Mt.Fuji Sumi-E ink drawing

I once climbed to the top of there to see the sun rise. After two hour way, the bus arrived at the half point to the top. It was around six o'clock in the evening. a walking thru the night until midnight. The sun rise from the top was exciting view. more than that I still remember the fun jumping down walk on the back way.

Tips:

1. Draw the mountains around Mt.Fuji. Mt. Fuji from Tokyo is seen like this. These mountains locate in Hakone area where good hot springs is. To draw mountans, you need lay the brush and move side, so that the thick sumi ink on the top of the brush can depict the ridge line and can express the vague cloud hiding part

2. The angle of mountain Fuji is needed to exaggerate so that anyone can understand what you draw. Start with thin line and at the middle of the ridge, push the brush and throw it down. The shaft of the brush and the line direction goes toward the same way whereas the surrounding mountains are drawn by the side slide.

3. The shade of the hill: first light move and push, then run.

im a noob at this but im learning.Can i use normal chinese caligraphy ink?& waht size was the brush that u used???

[kazushimura]

hi, thank you everyone,

and 9unslinge, you can use caligraphy ink. My brush size is 0.9mm(Body) and the length of brush hair is 3.5mm. Longer hair gives you a soft touch. so longer hair is good at drawing flower.

True, art can be a great number of things.

However, I do not like this so called "Art" style being used around the cities.

It just uglies up the urban areas and further supports the notion of a typical "bad" neighborhood.

Now if this sorta grafitti was done in Illustration boards then that's another thing.

I've seen people create graffiti on boards and even canvases as large as 5ftx5ft.

If you're gonna make graffiti do it in a controlled manner not just picking a poor resident's wall....

how can you draw that good without sketch? i m a beginner, it's so hard for me!

[yoops]

@rcmodder

Actually, graffiti is both art and vandalism if done on public property or another persons private property. People should do graffiti in their notebook or on their own home if they want to do it, don't vandalize property.

Graffiti actually send a message to other people about what happen in the world, it's actually good to see some on the street near your house

fair comment i agree not on pplz house's however i think graffiti does sometime make a place look better and it shouldnt be stereotype as making it a bad neighborhood its all down to peoples persception of it eg it looks good or its vandalism
