Ink Painting / 墨汁畫 - 竹樹

Today when I surfed Steemit, I saw @kitcat and @incrediblesnow are joining a drawing tree game proposed by @helene. Lately I saw @nicolemoker keep showing her artistic talent and I know I am jealous that everyone get their own talent to show. All of the sudden, I saw my landlord left some of the drawing material in the kitchen and I thought no one could stop me for challenging myself even the blockchain and so that I decide to participate in this drawing game.

剛好今天看到 @kitcat 和 @incrediblesnow 都在參加 @helene 的畫樹遊戲。最近看到 @nicolemoker也經常在展示自己的藝術天份。看到也覺得很羨慕，有自己的天資可以分享給大家。忽然發現在廚房裡，看見房東遺留了一些墨汁和毛筆，心想反正再畫得多爛也沒有人可以阻擋我。挑戰自己也是人生興趣之處啊。

To sum up, I feel not everyone is suitable for art. For me, not that I drew it once, or twice but three pictures! When I drew, I was showing it live for the Hong Kong Team Steemians, and they did not encourage me at all, and they keep laughing and laughing. I decide to share my process to all of you because I think it may be interesting.

可是到最後發現藝術這東西真的不是每一個人適合的。我畫了不是一幅，不是二幅，而三幅。畫的時候也是直播給香港的Steemians 看，他們不但沒有鼓勵，還一直在笑，看來我剛出道便要放棄當畫家的念頭，還是早起床回去上班了。可是過程也是有趣的，所以分享給大家。

Materials are just: ink, brush and drawing paper

材料非常簡單，墨汁，毛筆和宣紙

First picture:

第一幅畫：

I am finding the problems are the brush is too think and the ink is too hard to concentrate in one point as it keeps spreading out.

心想學 @kitcat 畫一個大樹好了，發現難題了：

1. 毛筆太粗
2. 墨汁太容易化開

It was actually quite smooth when I first drew the trunk.

剛開始樹桿還畫得很順利

Then on the main body, it looks ok as it also draws the praise from @nicolemoker.

然後畫樹的主體是剛開始也是很有意思，@nicolemoker 也有說畫得不錯。

Then the problem came, the ink kept on spreading, to the point it was out of control and the HK team calls it as "A tree after explosion" @@.

之後問題來了，墨水一直在化開，甚至在完全失控。香港的Steemain叫這畫做"受到轟炸後的大樹" @@。

Second Trial

第二幅畫：

My main objective is to control the ink better.

雖然還是畫大樹，可是主要是避免它會化開。

Trunk:

一樣首先是樹桿：

The main body, the HK team thought I was drawing Korean words...

二是樹身，但是他們覺得我在寫韓文字。

At last, they called it "A tree who would speak Korean"

最後，他們叫這幅畫做"會韓文字的樹"。

I was thinking to give up, all of the sudden, I felt bamboo tree could fit the bill as it is not as complex as the normal tree so I could avoid the ink problem.

本來打算放棄了，最後想到竹樹可以適合，因為他比較不豐盛，可以避免墨汁化開的問題。

Third trial

第三幅畫：

Trunk:

一樣首先是樹桿：

Then the leaves:

再來是樹葉：

Keep on going...

繼續努力畫。。

Complete!!

完成了 :)。

At the end, I am happy with the result because I challenge myself.

到最後我還是很開心，因為我挑戰了自己 :)
