The Eight Auspicious Symbols: The Victory Banner

This one is inspired by Roman SPQR banners. Instead of an eagle I drew a vulture, representing Vulture Peak (a place where the Buddha gave teachings such as the Heart Sutra). Included are the colours of the five Buddha families, a wish-fulfilling gem and a laurel wreath.

I haven't dabbled in calligraphy much but I'd love to do more and get better at it! It's very satisfying.

I tried something new with this one. I saw a guy on instagram called johndrawing who uses an interesting combination of watercolours and coloured pencils. I tried to use his method in this piece but I'd need a few more attempts to get the process down the way I want.

Guru Rinpoche painted and gilded!

The gilding is just a gold finish and not proper gold leaf (It's expensive and it's my first time gilding).

Completed using liquid watercolours, gouache, pens and inks.

Finally finished this mirror painting! There’s not any super intentional symbolism behind it, I just did it because I thought it looked cool lol. Painted with acrylics so I have no idea how well it will hold up over time. Mirror was £4 from a charity shop, what a steal!

I wanted to sand the frame and re varnish it but right now I can’t be bothered. Thanks for looking ☺️

Some old experiments. I was cross referencing the Tibetan book of proportions with Andrew Loomis proportions. I think the happy medium is to be found in the statues

You can see here just how stylised the standard art proportions are. The chin and the top of the head of both images are pretty much aligned, but the Buddhas features are so low and squashed.
