Brush painting CW Logo

 

I pulled my Japanese Brush Painting set out and was thankful I remembered how to make the ink and hold the brush. Its just so.. Japanese.... you have to empty your mind and commit to the moment and then let it go to go on to do the next stroke.

I did two perfect strokes - but they weren't on the same picture,,, and the rest of the painting looked aweful.. ahh well. I also don't think I was in the right head space to be doing this- a few crappy things on today - but in retrospect - perhaps this was the best thing for me to be doing...

below are two of my better attempts.  Not 100% delighted with any of them....

 

 

Simplified logo for Chinese Whisperings

I've had a go at The Chinese Whisperings Logo agian - a simplified brush stroke style.  Tonight - or more likley tommorrow I'll get my ink and pen out and have a go at this and see if I can get a cleaner version

Here are my last two attempts.. One of them looks like she is wearing a lampshade on her head. Its time to stop and go and write something..... prefereably with lots of blood in it

Chinese Wisperings logo

I was very honoured to have been asked to draw a simple line drawing of the Chinese Whisperings logo for thier twitter account.

Simple line drawing - easy!! ha ha.. I have a dozen sketches, and as many crumpled up pieces of paper around my area as I have attempted to capture the simple beauty of the model.  Ihave been trying to draw this for a week and have failed miserably...Here are the best so far.
