Description
I drew this as a favour for a Buddhist Priest and close friend, it's half of the border for a kungfu certificate. Ballpoint pen and a teenie bit of pencil shading by my friend. I wish he'd left it alone but it was out of my hands. The certificate came out awesome.Related content

Very inspiring.
Your whole gallery is really impressive, but I keep coming back to this one.
I admire your attention to detail and the consistent style of your rendering.
Fantastic work.

I love this version too! It looked awesome in green, but the shading is so much more obvious in this version!

Beautiful. I especially like the tiger and the detail in the plants is wonderful.

Beautiful. BTW, how do you get the smooth surfaces, like the big leaves, with pen?

Thank you so much!!! I was deeply inspired at the time and it just flowed, I don't know how else to explain it.

Thank you! I'm not a Buddhist per se but I totally agree with most of their philosophy. My friend the Buddhist allowed me the privilege of attending his ordination by an ancient Buddhist Master, it was an amazing ceremony with all the oriental trappings.

I like this a lot. I'm curious if you're familiar with the significance of the tiger and dragon in chinese (or asian in general...) mythology?? They seem to be recurring symbols..

Thanks! I'm a bit familiar with it, but my brains too foggy to recall at the moment.
