Returned to Japanese calligraphy to day with the kanji for ‘hanasu’ (‘speak’):
Admittedly it’s a fairly straightforward interpretation but, as has been the case with several previous images, less was most likely more. I’d definitely like to start adding more colour to these though; much as I love making B/W drawings, I’m beginning to itch to put more variety in. However I’ve got a few ideas for some colour drawings this week, so watch this space!
In other news I’d like to say thank you and give first-time shout-outs to health writers L-Jay at L-Jay Health and Anna at Cancer Killing Recipe, and to writers Hiba Khalil at Cloud of Lace and to Garrett at Brother Sun, who all liked Martini; take a look at their writings at the above links. I’d also like to give further shout-outs to Harsh Mellow, Aaron, Peri, The Circle of It, and Edilio Ciclostile for also liking Martini, and to Marney McNall for liking Rorschach Elephant.
Love calligraphy and especially jap. call. 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I agree, I think the flow to Japanese calligraphy in particular is gorgeous; I’d love to learn the language.
I started to learn it but unfortunately I don’t have enough time to progress in it:(
That’s a shame; if it’s any reassurance I’ve heard similar stories from other friends of mine, as well as my other half, who’ve tried to learn it as well. I have the feeling illustrating one kanji at a time is probably the slowest learning method imaginable 😉
Exactly. Though I still dream about doing Kanji calligraphy on a larger scale (maybe I will learn sth afterall:)) but always have more urgent projects to do so never get to it..:(((
