- "Hum...I don't like this big black bird..."
- "Yep...Me neither..."

"Karasu" means "crow / raven" in japanese. I draw that picture at the back of a pizza box : the paper was so beautiful that I thought it would be interesting to draw on that kind of texture :D (gouache, china ink, markers and acrylic gouache, 6~7 hours of work)

I was inspired for that drawing (particularly for the crow) by the paintings of the Edo period, the Ukiyo-e.

"karasu" (le corbeau)
Des fois je me demande où je vais chercher des idées pareilles...
J'ai fait ce dessin à l'arrière d'une boite de pizza : le papier était tellement beau que ca aurait vraiment été du gachis de ne pas le reccupérer (Merci Mc Cain). Ca n'a pas été facile pourtant : ce papier n'admet pas la moindre contrariété (il ne faut pas trop gommer, trop le détremper, mettre trop d'encre...Bref la galère)
Ca m'a pris du temps (6~7 heures) mais je suis plutot contente du résultat :D (et hop! une petit moment d'auto-satisfaction, ca n'arrive pas souvent)

You know what. I like your art style and i am seriously thinking about looking into actually checking up on what you do.
I love the Edo period or anything that has to do with old Japan. Researching it when i feel like it makes me very happy and this painting in it's simplicity is absolutely wonderful. The slanted eyes and crow are what i spotted first, i like these details.It also looks like a wall scroll if you will or an old Japanese painting.

Omg, this one is SO old. I drew it years ago at the back of a pizza box because I loved the texture of the paper. Unfortunately, most of my works are digital now so you won't find something like that anymore in my gallery.
Thanks a lot :love:

Thank you very much :w00t:
As you can see in my comment below the pix, I drew that one at the back of a pizza box. That's what gives that soft brown background color :giggle:
