Mekare's Wuxia Art
Wuxia as a genre is immensely inspiring to me. I enjoy a good fight choreography and the wirework in films is something that fascinated me from the first time I saw it. A couple of recommendations:
- A Touch of Zen (King Hu, 1971)
- Ashes of Time (Wong Kar-Wai, 1994)
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Ang Lee, 2000)
- Hero (Zhang Yimou, 2002)
- House of Flying Daggers (Zhang Yimou, 2004)
- Curse of the Golden Flower (Zhang Yimou, 2006)
- Series: Ancient Detective (2020) (wuxia+crime/mystery)
- Series: Word of Honour (2021) (wuxia+crime/mystery+romance)
- Series: Mysterious Lotus Casebook (2023) (wuxia+crime/mystery)
Wuxia ladies project
In 2024 the Drawesome community issued a "No Erase" challenge. Since I was on a trip of drawing more female characters, I chose to draw some wuxia ladies from films I've seen. All these were drawn in ink, no prior pencil sketch. Some of them were cleaned up (double chin line for example), but most of them were left as is.
