I’ve spent 1 hour on this artwork using mainly white pencil on the black sketchbook. This is an entry for the Future drawing contest hosted by @helene.
With the abstract theme Future, it has been the hardest topic I ever encountered so far after participating in so many contests in Steemit. I once wanted to draw something about blockchain or bitcoin cause I believe they will be the next big thing. However, I could not think of a better way to illustrate this idea in a single picture.
Dandelion is my perfect candidate to outline the theme. The seeds were together in the mother dandelion before they were carried away by the wind to the meadow. They would be separated and independent of each other ever since. What would be ahead of them? A thunderstorm or warm sunny day? Which one of them could manage to settle down on a fecund soil to grow up as another dandelion and breed more child, or just being struck down by the rain onto the merciless pavement?
Unknown factors spell very well for the Future.
The future is unpredictable for the dandelion seed, as well as for the people.
此作品花了一个小时来完成，主要使用白铅笔在黑画本上作业。这同时也是以未来为主题的绘画比赛作品，由 @helene 举办。
未来这个主题是我在这里参加绘画比赛以来最难的。曾经想过使用比特币和区块链来代表这主题，但是没有什么好想法可以在一张图画里简单的表述，后来就想到了蒲公英。
蒲公英的种子们本来都是聚集在一块一起长大。成熟以后一阵风就把它们统统吹散，分离，随着那风飘向遥远的他乡。远离了久居的母体，它们不再是一体的，今后必须独自去面对将来的一切。在前方等待的会是什么，暴风雨还是太阳天？哪一个最终将成功降落在肥沃的土壤，然后成长了在孕育出更多的小种子？哪一个又会被大雨无情的拍打跌落来冷冰冰的马路上？
未知对我来说，正是诠释未来的最好因素。
未来于蒲公英充满未知之数，于人，亦复如是。
