April 22, 2016. Oil on canvas. 26 x 36″ In Taipei.

Goddess Vanice was a typical exercise for drawing student. The full female body was perfect in proportion and an amazing beautiful curvy object. 

It was not 100% difficult for me. I guessed I had improved a bit, making it an hands on task now.

The most memorable incident about this exercise was: I finally proved myself proficient. When I left my drawing idle I heard a senior student (20 years in this studio alone) asked around whether my work was a demonstration of Master Yim. That meaned my work was as good as the great master. I was flattered. And of course happy. Too good to be true.
