Manjusri

 

Manjusri pencil sketches. Day 1.

This Manjusri thangka which i have started drawing is modeled after  Situ Panchen's Manjusri 

which is part of his Eight Bodhisattva series.  This particular thangka by Situ Panchen (18th century) is one of my favourites as it is the most elegant I have ever seen.

(Tib. Lhamo Gyutrulma)

This is a preliminary sketch for a 60 cm x 40 cm thangka. It was a bit challenging composing the drawing,
as this scene on its own is not commonly a subject for thangka, but is usually found on temple wall paintings
as part of the Buddha's life story. It may take a month or so before this thangka is completed.
