The Museum of Anthropology has an exhibit called “Shadows, Strings and Other Things” and I saw it today. It’s full of traditional puppets from around the world including a few from Myanmar. I did a quick sketch of one called “Magician”. It was the expression on his face that was so appealing; a sort of wide eyed wonder. Perhaps he is amazed by his magical abilities. Plus his mustache looked like a very whiskery cat’s.

The whole exhibit is dimly lit, so detail-wise, this little sketch is a bit weak, which is probably a good thing as I get a little detail obsessed drawing-wise.
