The following drawings are dedicated to all members who like the red and black color combination (you know who you are :p) Sorry about it being photos again, I will be getting my hands on my scanner in two weeks inshallah :cute:

Critiques are very much welcomed :)

Just a little note about the first drawing: The shape is a carving called Kumara and is done by the NZ Maori people on bones, wood or jade stones. The entwined shape represents both friendship and growth. I just added my own little pizzazz to it :)

Interesting, but it's well worth it... very beautiful!

Do you publish your work somewhere? I think particularly Kiwi ppl would appreciate them so much, your work is so Maori-like, maybe you were inspired by them in the first place? :)

No lol it's not published anywhere, it's kind of a talent that I haven't turtured much :p Haven't had much practice but I recently decided I should, so am still kinda experimenting. It's just a hobby :cute:

I was actually inspired in the first place by henna patterns :) but yeah, I also love the maori patterns, carvings and tattoos. The curls totally rock :D

impressive...do you construct a grid system before drawing such pieces or do you just eye ball them?

Thank you guys for all the comments :D I really appreciate it! :cute:

DeeZel I just "eye ball" them, no grid system :)

That's really nice =D! I really think you should get into the habit of constructing grid systems and studying symmetry. You seem to have a natural talent for it =).

^ Thanks for the tips!

I shall definetly look into it! I never thought of using grid systems while drawing :cute:
