Like other drawing enthusiasts heavily influenced by Japanese manga, I have been dreaming of becoming a manga artist for years. With all the love and hate stories, the only tools I’d ever had were pencils. As a school kid, I doodled on textbooks and exam papers, designed figures with personalities, costumed my characters, and armed them. I spent most of my middle school time creating women’s faces and immersed myself in the story of my own weaving. I didn’t color faces, nor did I draw bodies often. I had no color medium and knew nothing about body movements. I stopped… Read More »Watercolor: The Manga Style Young Lady
昨天经过书店的日漫区，竟然发现了被我称之为“如果小时候就拥有了现在说不定就是漫画家”的那种超可爱漫画式人体模型： 当场我将它称为“漫画作弊器”……哈哈，买回来以后摆动作摆得不亦乐乎，真的好玩。如果我少年时就能拥有这样的工具多好。那时候画仕女图最怕画动作，只会一直重复重复画脑袋，要不就是只能画简单单调的动作。 接着我又在亚马逊订了好几个类似的模型，有小孩子，有男人。要接着画下去才是，说不定到50岁我也可以画出好的漫画作品。总之，加油！…
I have been dreaming of a repeated scenario for years. In those dreams, I starved my small pets, like ducks, chicks, hamsters, and silkworms, by leaving them alone in cages for a long, long time. I have no idea why I didn’t put enough food or water, nor did I get home early. I haven’t seen any dead bodies, and animals just disappeared or shrunken. Some strongest individuals were still alive, and they even reproduced broods. But newborns were so tiny and deformed as they suffered malnutrition. I always woke up with deep regret and anxiety, and then I gradually… Read More »Don’t starve, I mean it.
十年前的夏天，我在科罗拉多州落基山国家公园山脚下的小镇里打暑假工。虽说地处山脚，小镇的海拔也有两千三百米高。记忆中那里的的夜空湛蓝如水墨，每当停下放工后匆匆赶路回宿舍的脚步，抬头望去，待眼睛适应黑暗，满目的星云璀璨总是密集的让人起鸡皮疙瘩。那时候我还没有一台正经相机，深夜星空也好，清晨高山湖泊飘荡的氤氲雾气也好，都没有办法记录下来。 十年后我计划着重返科罗拉多州，回到那个记录了我人生中一段悠闲美好青春富足时光的，被我笑称是「第二故乡」的地方。旅行计划中很重要的一环是拍照。为了拍好星空，我和华叔开始了拍摄练习。 今年入夏以后，我开始关注夜空状态。这个六月，有时候天空多云，有时候月亮升起太早，直到…
最近一直在纠结是否应该再买一台无反相机。三年前买的佳能M50，现在出门一般都是Aaron在用。如果人手一台，外出游玩两人都能拍，我就不至于拿个iPhone拍拍拍了。说到底iPhone所出之图，看个热闹很好，稍微仔细看两眼，那涂抹，那扁平，那过分的锐化……哎，还是过不了自己这关啊。 目前我主要是在佳能M6-2和R6之间徘徊。 M6-2我担心APS-C还是不够看。而且EF-M的镜头里要么是广角没有大光圈，要么大光圈没有广角，夏季夜晚就不好拍银河。而其他厂的镜头我又不了解。 R6则太贵，镜头更是无底洞。而且听说R7快要出来了，我还是保持观望比较好。 两者比来比去，期间我又给M50添置一枚等效35mm…
@ Twin City, MN —— Our school postponed all the architectural study trips during the Pandemic. Aaron and I were supposed to visit Chicago with 3rd-year students in 2021. This year we finally came to Twin City, MN, with 2nd-year. We had the same trip years ago in Fall, and this time we got a chance to appreciate the spring. The weather changed rapidly during the trip. It was a windy, wet, and cold welcome, as expected. But everything went according to plan. We visited all places and got warm receptions by almost every director/doorkeeper. I took some reference photos… Read More »2022 MN Study Trip
I reckon that painting with watercolor is much more convenient than using acrylic. I can grab the paint box and a brush, start painting in a second and never dirt my hands. Also, watercolor needs less deck space or palette space. My coffee tree is bearing now. One hundred whole beans are expected.
—— in 2020 —— The sun warms the earth as the ice melts. Bare twigs swing in the spring breeze, waiting for the first new buds. March is the best time for spring outings. The grass hasn’t sprouted yet, and we decided to have a half-hour road trip yesterday. Unlike big cities on the east and west coasts, Fargo has a sparse population. The whole country is fighting with the coronavirus while people here try to stay calm. When we drove by the streets, we saw people walking their dogs in threes and fours. We live in an apartment building… Read More »Life in Fargo 1
