I'd join if I could... you know... draw. I tried to draw an arrow yesterday. It ended up... Well, not looking like anything particular, but especially not an arrow. :(

 

My hands get super-shaky when I try to draw.

 

I just find this post especially funny because it actually happens to me a lot. You can draw arrows with three lines, but I want my arrows to have triangles at the end. I always mess it up and it never points to where I want it to point...

Interesting juxtaposition you have there with the Buddhacat. There's an old tale about the origin of cats in paintings of Buddhas. Perhaps you've heard of it before?

 

i actually have not heard that, though i'm always curious about that kind of stuff. can you paraphrase, or do you have a link?

 

it was a bit more personal for me, a family friend when i was growing up was a Buddhist and i always loved going to her house because she had tons of animals there. at least 10 cats, several dogs, a whole wall of her living room devoted to a giant birdcage, a tank full of fish, you name it. i sent her the original drawing as a gift.

It's been quite sometime since I've read the story so my memory of it may be quite different from the actual tale. With that said the story is a Japanese Folk tale that centers around a poor artist who is commisioned to paint a Buddha for a temple, which also happens to be haunted by a demon rat. Fortunately for the painter there is also a cat. How it happens to be there or why is forgotten to me. As a result the artist would hide cats within his paintings of Buddhas. Prior to that cats weren't placed in paintings because they were believed to be evil.

 

At least that's how I remember it.

quick sketchwork done a couple of days ago. I printed it for the heck of it and put it right next to a serene painting of happy little trees that I painted as a result of watching a Bob Ross instructional on PBS a couple of months ago.

"Gosh! I haven't been to the drawing thread in forever! I've been drawing lots of Whimsicotts lately, maybe I should go and po-"

*sees new posts and peeps*

"WELP NEVERMIND"

 

I haven't really been drawing that much really. The Whimsicotts were drawn on the 3DS' Swapnote anyway, but I should try to post a little more! I'm stunned to see so many talented peeps other than LittlePirate post their creations! It's lovely and admittedly inspirational!
