 2017 Prix Diagonale [fr] for best album.
