THANGKA DRAWINGS

Most of the things that looks simple are not always easy. This is the first step to introduction of painting. We all start with drawing Buddha face based on simple grid lines using measuring tools to get it as precise as possible and it always amazes me to see how every time the drawing looks little different and gets better each time!!

Starting with simple face we continue with the body and then adding robes and details. After drawing one deity comes the next and so on but the process remains same as the drawings are based on grids one needs to focus and be really precise while creating the drawings.

The process of painting looks more exciting and engaging at first but after making few paintings you realise how important drawing is! as it is the first step that contributes towards making a beautiful painting and even today

I find drawing more challenging than painting.
