Patience - part II


I was flipping through an older sketchbook for stuff to rework when I found this. I copied it out of a book about Thai painting (ND 1021 B64, page 31, as noted). Some nice lacquer work in there if anyone finds it.

The drawing itself though reminded me of how oddly patient I was with it even though it was done in pencil, taking a couple of hours. It's much more graphic than anything else I've done: flat, stylized, but elaborate. Haven't drawn anything like it since. But seeing it again now, I'd really like to do similar work with watercolor or ink. If I ever gain proper control over the two, anyway.
