when i started drawing, my old friend told me that i should give up to dream becoming an artist.
one day i was drawing a beautiful girl at a cheep hotel in Singapore, one bystander asked me “how much?”
so i replied “it is free.”
he said to me,” i asked you how much you pay for model”.
i laughed lots.

I can appreciate this one in that this is a hard angle for me to do a portrait. You however do it beautifully. Nice work Hidemi.
Hidemi Tada replied
no, this is not good. as you said this angle is very difficult and i couldn’t catch her beauty perfectly. she looks little bit idiot here. i have to change som point but i can’t find it now. thank you Jim.
Hidemi Tada replied
now i changed her little bit and i believe it became much better.

It’s Tahnja. Beautiful capture of a beautiful lady! Very funny story too, did you still give him the drawing or did he even want it?
Hidemi Tada replied
he didn’t ask me to draw him. you can see the reason if you saw my early time drawing. it was awful, then i practiced and practiced. i drew more than 3,000 people over the world. i have lots of funny story. i show you later. thank you for coming and nice comment MoonSpiral. i love the song titled”moon river”.

Hidemi Tada replied

Hidemi Tada replied

Hidemi Tada replied
I changed you little bit and believe it became much better.
Tahnja
oh and yes, I had to laugh at the story you told too, I love funny stories like that, do share more with us when you have time Hidemi. Your English is improving all the time :o)
Hidemi Tada replied
thank you Tahnja. i will write funny story each time when i will post new work. My English is still not enough to write a book. i am writing now in my Japanese blog titled ” how to be happy”. it is a pity we cant share that writing. it will be 300 pages.
