Dragonfly - とんぼ -

The word of dragonfly makes me recall one evening in my childhood, which I brought the net with me trying catch them ...it was the sunset time over the field. What memory do you guys have with dragonfly?
とんぼ、よく捕りましたよねぇ。夏休み最後のほう、小さな原っぱを思い出します。。皆さんはどんな思い出がありますか？眼は大きく、羽根は胴体の後ろについてます。ヘリコプターをイメージするとよく描けると思います。脚は膝が後ろに折れてます。
眼と口
眼は想像以上に大きいです。口も結構大きい。噛まれると痛いっす。
胴体
眼の後ろに、一度くびれてついています。これも大きい。眼よりもだいぶ盛り上がって描くと雰囲気がでます
羽
羽は胴体の後ろに付いてます。
止まっているときは、結構胴体の上に付いているイメージで。
羽の前の部分に、補強材のような筋がありますね。
羽の先端から描くといいんではないでしょうか。その際、筆先は尖らせないで、指で押しつぶします。紙に筆が付いたら一呼吸くらいしてから払う。胴体の上部分を目掛けて。
そうすると、羽先が少し濃くなって雰囲気いいかも。僕は、ヘリコプターをイメージしてます。
尾
これは枝を描くのと同じ要領で
脚
胴体と眼の間から出ています。フラミンゴとかトキのような一度後ろに曲がるような脚ですね。

Very beautiful work. My memory of dragonflies is one day when the weather north of us changed suddenly and became cold. A swarm of hundreds of thousands of dragonflies came to us all at once.

It looks so easy but it is pretty evident that this 'ease' is the result of both talent and countless hours of practice. A joy to watch such skill and the result it produces.

Beautiful! I used to let the dragonflies play around my fingers when I was young, I don´t know the last time I´ve seen a dragonfly...

In my country (Argentina) it is said they announce rain. And it often happens they appear on a very hot day and the next day, Voila! it rains. I love them!

I love to watch you paint! Your very talented!

[@qimissung]

Love it! It's beautiful. I do not have a memory to share, just that I love the small, winged, ephemeral creatures.

I remember a rock in a river shore, with tree leaves and acuatic plants and blue transparent dragonflies

[@pachiraaquatica471]

That's a really lovely story!

My grandfather used to say dragonflies would carry the souls of the dead on to heaven. After he died, the driveway was filled with thousands of dragonflies....My dad says it was so very eerie.

I really like your way. Thanks

My memory of dragonflies is that soon after I lost my son during pregnancy I saw this shadow of a dragonfly on the sidewalk ahead of me -- but when I looked up to see the creature I could not find him. It lead me write a poem about the loss of my son. I now have a tattoo of dragonfly and to me the represent free spirits and the beauty the was my son's life.
