The New Art Project - no title



 Since I've done my Maiko Project, I decided to start new one. It took me awhile to come up with a proper idea. I always liked drawing beautiful clothes and people. Since I drew Japanese clothes for my last project, I want to challenge something new. Thus, I decided to draw different dresses. I used to like drawing dancers, different dresses, a princess, ball gowns and other girlish things, so I thought it would be good if a theme of the new project is something related to them. Therefore, my new project will be called 'a ball project'. Hopefully, I will come up with a better title for it.

 So here are some rough drawings that I drew for practice. It took me only 30 minuets to draw them. However, I did not draw the whole bodies and dresses. To be honest, I drew them just for fun and entertainment. Next time, I will try to actually draw a ball gown by water colours.



The Maiko Project - the final work

 I am very disappointed at myself that it took me so long to finish this work and actually upload it.  Although I was busy with exams and other important things, I have to admit that I could be much better at organizing time if I tried harder. Therefore, I can't say that I'm satisfied with my first project.
 And I am not happy with the quality of my final drawing. I rushed a bit and I did not draw carefully. I missed some details of the back ground and Kimono. I hoped that I might be able to express the beauty and complexity of Kimono and the make-up of Maiko San by using pencils...but I clearly failed it. 
 Therefore I would give only 5 out of 10 for my project and the work itself.
