ZAO CAO part 2: revenge of Wednesday

Today’s ZAO CAO drawing is brought to you by the lovely Alice X. Zhang @alicexz and her Legend of Korra fanart portrait.

Full disclosure: I started this portrait in the 5 minute break between class 1 and 2 and continued in the zao cao 15 minute break between class 2 and 3

Total time: 20 minutes Medium: 13 markers bought at super market Soundtrack: Communism cardio

Is mine perfect? LORD NO. But it’s all about the fun of figuring out what I can do with 13 markers in 15+ minutes.

Here is Alice X. Zhang’s beautiful version that I copied and you can see the full sized image at this link to her tumblr: http://alicexz.tumblr.com/post/8573747743/finished-legend-of-korra-painting-based-on-the

So every day at the middle school the students have a morning excercise a break period that it 15 minutes long, where they all run outside to line up with their class and do aerobics to the voice of a Chinese man energetically counting to some sort of Latin inspired bull fighting ring music.

It’s called: ZAO CAO 早操

So during this last period of zao cao I decided to use the markers I had on hand to make student name tags to draw, and why not Elsa who I had a picture of on my phone?

15 minutes later, this was our result.

Is it perfect? Far from it. Is it pretty darn good for 15 minutes drawn directly with marker? You bet your [expletive of choice] hat it is!

So I bring you a new tradition for Wednesdays and Fridays: ZAO CAO DRAWINGS
