Bear-woman

Charcoal

Drawing figure with imaginary story. Story is from Korean myth. Once upon a time, tiger and bear wanted to become a human. Upon hearing their prayers, Hwanung, son of Lord of Heaven, gave them 20 cloves of garlic and a bundle of mugwort, ordering them to eat only this sacred food and remain out of the sunlight for 100 days. The tiger gave up after about twenty days and left the cave. However, the bear persevered and was transformed into a woman. Bear-woman became Hwanung's wife and soon she gave birth to a son named Dangun. He is the legendary founder of Gojoseon, the first ever Korean kingdom. 

Best things that happened in my life

This is very first drawing of mine with charcoal. This drawing is about the best things that happened in my life. Meeting the love of my life and finding my path as an artist is the things that I appreciate every day.

The goal was to draw exaggerated face expression and with a focusing on light rather than shadow. During the assignment, April 16th was 2 year anniversary of Sewol Ferry Tragedy. In order to support victims of the tragedy, drawing ribbon was at least I could do.

Triangle invasion

Watercolor 

Abstract drawing that I just finished! It is about the invasion of vivid triangles in a square town. It is 18"x24" size big and I am going to make some prints out of it. It is second time for me to make some prints but still so excited thus it is first time for the big size! 

With mom

Watercolor

I recently finished this piece of art. It's called 'With Mom'. I was inspired by a Korean quilt exhibition that I saw in Seoul with my Mom. It was a cold winter day but my heart was warmer than ever because I was with her. I miss her so much!
