I am sure other artist or critics could make valuable remarks about my drawing. I  have been drawing for years and I have not had a formal training. I draw by what I feel. The emotion of the heart. I do try very hard to use correct anatomy and perspective.  I try to use good design and layout for my composition. I do not complete the entire drawing for a reason. I want the viewer to look and finish those areas that are open for themselves. You might call it an interactive way of viewing. This idea needs to be worked more. In some drawings it works well adding to the emotion or drama of the idea.
   In the following drawings I was wanting to do one things. To express my heart and emotion  What I feel for the Love of my life. There are drawing mistakes in  construction perspective and shading but the overall idea and feeling works.

Bed of Roses

 

There is much I like about this drawing. For me it captures her expression and there is life her eyes. When I was shooting picture of her laying down I saw this at that moment. Her beauty surrounded by flowers. I had always given her white roses. It is our Love of nature that I decided to use the white rose among other reasons. I could have put more in the drawing but I felt less was more.

      

 

A Breath Away

 

I was after that moment just before a kiss. When you are so close and everything between you is shared without words

Eyes meet and the many warm moments shared flows in your heart.

I wanted to use the idea of light and dark. For me She is Spring, light, warm, fresh and always in bloom, I represent the dark. In shadows discovering her warmth and wanting to step out of the  dark into her light. Embraced together where  everything is possible.

The difficulty in this drawing is that you are focused on the light and you may lose sight of the embrace. You can see the figures of me but you may not understand that her arm is around my neck. I may have made the focus to close.

                                                                 The Many Faces of My Love Haruna
The reason for my journey to Japan. The reason for my life. This is a pencil drawing of different moments I remember.
I am happy with many of these but because of the angle some are not quite what I wanted to achieve. I feel that they all look like her, but they could be better. I was after her expression.
