Description Think it is the right category

Tools... sharpies of various sizes, and one fine black pen to outline with

This is just a really fun fire bird looking thing.

I plan on using it as the family symbol of the flight gifted Samo-Yans. Just in case you are curious, Ryu has a bit of that family in him, so you could say it is his family symbol. Remember the tiger? That is Kojisai's family's symbol. Well this one is Ryu's

Anyway, I hope you like it. ^__^

If you like the style of art here, you might enjoy these images of mine as well. ^__^

it looks as though you might have used a calligraphy pen.

Good luck then. I have dual point sharpies, so you might want a thin and a normal one to get that look

I have always loved this style of drawing, it has to be my favorite. So could you please define minimalism for me? I think I have a good idea about what it is but I'd like to be sure.

manic-goose In reply to sapphire82 [2007-08-03 22:32:05 +0000 UTC]

Well, first I would like to say that I am not sure if this bird is minimalism or not... I'm not sure what to call it, and I think that many people would call it minimalism, but technically, I don't think it is. that is because the definition would be to represent as much as you can with as little as you can. In other words, draw a few lines to represent something. Don't draw all the details or even bother to connect the lines you do draw, the less you can get away with the better. So when drawing minimalism... as well as this style (which I just call "pretty line art" ) what I do is I make a rough sketch, including all the rough details and composition, and then I figure out which lines I feel are most important to give the viewer the general feeling, then I draw just those lines and erase everything else. If there isn't enough to give the right impression, then I might add another line. That is basically it.

lol, It seems you should have posted this as a tattoo design. It looks good, like a colorless phoenix!
