Creative Monday
Tried doing brush and ink portraiture of real people instead of animals. It seemed more difficult as minor misplacement of the facial features can easily render the portrait untruthful of the person being drawn. And it took much longer to draw people, more than twice the time I need to draw animal portraits, as I […]

R.I.P. Liu Xiaobo

(Starving) Artist?
It’s been nearly a year since I had my first calligraphy class.
