Come and see the Other World

Hello!

Long time no see :-) Lately there's so much work in my life I'm not able to find a time to publish new post. However today I want to show a drawing of a feminine reader. 

The Other World, drawing on the cardboard.

Idea for this drawing started from a small doodle from my various notes. At the beginning it was only a young girl with a long green braid. She was wearing a long grey dress with black laces and cuffs. 

So I decided to draw her on a separate work. Then I thought about her pose, activity and her surroundings.

Hello!

     The first thing I must say is sorry. I apologize for my long absence and disability in organising my own life (hope that I find a solution for my problems).

     Today I want to show a drawing of white-haired mermaid which is sitting on rocks. This sea creature seems pretty wild and also - thoughtful. I can't explain why I often draw people (mostly women) in the state of reverie or sadness. I think that's really intimate feeling, plus a message about inner struggles, longings, etc.

     Oh, and one more thing. Lately I'm using a pencil and a white crayon on a brown paper. I really love the effect - it reminds me sketches of Renaissance artists I saw long time ago (I don't remember particular examples, sorry).

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).

a Waterfall

Hello!

     Today - after a long absence - I want to show you one old pastel a Waterfall. Unfortunately I don't remember when I made this picture. In one small book with quotes I noticed a beautiful photo of a waterfall in a forest's depth. I decided to 'pastel' it and that's all.

A Reader - end of story

Hello!

This is a title of my little cycle: A Reader. Well, I created it because I asked myself: How could I encourage somebody to reading? (another reason: it was also connected with passing one exam about social communication :-) 

My response was: by feelings and an empathy. 

Thank you (no. 6), pen, pencil and crayons on paper.

     

The fact that I love reading books isn't a secret. I think that books are good when people are worrying about something and feeling upset and unhappy. Year ago I saw the same motif in M. Zusak's The Book Thief (btw. that's an amazing book). Reading is helpful especially if everything around looks sad and grey. People could forget about their worries for a while thanks to colorful stories. 

     Well, I focused much more on a plot than a form (somehow similar to my previous work). I hope this idea could encourage to reading.

So, Have a Nice Day! :-)
