Day 12 of 21: Boy's Day doll
We've had this Japanese warrior doll in our family for as long as I can remember. It's usually set out on Boy's Day, which falls on May 5th every year. It's supposed to teach boys about strength and ward off evil. I dunno, with a warrior outfit like that, a boy would HAVE to be pretty strong to fend off other boys who just wanna kick his butt.

I agree....rather elaborate outfit for a manly man! Very nice rendering, though! I always enjoy your graphite work.
Hehe, I know! Thanks Kate!
holy cow! your drawing is SO AWESOME! The detail you put into your work is just amazing! sorry I'm so slow at posting comments... I've been admiring your work on the moleskine projects! =)
I wonder how big the warrior doll is! I am digging how detailed you rendered it.

Thanks Jennifer! Oh, please don't apologize about commenting! I'm just glad you stop by from time to time!!! :)
France ... Thanks! Hmm, the doll is about 9" tall and my drawing is about 6"x6". Dang, Japanese kimono fabric is just too detailed! I dunno if I'll try that again!
Andrea ... Thanks! You are exactly as I had imagined ... a sweetie that we have come to know and love through your blog ... with a beautiful accent and voice! :)
