"Real girl are never perfect and perfect girls are never real." -- unknown This is my first time drawing a girl in ancient China.  I had fun drawing her.  I always wondered how the girls could get their hair in loops and stay in shape since they didn't have hair spray or gel in ancient China.  Anyone has any idea? #mtangdesigns  #mtangdesigns   #chinesebrushpainting   #国画   #画笔   #绘画

"The book is called opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day." -- Edith Lovejoy Pierce I did a simple calligraphy from my teacher's master piece.  The writing is in seal script.  The phrase means "Welcome spring and great fortunate". May the year of dog brings you lots of fortunate!  Happy Chinese New Year! #mtangdesigns #chinesenewyear #yearofdog #新年 #狗年 #戌年 #cny2018 #中国书法

"All you need is love.  But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt." -- Charles M. Schulz I did a drawing for my colleague's cat, Peanut! He is such a handsome cat!  I enjoyed drawing him a lot! Happy Valentine's Day! #mtangdesigns #cats #猫

"And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been." --Rainer Maria Rilke Good bye, January; Welcome, February!  Don't forget to fill your day with love and joy! #mtangdesigns #hobinichi #monthlyspread #monthlylayout

"A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself." -- Josh Billings     Chinese New Year is around the corner.  It is part of chines culture to draw or write calligraphy to bring good luck in the new year.  I drew this chubby toddler with a cute dog.  In Chinese astrology, 2018 is the year of dog!  The bottom of the shoes is the word "longevity".  The toddler wears a red sweater.  Red is an auspicious color!  This picture symbolizes a very lucky year!     May everyone has a healthy, happy and auspicious year! #mtangdesigns #chinesebrushpainting # 新年    

"I want to sing like the bird sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think." -- Rumi I love going to the class not knowing what I would get to draw next!  Ta da.. Seagulls!  I have never drawn seagulls before.  Part of learning is to stretch myself to draw something different! Don't forget to try something new this weekend to stretch yourself a bit!  You never know... you might like it!  Feel free to share at the comment what you have tried lately. Happy Friday, lovelies! #mtangdesigns #chinesebrushpainting #国画 #seagulls #海鸥 #海鷗
