己所不欲,勿施於人。
"What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others." Nearly every religion claims the Golden Rule for themselves, but having to put a face on the most famous proverb, I'd have to go with Mr. Confucius. I hope he never draws me though...

i can picture Confucius looking just like that; he has that wise look to him. Its very nicely done :) and the development leading to the final *thumbs up* always love seeing how it came to be ^_^
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful to see the process, thank you!
ReplyDeleteCould it be though that Confucious looks a bit like you? :-)
hmmm...
ReplyDeleteI guess you COULD say that here, "I am drawing others as I would have myself be drawn". HA! ...I don't think I am anywhere near as wise though, unfortunately.
Richard -
ReplyDeleteYou are one very talented artist..Love your stuff!
The repetition and progression of your signature is really interesting and creates a very appropriate pattern in this piece. I think NUR is onto something here! I like how you've rendered his mustache and beard - the flat, squared-off wisps are infinitely intriguing. Bravo!
ReplyDeletenice, fine flow and color. Fun cookie on the head.
ReplyDeleteNice one Richard. I was Confucius for halloween one year, but everyone thought I was the cook from Bonanza! Great portrait!
ReplyDeletei really love this one. especially the texture for the background, really makes it feel as if this was painted on traditional chinese parchment paper.
