Description The word "God" in Chinese.
Style: shin-shu mixing chao shu.

This particular word is writen with my eyes closed, and it's the version I am most happy with so far comparing to other experiements. I realized when I write with my eyes closed, although the edges are rougher, but more meaning is out.

WOW this poweful piece of Calligraphy is so very impressing...
I wish I could do that so well... O.o
However, if I were You, I'd allow a bit more space at the edges to prevent it from filling out the paper too much...
I especially admire the first and the third(=second) stroke... how large is the whole thing?
...
I wish I could be able to learn proper calligraphy but in my country it's almost impossible... T-T

O_o
Man who hacked your account to post that comment!!
"...I wish I could be able to learn proper calligraphy..."
What's this on your gallery I've been faving madly then
But its true the brush strokes are very broad and powerful.
I been looking at several calligraphies and sumi-e paintings.
I come to realize that people's strokes are like writing - each has its own - I've tried to 'mimic' your style without much success

Balance is not the same as symmetry, folks. The most admirable calligraphy dares to be itself.
...Nice job!

花? <---if this didn't show, then I can't teach you here, you may however find other teachers outside of DA who can teach you. As long as u want to learn.

That looks fantastic for having your eyes closed. I'm a fan of sharp edges and the first character is written extremely well, especially the paper thin line connecting it.

i will be working on a tutorial on this kind of thing...

But that might come after the highly demanded tutorial on making manga. ^^bb
I have run a poll on my journal, most votes still go to manga tutorial for starter. However, I will make this tutorial anyway, and I have formed a small club on DA i will post my tutorial there too.

When I can not see what is on the paper, I can see better of what I have in mind, when I can't see what my hands are doing, I can see what I want my hands to do.

When my fear is hindering me, I can try to make an artwork perfect by being careful in my strokes. But if my fear holds me back from what I truely wish to express, it's better for me to close my eyes, I see more of what i want.

brownkuma [2004-07-16 03:30:49 +0000 UTC]

Nice strokes. It shows your good control on brushes. But the left part is a little too wide, I'm afraid. It made the character kinda out of balance.

lol, my dad saw it when he was passing by...his crit: Nice piece but the left side is too big in contrast with the right. I told him your eyes were closed XD..that changes a lot

mayshing In reply to na-insoo [2004-07-16 16:28:29 +0000 UTC]

X3 I know the left side is too heavy
but... if I want to describe God that way.... I think its rather fitting that one side is smaller.
I know i will continue to get crit like this, but its kind of nice that way, at least, real calligraphers bother to crit me now. XD
