Hello!

My name is Ying. I enjoy reading and drawing. Even though reading usually leading into good writing but my imagination is …err… what you would call at the bottom of a dark pit. So basically I have no imagination, unless it is about drawing and sketching. Reading on the other hand is different. I don’t need much imagination for it or maybe enough imagination to make the movie in my head.

So … Drawing. Well there is really not much to say about that. Okay, maybe I have something to say about it.
1. I don’t draw portrait, unless you give me a couple of months then I might have it done for you.
2. Any large drawing might take a couple of weeks so don’t rush me unless you want a blank paper then I can give it to you as soon as you give me your request.

Anyway, enough about my rule on drawing and I am not really that serious about them too. I think the first time that I enjoy drawing was when I started high school. I had taken art classes before I started high school but the lesson is not like that in high school. In those art classes I paint and did charcoal drawing, but to me it seems that I was always judge in my art and didn’t care much about it. That change when I enter high school. I start to enjoy drawing especially charcoal. I think for my inspiration in drawing with charcoal, I have to thank my friend Dayanni with her drawing of the waterfall that gives me inspiration to tackle the water aspect of drawing. On my on free time, I like to draw designs, curves, lines, leaves, flowers, or anything things that has curves and no straight lines.

So drawings that I really love are:

I drew this in 2010 with charcoal and it is a copy of a landscape picture. I really like this drawing because it does not really show the complete shadow and there is a large difference between light and dark. As my teacher put it is is like a "watermark* drawing.

I drew this in 2011. This drawing is done with color pencils and color charcoal. This picture is one of the few drawing that I drew with color that I enjoy, The actual picture (an album cover by Adele) has a different color, but i like the color blue and purple to do this drawing.
