My first time using a drawing tablet...I think I did well! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm also glad I could draw this character from a WebComic that I fell into an obsessive spiral about for a while. But yeah, I LOVE my new drawing tablet.

Summer Retreat, Yi Kui

Ninety days of staying put and yet one can  find moments of leisure, Trying to make out a tattered sutra, I read  under the light of the moon. Although I have ears, I hear nothing of the  dusty affairs of the world; A fragrant breeze slips through the door  as I think of the lofty sages.

Ashamed of my meager talents, I flee the  world to ancient streams, Nursing my illness, all day long I keep the double-shuttered gate closed. The vines and creepers grow thick and dense,  and no  one comes; Sometimes the forest birds and I discuss  methods of self-cultivation.

I watched unmoved as waves recede and Dharma  gates fall into disrepair, I draw a circle on the ground within which  I will hide myself away. Suddenly the summer begins to draw to  a close, and fall comes again; It is only recently that I have mastered the art  of being a complete fool.
