Girl with a book

Hello!

I'm sorry for my long absence on this blog.
I have got so many things to do.

In the end of the year 2017 I wish lots of happiness, health, love, patience and power to make your dreams come true. Happy New Year 2018!

Once I've drawn this young lady who was reading poems for children. Mentioned poems were created by polish poet - Julian Tuwim (1894-1953). To be honest, I couldn't help myself and I drew on a book's cover a cat with an empty bowl. One of Tuwim's poems concerned a kitten which was dreaming about a milk.

Girl is thoughtful. She loves reading but she doesn't like when somebody interrupts her.

Quite understandable.

Have a Nice Day!

mountains in the morning

Hello!

mountains in the morning, graphic.

Seriously, I don't remember in which programme I made this kind of picture. However I know it was my first time of using that programme. Obviously, I experimented  with that graphic a lot...

Well, I only wanted mountains as a theme of my graphic.

Well... Have a Nice Day!

Siren Song

Hello!

     In the last day of September I published a drawing inspired by Yuki Kajiura's composition - "Siren song" (Tsubasa Chronicle OST). And I'm sorry for a quality of photo - in fact colours of the drawing are more saturated. Mermaids are connected with water so I decided to draw them in shades of blue and green. 

       Oh, and there's one thing - you probably wouldn't see this. A mermaid from the left lower corner is a small reference to Girl with a Pearl Earring made by Johannes Vermeer. That's all :-D 

Siren Song (Mermaids), crayons on paper, 29,5 x 20,8 cm, 29-30.09.2017.

I hope you'll enjoy my work.

Have a nice day! 

A Jay

Hello!

This is a sketch of a Jay. Once I made this drawing based on a photography of this interesting bird. And still don't know why I choose a green colour to express a silhouette of a Jay.

Have a Nice Day! :-)

A Still Nature - my aim

Hello!

I decided to finish my aim quickly. I'm writing about a Still Nature. Once I saw three fruits: plums, grapes and tomatoes on a plate I wanted to draw a still nature. I was fascinated with their colours and layout. As a result I took a photo which was a very good decision.

And this is a pastel which was based on this photo.

A Still Nature with Plums, Grapes and Tomatoes, pastel on cardboard, 21,4 x 23 cm.

Well... as you see I still must practise.

Have a Nice Day!

Oh... I almost forgot... My new aim is portrait of Keiko Kubota (Kalafina, FictionJunction) in the same manner as Wakana.

Calendulas

Hello!

Calendulas, pastel on paper, 21x14,5 cm.

Similarly to Dianthuses, this pastel was a gift for someone special too. Title is a latin version of 'marigolds'. I think that Calendulas sounds much better for a title of this pastel.
*
For today, that's all. I - also - wish that I'll finish a still nature - my pretty old aim - pretty soon.

Have a Nice Day!

Dianthuses

Hello!

In the last beautiful day of August I want to show you my pastel with dianthuses. I only heard somewhere that they're considered as a symbol of boldness. Don't know if it was truth but it was my gift for one special person.

Please, take a look.

Have a nice day!

a Hope of the Phoenix

Hello!

In this post I want to show you not only a pastel but also my poem about its. If you are interested, please take a look.

a hope of the phoenix, pastel on paper, 21x14,9 cm.

a hope of the phoenix

the phoenix flitted 

it lost its fiery feathers 

during a flight 

but feathers didn't fall on the Earth 

- with a sunset as a background

feathers separate somewhere above in the air 

beyond a man's reach

the phoenix saw a sunset 

while it was burning out of sadness

and flew towards the Sun

however it still had got a hope 

for rebirth

towards new life 

the phoenix flew to be born 

in rays of the new day

That's all. If you are interested in polish version (original :-) of poem, 
please take a look THERE.

Have a nice day!

Yuki Kajiura - You are my love

Portrait of Wakana

Hello!

     This is no secret that I like to listen japanese music - especially, Yuki Kajiura's compositions. In few of her projects like FictionJunction or Kalafina amazing vocalists are participated. And for last week I was drawing one of them - Wakana Ootaki.

Wakana, crayons on paper, 12 x 20,5 cm
(1st part of cycle: Kalafina & FictionJunction).

Eurasian bittern

Hello!

I'm sorry for my long absence. After this long time I decided to start with sketch of one animal. I found a wonderful and inspirational photo of Eurasian bittern (in polish: Bąk zwyczajny). In this photo, a bittern was walking in specific way through water.

Have a nice day!

Themis

Hello!

This drawing of Themis was a commission for articles about law school.
This one drawing has also two another versions made in one graphic programme because I cannot decide which looks better :-)
In the photo you see original version of my drawing. I won't publish those versions from graphic programme.

Themis, published in "WUJ" few times
(no. 1, October 2015; no. 2, November 2015).

Have a nice day!

A drawing of sculpture

Hello!

   Again - long time no see! Today I'm going to publish my drawing of sculpture. I chose a David made by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. But I didn't draw a full sculpture... My drawing is based on a photo of Bernini's sculpture in the catalogue 'the Galleria Borghese. The Masterpieces'.

This is my drawing:

Bernini's David, pencil on paper, april 2017.

A Joy in Four Pannels

Hello!

Only when a Joy is pleased to others did the Joy is experience,

crayons and pens on paper, 29,3 x 21 cm.

A title is a Karl Barth's quote and I've hope that my translation is properly.
In the upper part of my work there is a polish version of his quote.
