Figure Drawing & Illustration

Started to try something new from last figure drawing session, the power of multi-figured comps.

Instead drawing individual figures in my sketchbook, i purposely combine each pose into a comp that looks more interesting, here's the orginal sketch and an illustration came out of it.

Year of the Snake

I went back to Beijing in Feb 2013 for the Chinese new year, this year is 癸巳- the water snake, which reminds me a famous Chinese folk lore "The tale of the White Snake".

In the story a white snake turned into a human lady form and married a guy she fall in love with, but a monk doesn't approve the love between human and demon, he took away the man and locked him into his temple. The snake was furious and turn back into a giant snake and try to use water magic to drown the entire temple.

I painted this quickly with some Chinese parinting and mark making technique in my father's studio.

Icon of ZhuQue

I created a icon of ZhuQue also as "Vermilion Bird". Very similar to the Chinese Phoenix, but more like the Western version of Phoenix which is a firebird, for more information for this mythological creature check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuque

Chinese Type illustration

I created a type illustration for the character "右" can be also read as "友" or "发"

Chinese Painting LOTUS

While I was visiting Beijing last month, i painted a quick painting in my father's studio and played with all his materials, i spent about 1 hour to paint this Chinese painting version of my illustration "Journey to the west". Different than the original illustration, this work is much more fine artish and also much larger in scale.
