Hi everybody, sharing some tips to draw bamboo.
1. Use a medium chinese brush.
2. Prepare the ink, 2 plates, 1 bowl and paper.
3. Prepare the paper. Not sure what is the name, but i think should be rice paper.
4. Pour the ink on 1 of the plate.
5. Using the tip of the brush, take a little bit if the ink and smered it on the second plate.
6. Using the brush, take water and take water to the second plate untill you think the ink is already very dilluted (light).
7. Using the brush take the ink from the second plate.
( From here, the brush must not have the sharp tip, it must be flat. You can also, use your finger to press the tip to become flat, it must not be sharp.)
8. Now you got the flat brush. Take the dilluted ink.after that using the two side of the brush, take the ink from the first plate.
( The flat brush hair now have 2 side. The right side, and the left side. Using the sharp side of both side (horizontal) and dip a little of ink.)
9. Now, drain the excess ink away.
10. Now it is ready to draw thw bamboo.
To be continued. .....
