Sparrow Sumi-e Drawing - スズメ -

hi, Sparrow, suzume, is so common that I have not watched it carefully usually. It however, is so cute bird. Do you find them around you?
I posed some tips for sparrow drawing in ink, please reference the below.

Can you tell me what kind of brush that is? Is that a regular Bamboo brush? I'm practicing Sumi-e and I'm just a beginner. Every time I do a stroke the end of the stroke has water or is smudged but all of your strokes come out clean. Do you know what I could be doing wrong? I use regular bamboo brush. Maybe it's the brush? Or maybe how much water I have on it?

hi, I guess that you put water too much in brush. Other parts than the head of the sparrow(the first drawing part), I squeeze the water out of the brush before drawing.

The House Sparrow is one of my favourite birds. Sadly, they seem to have declined in numbers in London UK of late. Nobody really knows why. Great painting Kazu

@ibanut sumi-e is the traditional japanese painting style so it would be ink. Ink is also a very asian way of doing it, and it will appear in both east asian and indian paintings too, though the styles are quite different

Can you do wider screen shots so we can see how you load the brush, too?
