Last Terracotta Artisans: Mrs.Chien

in #dclick6 years ago

Hi Everyone ❤

Today I would love to share with you another portrait from the series of all the last terracotta artisans from the documentary film project for the Thanh Ha Terracotta Park and Museum in Hoi An city, Quang Nam province, Vietnam.

Mrs. Chien is a very kind and lovely woman, who has worked hard all her life. She has sacrificed a lot to support her own family like many other traditional Vietnamese women. As an artisan who has contributed to terracotta village for more than sixty years, she’s an important and respected person in Thanh Ha village- a 500 year old pottery village at Hoi An city, Quang Nam province, Vietnam.

Our team visited her house to interview her and the cinematograph filed her work. I tried to capture her daily life, including her work in my drawing.

Here are some pictures showing the process of creating the scribble style drawing of Mrs.Chien

My first step was to capture the layout and key reference points.

I then added more details to her face, capturing the highlights from the light and areas of shadow to give more depth.

And here is the final scribble drawing of Mrs.Chien, each shade is made up of many scribbles, which are free flowing.

Thank you very much @danieldoughty I'm glad that you like scribbled style. Still not so many artists try this art style but I think it will be more popular

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

I still not check their English translation. The film has many documentary interviews so I hope everyone can understand

Thank you @art-venture Your manual curation is great support for artists. It's an honour for me to have my art shown in your magazine

Great job. It's been a while since i did portraits. And they were from pictures and photos and never life portrait. I don't have the confidence to do life portraits.

Thank you very much @quotes-haven I try to do both. You can do some quick sketches of life portraits for fun first to increase your confidence

Thank you. That's a good idea. :-)

A beautiful job you are doing when you visit the people of Vietnam, and share your history and customs with us, that is really wonderful.

Excellent work of art, drawing a person that way, is a bit difficult, but what you do, makes it look easy.

Regards @livvu.

Thank you very much for your great encouragement @francisftlp

What a nice post. You got a real cool talent @livvu, being able to capture an individual like that in the middle of their work. Well done!

Thank you very much @dandays I captured first layout by pencil there then continue to do scribbled sketch at home because my art just appears as introduction for this documentary film

Wonderfully done! I like that you included the photo of you doing the drawing while she's working. You captured her very well, and I really like your unique art style!

Thank you so much @melinda010100 for your encouragement !

My pleasure! I do appreciate your talent!
