Geisya Kimono Sumi-e Art 2

[2Touchstone]

Beautiful! It's all painted with the same brush! Are these the brushes that the old masters like Hokusai used?

[mangajungle]

wow, very beautifully done. I love the finishing! it actually looked like one of thoes vintage Japanese Geisya paintings, except without it looking stained. speaking of which, you should! try staining it with a little coffee or black tea. but not so much as to covering the art work it self. again, very well done! (now favorited)

[kareenalcarez]

dugayang mahuman ani uie...but such a beautiful master piece..'''it's true...

[mpenciler]

excellent

[marley1993]

i love it :D but this is an oiran not a geisha, a courtesan not an entertainer, everyone gets confused between those two

[narutostarfire]

now that's what i call extreme patients and graceful drawing i need to start learning not to rush and be one with the pencil or brush medium.first i need to learn to be in control with a computer keyboard and increase accuracy.very beautiful art thats why im trying to search for japanese art video to get more inspirational and reference techiques for my drawings thank you for your video really i love japan awesome.

[LittleImpaler]

WOW, that was really cool!

I don't care if the geisha's obi in the front, it's a beautiful piece of art. WOW the tip of your brush.

[ulugulugulugulugu]

really amazing

[Luminasita]

The 'riverbed prostitutes' wore their obi in the front because wives did- and they were basically a wife for a night. At different stages, geisha and prostitutes wore different amounts of ornaments in their hair. That wasn't always the case anyway, but if its an artist's view of a geisha- it's a geisha.

The style is amazing to watch though, I'm deeply impressed with the control required to create this image! Thank you so much for posting!

She is a geisha because a prostitute tie's there obi in the front.

[Bousiewhite]

everyone feels with the right to be one... but...actually they are not

[maikor3]

cool except that one of her arm is smaller but overal great job!

[Bousiewhite]

Everyone is a critic, thats easy, but being an artist, a real one thats the question...i do not criticize proportion on his drawing...i think its all about rhytm of line...prrrrrrfect

however, the subject isnot accurate, she is not geisha...i think she is a TAYUU, am i right?

[francinenazaruddin]

Everyone IS a critique

[gillidragon]

I agree, the subject is not a geisha. This drawing is one of a Tayuu or Japanese prostitute of the olden days. Traditional Geisha wouldn't be caught dead with so many kanzashi in their hair. They are restricted to one set of the comb like sticks.

[LittleImpaler]

@gillidragon Who cares, it's art. Art doesn't have to be actuate.

[Bousiewhite]

@gillidragon that is so right

[sjunz]

very nice~~

[DragOzze]

amazing but would be better if you didnt touch her eye at 4:46

[Hellic08Pride]

this kind of art requires a lot of hardwork, patience and skills,. this is fantastic..

[ChineseCalligraphy]

Your artwork is really good; stunning.

I am very impressed with your work though.

:)

Well done.

[Calebmoyer]

cuter than the real thing

[xaxisxophiodes]

O.O

VERY WELL DONE

[mckronic]

you can close the advertisements that way they don't obstruct your view

[watawatan0w]

awesome!

[sujinshin6291]

That's not a geisha but an oiran, a courtesan.

Great job though.

[Bousiewhite]

lovely!!

[misselit]

gyönyörű...

Hello Kazu, your art is beautiful :) I have been trying out Sumi E, but my materials arent that good of quality :( do you know where i can get traditional brushes, watercolor, and paper? keep it up I cant wait to see more :)

[floodindahood]

Your skill and accuracy with brush is almost amazing but, the characters you draw and the compositions are not very impressive.

If you would perhaps study western art/anatomy you would most surely end up somewhere else than only youtube.

Even though what I said might sound offensive i didn't mean them in offensive way, I think you are doing great job but, you could be doing much better.

Good luck with getting there ^^

[LittleImpaler]

@floodindahood Do you realize this is Japanese translational art????????? It's not western art. It has different rules.

[aracelis123456]

not bad

[FuturisticXXL]

so elegant - what do you do with all these pictures?

[ulrichred]

My God! Shimura san, I'm speechless!

[elemilex]

man! this was a REALLY fine (elegant) work.. I've never done sumi-e in my life, but I do watercolor and color ink.. are you on hi5? I'd love to share pictures with you. I'll send you a message.. cheers!

[Heulwen]

That is gorgeous.

[shybuttcute]

hi there. i love this painting, congrats. I´ve actually tried this one, with not so good result,of course! Is it painted on rice paper? it doesnt look so absorbant. I find it dificult to paint thin lines on rice paper.

[kazushimura]

hello, shybutcute san

it is rice paper. To escape from absorbant, it is necessary to squeeze the brush to put water out. pls try it

kazu

[thezec]

that must take alot of patience and give a strain to the hand

I like drawing japanese art but i do it mostly in fine liner lol

[kazushimura]

hi, thezec,

try drawing in this kind of brush, more fan

[kazushimura]

hi all, thank you for those comments

[DelphaLune]

That's so beautiful. I would love to learn to do that! Sumi-e is such a great art.

[kieharx]

You should have been a surgeon.

[mizze86]

[AnvilCrazy85]
