Description He was a kind man, I should not complain... at least a rare kind , that didn't ask me for things I wouldn't offer myself.

So you felt indebted to him to do more than he asked?

He was a kind man... and I wanted to keep my hair long.

Whom did you love? For whom did you keep your hair long?

At that time, i hoped I will not love... it was so easy to have a free empty heart, at least it didn't hurt, and didn't feel like cheating.
I simply wanted to keep my hair long...

So... you are just vain?

You smile when you say that? You want me to be vain...

I am not afraid to love...

But first..you need to learn to understand....

I can say, you're one of the people whose works inspired me to try and experiment with pattern abundance. In my own way, but really - it's so much fun, what i had been seeing as scarily meticulous before I took up courage and tried myself.

Beautiful atmosphere in the picture, like always. I like the setting and the picture's description.
It really sets the mood.

...wow, I didn't notice the drabble on your LJ. *Blinks* it's interesting!

It reminds me of the Picture of Dorian Gray. interesting!!

Still loving the form, the features, and the composition on this one...I agree with your other commentors-- it's cool how your steam of the chawan works its way through the picture. very neat.

Lovely composition, though. I think that's one of the best parts about your work.

I edited and posted it on LJ as well now - but it wasn't there initially ^^~ I decided to add a little extra to my works and offer little glimpses into what i think while I draw.


Thank you darling for the kind words! You are so sweet!

Curious how elements of the foreground become part of the background painting. :3
Interesting idea there. ^_^
You're very good indeed!

Thank you for the sweet comment!
I like to give the drawings in this style a certain feeling of abstractness. Thus the transition of *grounds* and various patterns and stuff. I'm so glad it works for you!

Laroche [2008-11-19 20:02:43 +0000 UTC]

I love the attention to detail in the picture. The border of the tatamimat, the pattern of the kimono, the many folds and especially the shadow at the window with its inverted pattern of the kimono. It suggest that the person in the picture is not fully human or supernatural, maybe a ghost.
The smoke is an interesting touch too leading the eye towards the moon like window.
Overall it has a calm and a bit sad feeling to it.
Like a moment lost.

Keep the good work comming! ^^

I'm glad you enjoy this, darling. I am not sure if he is human as well... but with beautiful things you never know~

Patterns are so interesting, did you notice the one on the lattice of the window? They provide a certain texture to the image and also in a way make it somewhat surreal.

Laroche In reply to AoiShu [2008-11-21 09:14:10 +0000 UTC]

I missed the ones on the lattice window. Textures are a way of improving a picture in many ways. ^^

Please keep up the good work <3
