autumn sketch

Yeah I decided that this week will be all about my sketchs so now I’m posting another entry with a sketch.

I really miss my hometown now T.T

I’m from Ha Noi, the capital of Viet Nam, in the North, and it’s like 2000 km far from HCM city. As the result, the weathers here and there are totally diffirent. In HCM city , you only have two types of weather, dry or wet, rain or not rain, while in Ha Noi, four seasons. Well it’s not that I don’t like HCM’s weather, actually I love it here, but because I’m in the mood of homesick, so just want to talk a little bit about that.

It’s gonna be autumn in Ha noi soon, usually from August I guess. And in autumn, the weather is really nice, it’s dry, and cool, and the scenes are really really beautiful, you can see yellow leaves falling all your way, and winds blowing your hair while you are walking. I love autumn the most and then winter among all seasons. However, what’s not good in autumn is that, with all the beautiful scenes, if you’re kind of sensitive people, you may feel somehow lonely and sad without any reason...

Oh maybe it’s too much just stop driving this entry too corny XD, what I wanted to say is that, with a mood of missing autumn, I have finished this sketch.


I draw this based on a movie poster I have seen somewhere (don't really remember ). The content of the movie has nothing to do with the meaning in this sketch. Just I by chance saw the poster, together with my own mood, I made this. And I name this "Autumn wind".

Well a while ago, I remember seeing somewhere people using metaphor to express what they want to show. For example, to represent the sky, instead of drawing clouds and sun , or moon and stars, a painter can simply draw only a bird in a big blank white paper. I want to try that too. In this example, I didn't draw wind, but I draw a girl whose hair flying and looking at a leaf falling from above. Wind is actually what did make her hair flies and the leaf falls. Thus, this sketch has been called "Autumn wind".
