Wow, amazing. I've been blogging for these 2 years. Thank you for cheers. Soon, they'll remove the stitches from my hand. Ah, I wanna say, "Dr, set me free!" Hopefully, I can update the blog Monday like before. Thank you for patience.
I sketched the fast food shop one day after the surgery. Really lovely to see my right hand work smoothly. Even though still the hand is weak, it gets stronger day by day, step by step.Now, I've got back on the illustration project. I've done many "double spreads"(=*2 page scene in a picture book).
Hectic.I keep on sketching between illustrations. Sketching our daily life makes me think of life. I want to capture snap shots of our daily life.
Finally, the wonderful singer has gone back to a heaven. I've been her big fan. Often my colleagues would tease at me, saying, "When Sadami hears this song, "Step by Step," she gets excited."Well, we have many troubles in a job place, family business etc. This song has always cheered me up at tough times.
I'd pass on this song, "Step by Step" to anyone facing difficulties. Have a listen of this song. Slow, but steady steps lead us into hope and a bright future.
Say it, Baby, don't give up.
You got to hold on to what you got.
Oh, Baby, don't give up.
You got to keep on moving on don't stop (yeah yeah).
I know you're hurting, and I know you're blue.
I know you're hurting but don't let the bad things get to you.
You got to hold on to what you got.
Oh, Baby, don't give up.
You got to keep on moving on don't stop (yeah yeah).
I know you're hurting, and I know you're blue.
I know you're hurting but don't let the bad things get to you.
Never give up, Friends. And please remember you're not alone!Don't lose your heart.
Com'on Baby, keep going!
Happy Painting!!
What a beautiful sketch of Whitney! I've just been listening to a tribute to her. We'll miss new songs coming from that beautiful voice.
ReplyDeleteAnd i'm so excited you are about to be stitch free. ..... Elva
さだみさんへ
ReplyDelete悲しい最後でしたね。
まあ、ひとつの才能が消えました。
すばらしい歌声で、わたしＣＤもってます。
こんな声で歌えたら気持ちいいだろうナーといつも思ったものです。人の人生ってわからないもの。1日1日を楽しまないととおもいます。
手のほうは、つかったほうがいいそうで、よかったわね。
いまから、絵の具買いにドバイにいくざます。
135キロ離れたところにしか絵の具売ってないというのは、どうしたものか。ネットでとおもったけど、
画材屋さんをうろうろすると、楽しいもんで。
Happy blogversary and happy Valentine's day, Sadami! I'm glad your hand is on the mend! Your sketches are great as always!
ReplyDeleteDear Elva,
ReplyDeleteThank you! You, too, take care. Your posts and drawings are wonderful. Keep up! Talk to you soon.
Cheers,Sadami
Love your tribute to Whitney, another who succumbed to the pressures of stardom.
ReplyDeleteHope the removal of your 'hand embroidery' goes well. Carole
Yahoo, HaniHani,
ReplyDelete私も同感で、お互い1日1日を悔いなく、精一杯生きましょうネ。
ん、まあ、遠路はるばるざますね。が、画材屋さんで私もウットリとする性質ざます。すばらしい遊園地だわ。だけんさあ、私、年二回のバーゲンでまとめ買いするので、日頃はフレーミングの折覗いて, 面白い材料と本を楽しみます。
なお、病院のセンセ達,いたく私のスケッチを気に入ってくれて楽しいワ。Tomorrow, they'll remove my stiches. Yey!!
Cheers,Sadami

Hi Sadami, I like your wonderful tribute to Whitney, fantastic singer and unfortunate woman. Happy to know that your hand is getting better. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog-versary :) I love your whitney houston sketch !and I admire your discipline about sketching all the time! I am trying but unfortunately I end up going for days with no sketching :( wish you easy pain free stiches removal and more happy sketching!
ReplyDeleteHi,Tito,
ReplyDeleteThank you! You're always caring for artists, especially, unknown people like me. Tomorrow, they'll remove my stiches.
Hugs! Sadami
Happy Blogger-versary!!! And many more to tome, I'm sure. These are wonderful sketches today and what a great song to share to uplift those around you :) What a sad thing fame can be for those who can't say no to all the temptations that life brings - this is a wonderful sketch of Whitney and, in it, she is singing and happy.
ReplyDeleteHi,Meeraʚ(ˆ◡ˆ)ɞ ,
ReplyDeleteThank you! "All the time sketching" is quite simple and effective to improve drawing skills. Try daily sketch for a few minutes(eg, 5 minutes. No longer. Whatever finish or not, stop it in 5 minutes). Gradually, your hand moves quicker and better. Like the song, step by step, little by little.
BTW, tomorrow, doctors will remove my stiches! Yey!
Cheers,Sadami
Happy anniversary and keep on going Sadami!
ReplyDeleteHi,Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteThank you! Very happy to know we can share the song and you've enjoyed my sketches. Tomorrow, doctors will remove my stiches. You, too, take care of yourself. I always think of you, Rhonda.
Kind regards, Sadami
