A friend of mine ask me to draw him something , anything , u know actually when the theme are anything = difficult , so i ask him any color prefer - no , so what is ur house's wall? -white....what is ur major furniture color? empty !.... what do u like ? girl. hahaha naked? perfecto hahahha OMG!!
My friend is a very kind person , he know i am armature , but still he wont mind my drawing to spoil his house interior match. This is my 2nd drawing as gift. a little pressure :)
Anyway here is my painting for him ;
Just a night before he whatzapp me , i was doing a research about Nyonya (peranakan) cause i am actually half blood , was doing this research to ready for my next shoe design collection. Anyhow , a geisha illusion impressed me , a very sad geisha with red blood tears.
my sketch at beginner
Just started with the line, still very blur with the direction .
Why KOI TATTOO? - i think not so many know actually Koi are Chinese in origin , we call Carp. The carp
is now widely celebrated in Japan.
The Koi is more then just beautiful, masculine, positive qualities ,bright colorful, expensive , attention extra need and collectable.
Koi are surrounding with ancient myth in the Orient and their elevated status. This theme dates back to
ancient China, where a legend tells of how any koi that succeeded in
climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate (on the Yellow River)
would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a
symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement.
游鱼戏水被网欺，跳过龙门化身去，
三尺杨柳垂金钱，万朵逃花显神能.
I choose Koi tattoo in combination with flowing water to symbolizing courage, the ability to attain
high goals, and overcoming life's difficulties. I think that the must sprite to have to survive as a geisha.
naked geisha ?
hahaha 1st cause my friend requested a naked girl.
2nd it symbolizing the strong, strength and the self confident of the geisha.
GREEN KOi -What the fuck ?
I choose to hide the below part (face) of the geisha with a fan with a "normal" girl face paint.
She is hiding he personality behind.
i am not good with eyes so i decide to close her eyes.
fire red eyes shadow -?!! ah is my dream to put on , but i am too tan , will not be able to bring out the best of the geisha makeup :)
Black hair? never in my mind
was think purple hair color , as u can see on above , but then the color are to heading to blue.
SO.....
Green La
The Modern Geisha.
At the end i added a leopard print tattoo on the neck to stronger the feel of wildness , the typical modern street girl.
in the same time i added lining along the face - geisha's heavy make up not only cover their own real beauty,
also rape away their personality.
wearing a mask,
no matter what is the mood of the day u will never find the expression on geisha face.
This is my Modern Geisha with attitude.
still thinking about the background color .
will upload again the final piece :)
