peacock graphics

 HELLO!

Back in May 2016 I visited Łazienki Park in Warsaw. There I saw not only beautiful buildings and nature but also lots of peacocks. I'm mentioning this because one of the photos showing a peacock led me to experiment a bit in graphics software.

Peacock strolling in the gardens of Łazienki Park in Warsaw. I took this photo in May 2016.

When I look at this photo it seems to me as if peacock was emerging from flowers, or walking on the surface of flowers. I found this part of photo fascinating. 

4 in 4: Pumpkin patch

 HELLO!

Here comes the 17th comic strip of the series the Four Seasons in Four Frames, in short 4 in 4. 

This time the protagonist of the story is Autumn.

PLOT:

Autumn admires her pumpkin patch, and she's not the only admirer...

As always you will find the translation of bubbles below the comic strip.

ENJOY!

FIRST FRAME

Autumn: This year they grew up quite good...

Green dress from a certain doodle

 HELLO!

One day I doodled a green dress with a patterned bottom. This inspired me to create a picture showing a woman in this dress.

Mentioned doodle.

During drawing the first sketch I was having a doubt about the length of a dress and a hairstyle. I considered a maxi dress but changed my mind quite quickly. The only change I made with her hair was turning them into more wavy.

Samurai whose eyes are aiming at the cherry blossom

 Hello! 🌸

   So, this rare opportunity, which is an image of a man on my blog, has come. For this particular portrayal I chose a samurai. I accepted this challenge with a pleasure (lately One Piece increased my interest in japanese culture much more). I went through a huge brainstorm... Firstly I took pastels and made an undermentioned sketch.

To my own surprise this sketch was looking like a response to Sutekina tsuitachi o. There was a young lady sitting under the cherry blossom with an o-choko (a cylindrical cup which is used for drinking sake) in her hand.

4 in 4: In the apple orchard

 Hello!

     In today's post there is a fifth comic strip of a cycle "the Four Seasons in Four Frames". 

This time story will be focused on Autumn who went apple picking with her fluffy companion. Cat's name is Wrzos (that's a polish name for heather).

     As always I was wondering what should I draw, in which situation should I throw Autumn... And - what seems pretty funny, each of ideas has got an apple theme.

     Below In the apple orchard you will find an english translation of bubbles.

Second Frame

Autumn: Wow! Wrzos, just take a look at those beautiful apples!

Have a Nice Day!

Hello!

     This time I want to show you a drawing of young Japanese woman in kimono. She's sitting under the cherry blossom trees. She's also holding a cup of sake. A tiny flower petal fell to her cup (I read somewhere that it means a good luck). 

     I'm sorry for a bad quality of photography. I'm not sure if you'll be able to notice a silhouette of mount Fuji. If I could tell something about kimono pattern, it was inspirated by Klimt's beautiful work (I mean a specific motive from his mosaic made to Palais Stoclet in Brussels - the Tree of Life).

Sutekina tsuitachi o, crayons on a cardboard, 15 x 15,5 cm.

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. 

Dianthuses, pastel on paper, 20,9x14,5 cm.

Have a nice day!

Garden of Thoughts

In the Garden of Thoughts, drawing

Hello!

Sorry for a bad quality of this picture. Well, I think this title is good enough for this drawing. 

At first, I draw a figure of Blue Lady, later flowers (I made them because I wanted to fill the background. ). 

Have a nice day!
