Pencak Silat, The Truly Indonesia

Pencak Silat, the original martial art from Indonesia.

The ancestors of Indonesian created a form of defense technique of their family and group against the wild of nature. They composed a martial art style which reflecting animals manner like monkey, tiger, snake or eagle.

The spreading of silat in early age still unknown clearly. Maybe started since 700 AD, when major kingdomat that era  like Sriwijaya or Majapahit. It mentioned, they once have a great era of silat warriors.

I dedicate this sketch for my brother Bayu, he admiring martial arts for entire of his life. He loves to watching kung fu movie, he once bought some books about shaolin kungfu in childhood.

And of course, he is a silat warrior now.

  1. Hi,

    Thank you for visiting my blog, I have come to see your blog and your lovely drawings!

    There is great promise in your work, and my advice to you in order for you to keep on improving is to allow greater movement in your drawing, when drawing an interior imagine that all the pieces of furniture and objects are linked in some way, so that you can make lines that flow from one object to another. This will allow your work to have greater fluency, and will make the drawings work as a whole a little more. It will increase the dynamism of the work. Your drawing is very sensitive and beautiful and I look forward to seeing more of it! Good luck and best wishes, Lisa

    1. Hello Lisa,

      Thank you very much for your appreciations. I hope you can give some advice more frequently on my drawings in forward. Yes, actually i thinking about the same thing. But, badly i'm not so good in perspective and shading, so i find it difficult to put any object or background. Can you give me some references about these matters?

      Thanks and best regards, Pandu Wijanarko
