An illustration of the Malay tradition kite, called the Wau. Here i'm trying to show how the beautiful craft of the wau is slowly fading away through time as there are less and less people who are willing to take up the art of kite making.
as i was illustrating this piece and trying to capture the meticulous detailing of the kite, i came to understand the beauty of it and how each is meticulously crafted by hand by men who are passionate abt this craft. I am doing it digitally and already fine it difficult, imagine doing it by hand with a pencil and a crafting knife with no ctrl+z!? Respect indeed.
