Figure study #2

The Other day I had a chance to draw a great model. She had a beautiful hands and feet. Her body had a "gravity and depth". Personally I love her hair. Definitely she was very much theatrical. I was playing internal design, shapes and pacing of drawing. I hope i learned something :D.... There is no short cut to learn beside keep on drawing. Hope you Enjoy!

These 2 drawings below; I used 2 hands same time and different pacing. It is great practice.

Figure study #1

I had a chance to draw last week. Every time I draw I found out I didn't know how to draw. It was a little bit sad but then it was fun. It changed. It was hard again. One thing motivated me to keep on going would be my favorite artist Hokusai.

“I have drawn things since I was six. All that I made before the age of sixty-five is not worth counting. At seventy-three I began to understand the true construction of animals, plants, trees, birds, fishes, and insects. At ninety I will enter into the secret of things. At a hundred and ten, everything--every dot, every dash--will live”
― Hokusai Katsushika

It is hard to learn how to draw but once you enter the world of drawing you can not get out.

I would like to share my drawings which are not worthy to counting :) but I am keep on going because one day I want to be an artist like Hokusai and Picasso.

 

A little princess ....

This is a little drawing I made when I was down Walt Disney World in Aug. 2013.
One of the cutest thing happened at the magic kingdom. All the little princess and prince came out. If I have a kid I would def. do this. :D

She was very much amused by her wand. :D

Pottery Painting #1

Time to time I am doing Pottery painting. It is a very ritual experience for me. When I am working on a project, my studio is one big mess. I have all the control and I see the result right a way. But Pottery painting is very different from that. The first, I have to go studio (Muddworks) and they have their own set up. I have to follow their rules. The second, I picked up the bisque which in my head I know what I want it such as a shapes, size, and usages. The third, I had to pick up the colors which was I needed a lots of my imagination power to see the colors after it came from oven. for example, Looking at the brownish colors and think(imagine) that it will be a dark blue. hahaha Yes, it was tough at first. At last I had to wait for 7-10 days to see the final piece. Oh I forgot to mention it. You must paint 3 times to see solid colors. When you paint you cannot jump on all over the place because you have to do layers. So you have to learn to wait for paint to dry. Now anyone agree with me this is a ritual? :D I am still an experimental Pottery Painting.

Here's some of my potteries. 

Tree of life #1

 The first time I went with  my dear friends. It was really fun.

This is before pottery was made in oven. ( after painting is done)

This is my second time. It is called Holey Boley. It has a chopstick holder. It is good for noodles and it was for my mother who wanted this bowl very much.

 

This is my third times.

 This is my 4th times.

 Lotus Holey Boley #2

The first time visiting Dumbo at Brooklyn ny.

Last Sat. morning, Yes Sat. I had to go to Dumbo.
It was for my sister who just married last May.
Yes they need some family pictures for their wedding album.
Thank God it was casual. I went there with mom and brother.
However, I packed a little sketch book, a Varsity pen, a marker and a small pastel set which all could get into my small bag. I wasn't sure I have time to draw because it wasn't for me and I was with my family and in laws. Still I just wanted to pack because Dumbo was very interested place for me.
Dumbo is the area in the Brooklyn, NY. and It placed between 2 beautiful bridges and has a magical New york city as a back drop. It was Water front and there's Brooklyn bridge park and lots vintage arty stuff. Of course, there's lots wedding pictures have been taken at the Dumbo.
Here's my less than 5 minutes drawings. I definitely wanted to go back there.
You can read some more details : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbo,_Brooklyn

I was sitting there and looking at Manhattan bridge. I saw a little dot and a square box.  OMG, it was people on the bridge. These people are working hard as they can and earn the living.
EXCUSE ME, CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT. GO BACK TO YOUR WORK AND DO YOUR JOB. AMERICANS DIDNT PAY THE TAX FOR SHOT DOWN. DO NOT WASTE AMERICANS HONEST MONEY.  Stop doing tugs of war.

Prayer Tree

This is a prayer tree. I drew it this summer 2013. You put clothes on the tree with your wish. When the wish came true, you put the bell. For me people wishes many things but God knew what is good for us and grant that wish. However, that will be really good one. I believe that. I hope everyone can put the bell on the tree. I made a tree here to bleed to border so that it continued top and bottom which is that represented communication between God and people. If there's nothing you can do, try to pray! You never know.....
