The Strange House

A piece swiftly drawn with technical pigment pens and Copic markers.

This is really nice, has a great ambience about it. Slightly spooky...

I know what Bob means. There's a ramshackle, worn look about it. I can't tell if anyone still lives there or not.

Also, the tilt of the view, and the wavy, almost tempestuous layout of the terrain combine with the sail-like, rectangular banners on the T-supports and the flag banners from the twin poles combine to give it the aspect of a ghost ship riding on a stormy sea, the trees like frothy waves breaking against the hull and spewing peaks of foam high ito the air.

Good work.

Yeah, I really like the style of these drawings. I'm glad you're posting Chuang Shyue Chou! I think drawing has to be my favorite form of art to do and look at, and these are very unique.

Thanks Bob. I have wanted to capture an enigmatic feel but sometimes, it is harder than I would have thought.

Mjn, yes, you are right, there is indeed a ramshackle feel there. I wanted to create a stranger piece with more banners and sails. I wanted to evoke a certain look that is not exactly based on any movement.

Ari, you use those Copic markers? You do architecture and interior design?

Thaks Steve. I don't know about unique. I have seen so much good work out there and many are just as individual or more so.
