Although French Open is done, Wimbledon is coming up, just around the corner! I have been on a figural drawing kick lately. In art, it’s good to keep loose with pencil. My sketch shows a player, hustling fast to make a swinging a two-handed backhand.

The French Open comes to a close this weekend. For the women, I am rooting for Simona Halep because she’s been working so hard for so long. And this is the farthest she has reached in a major. On the men’s side, I hope Nadal wins the final. He is after all the king of clay.

The Australian Open had both awesome Men’s and Ladies’ finals. The Williams sisters faced each other again, like old times. And the veteran Men favorites, Nadal and Federer battled in a nail biting 5-setter. Those classic match ups may never happen again.
Being in the cold Northeast, I look forward to the tennis event from down under because I get cabin fever this time of year, in frigid Januaries, and that warm Aussie sun seems to shine through my TV screen and warm up my living room. You can also say, it is my superbowl.

For the long holiday weekend, I’ve been glued to the telly, watching Wimbledon, and playing tennis and grilling. I gave myself sometime to do a sketch of a tennis player, swinging a forehand winner with extra of topspin.
How are you enjoying this holiday?
Happy Fourth of July, all!

My sketch today shows the fluid motion of a golf swing.
It is inspired by Jordan Spieth for winning two majors in the same year. Not only that. He was also the youngest player at 21 to win both since Bobby Jones in 1923. This past weekend Jordan won the US Open golf tournament in Washington state which was quite an achievement given the Mars-like terrain they were playing on, dry and barren.

This is my figural drawing of a two-handed backhand stance, arms pulled back, ready to thrust forward to hit the ball cross court.
Mark your calendar, tennis fans, the Australian Open is coming. The sport event is happening from January 19 to February 1.

This drawing of mine is inspired by the recent Ladies US Open Golf Tournament. Congrats to Michelle Wie. This is her first major LPGA title.
