Therefore the time is needed from here.

Etching for a bookplate

2005-03-06 19:13:20 | Weblog

One year and six months have passed since I bigan to learn the copper plate drawing (etching).
It is the work which requires perseverance very much.
Therefore, it is difficult to become skillful.
Now, I am making a bookplate.
One of the process is introduced here.
This designed bird called Austrarian Pelikan "KOSHIGUROPERIKAN".
The work which evolved further will be able to be carried at next week.

Sepia colored Mont Saint Michel

2005-03-05 19:01:12 | Landscape
Here, the idea when drawing a picture and one of the technique to draw are explained.

This is the first picture of Mont Saint Michel and a shepherd.
I got the hint of this picture from an old advertising picture about sheep and shepherd.
This view is my favorite construction.
This picture was drawn by sepia color pen after that was blotted with water.

I want to meet this bird also this year again.
This bird has a distribution of the eastern part in the North American Continent.
Very rare vagrant in the North American Continent.
I was surprised when this bird was seen by Ontario of Canada for the first time last year.
This bird will be crossed to Ontario in Canada across Lake Erie in May from south.
I was having thought that it was a very beautiful bird.


Parabenzoin praeox “ABURACHAN”

2005-03-05 09:23:06 | Plants
The snow-covered landscape are saw through the window today too.
Today you can look at a work which it's one of my favorite drawing.

This picture is Parabenzoin praeox and a beetle.
Parabenzoin means a compher.
This plant is called “ABURACHAN” and this species is only found in Japan.
It is the family of camphor tree “KUSUNOKI”.
Usually, Owing to containing camphor (Benzene), common insects hate them rather than just avoid them.
But I seemed this beetle liked it. I don’t know this beetle’s name.

Hobart in my heart

It is the forecast that it begins to snow from tonight.

Let's carry the picture drawn now here.
I can remember this scene vividly.
Sandy bay is in Hobart, Tasmania.
This scenery was seen at Jane Franklin Hall "The dormitory of Tasmania University".
After drawing with the pen of sepia colore, it was made to spread with water and gave the shade.
