At first sight?

 HELLO!

In previous year I made lost in the dream. This work was different because I used acrylic paints for the first time. Additionally I used black pens in order to draw on a painted cardboard. I found this experiment so entertaining that I made another work in similar manner.

You can look at this work below.

At first sight?, acrylic paints and black pen on a cardboard, 13,4 x 19 cm.

For background I chose colours like orange, yellow and green. It took me long to decide which colourful juxtaposition would be great. I was pretty close to choose blue.

sentimental journey

 HELLO!

From time to time I like to cut intriguing words and sentences from old newspapers. The same goes for interesting pictures. There's lot of potential in them. For example you can create a collage.

And today I'm coming to you with a collage with a travelling theme.

the Wise Man

 HELLO!

 Sometimes I find a pleasure in experimenting with photographies and turning them into graphics.

This time I'd like to show a graphic called the Wise Man which was based on an old photography.

the Wise Man, graphic.

As you can see I used contrasting colours which gave quite interesting effect.

The main inspiration was an old photography. It shows a sculpture of an old man which was a part of the pulpit in church. Unfortunately I don't remember which church was that, and in which city of the Lower Silesia this church was located. 

Although I've got a hunch I could have taken this photo in Ziębice.

Mentioned photography which was made on May 2015.

That's all.

What do you think about the Wise Man?

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: the Autumn leaves

Hello!

   Today I'm announcing a cycle which is connected with Seasons' personifications I've designed. Its title is "4 in 4". I shortened this name because I wanted to create a good logo for series. Actually a full title is "the Four Seasons in Four Frames". 

    Although winter is coming, I wanted to make this first strip about Autumn. I've decided to publish each and every comic strips from '4 in 4' during actual Season. So for one year you should expect four comic strips. Now's Autumn turn, so the next comic strip will be concerned with the Winter.

   I wrote dialogue in bubbles in polish language but please don't worry. I made the translation in english which is available beneath the comic strip.

    I hope you'll enjoy '4 in 4'. If you want you could wrote your suggestions about 4 Seasons in comments.

1st Frame:

Girl: Hello! What's up?

Boy: Oh, hey! Nothing but trouble, and also - those leaves make me sick!

2nd Frame:

Boy: What's so special about them, different colours, straight up? They fall and one should sweep them up, and if they're wet, it's impossible to walk on them...

Girl: Geez! You will always find a reason to complain...

next aim - SO LONG! It's portrait of a man!

Hello!

Today I want to show a portrait of a man. This theme became one of my aims because of a major advantage of women pictures on my blog. Initially I couldn't decide who exactly should I portray. But one day - spontaneously - I choose Serj Tankian as a model for drawing.

Sakata Gintoki

Hello!

So, it seems that this post will be also about character from Gintama. This time it is a main character of Sorachi Hideaki's story - Gintoki Sakata. I decided to show you effects of my work.

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:

Man, don't get annoyed :-)

Hello! 

Well, a title could sound very strange... Especially, for me. In Poland we call this game: "Chińczyk" or "Gra w chińczyka". On the Wikipedia I read that "Mensch ärgere Dich nicht" could be translated as "Man, don't get annoyed". It is really strange.

Now I'm writing about this because I wanted to publish there my drawing - an illustration for one article about games. I entitled my drawing in polish because of sentiment to this game.

I rarely draw men. Maybe I should change it... 

You may be mistaken by blue and yellow colours. In fact, their blouses don't signify a colour of their pawns (girl's pawns are blue).

Gra w chińczyka, "WUJ", no. 4, January 2016.

Galadriel - at last!

Wisp of Galadriel's hair, drawing

Hello!

I don't know why I didn't admit that I had finished 'Project: Galadriel'... during Easter.

Am I absent-minded or something? 

Probably, but I was only enjoying a festival.

Well, I finished it by filling a background blue crayons.

I chose new aim:

a still nature

Have a nice day!

Galadriel- an adventure is more colorful!

Hello!

I would like to return to my drawing of Galadriel after a short break. Now I'm (slowly) going to come to an end this drawing.

Do you see a short person in the right lower corner? Yup, this is Gimli. Ultimately, I drew him there (lately, I wasn't sure where I should 'install' him)... because of a Galadriel's hair motif :-)

Next, I used a colours. I started with a skin and a hair of our protagonists.

Galadriel- adventure with Gimli, scissors and hand

Hello!

Well, I'm still drawing a Galadriel. Recently, I took time out to draw her. So I'm going to present some ideas before the break.

At first I made a probable Gimli's profiles on another paper...

... and next I started reconsidering which one (profile) could be better. I'm still thinking about it and still don't know... Finally, I must solve this problem :-D

'Galadriel'- next chapter of adventure

Hello!

As you see, I really wanted to hint somehow a Gimli's presence... You could see it in this picture (but now he was erased by rubber). Not only you could see a probable Gimli's profile, but also you could noticed a changes in Galadriel's appearance. Do you see a difference?

• Her hairstyle. I wanted to make her hair more beautiful and fine. I even prelongated them a little bit. Obviously, she holds a long wisp of hair. In addition, I erased an unruly fringe.
• Her dress. I decided to show Galadriel in a plain, gossamer and delicate dress. Especially, I changed her neckline (plus, I added a decorative sash, made from a pretty delicate material; sash is pinned by a tiny buttons) and long sleeves. 
• I also draw a Galadriel's foot. So you could notice Galadriel in motion.
• I also wanted to draw her reaching for a scissors, so...
