What is success?

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

The pregnant woman

I draw some illustration just for relaxing.



The pregnant woman wears knee high socks.



I put washi paper which is traditional japanese paper on it.

Before I draw,I saw collected painting of Egon Schiele.
He is one of my favorite artist.I love his expression of woman's face.

Also I like his color.
It's really fashionable.







Daaamn,I love it!

Pencil drawing

I took a drawing class today.
I use only pencil.When I draw,It is important to think that how far I can go.

If you have think that you have to make masterpiece or to compete with somebody or to make something beautiful,you'll have a fear.
Then you gonna lose your power.

So I just tried to draw to follow the rule which are accurate measurement and using only straight line.



This is my work that model is sitting down the antique chair.



I dedicated myself to draw the textile of chair in detail.



When I cannot understand shape of the object,I try to draw it on another paper until I understand.Once I understand the concept ,it's going to be easy.

Hokusai Katsushika

Hokusai Katsushika (October or November 1760–May 10, 1849) is one of my favorite artist.He found a success in ukiyo-e painting and printed at Edo period.
He was a big infuluence on Vincent van Gogh,Claude Monet,Edgar Degas who were impressionnisme in 19century in Europe.

As you know already,he painted many Mt.Fuji.The Great Wave off Kanagawa is the most famous print in his series 36 views of Mount Fuji.

For me,what is love about him is his composition.
Every his artwork was well calculated.So I feel comfortable when I see his art.

Apparently the composition and construction pretty much decides whether good art or not.He used a golden section,measurement,a lot of geometric shapes.He thought he could draw everything by circle and triangle.

I’ll show you something.



At first,you put diagonal line, then you put the middle point of compass at lower corner of left side.The tip of billow and the top of Mt.Fuji are located at intersection point between the arc and diagonal line.Amazing!





This one,I put Golden section ruler two ways. Either way he got all important point.And separation of canvas is perfectly done. Unbelievable!

I cannot believe that he did without knowing.I’m sure he intended.

That's why he gave to us a big impact and impressions.So I admire him so much.
The great work must have some reason.
