How to make a Pyrography project of Hagia Sophia

-
inspired by this great building and its history, I tried to keep its memory through wood burning/pyrography art
I was in a trip to Istanbul in January and i was astonished by this monument
a turkish icon that can take your mind
i used color pencils to add life to the image
laying beside the bosphorus and surrounded by old architecture
looking at this mosque can take you back in time to the age of ottoman empire
please tell me your comments

How Obama was burned on wood

Image
I was touched by the success of Obama 4 years before as the first African American to reach the White House. Few months before he was able to repeat his triumph. His tweet " Another four years sky rocketed in twitter. I have no interest in politics, I am not an American after all. Yet i was inspired by the story of the man. In this project I used the Pyrography / wood burning to burn the Obama's face on the wood!! Funny as it sounds but i enjoyed it so much I recorded the steps from the copying of the face using carbon/graphite paper through the painting of the wood till finishing the piece. It took me two days to finish this piece. You can watch the video at: http://youtu.be/NHTfd2qVIB

How to start a Pyrography project of an Islamic pattern

In this two minutes video, I used the geometry and the Islamic art design to create the famous islamic Eight-pointed star on wood. Islamic decoration makes great use of geometric patterns which have developed over the centuries. Many of these derived from various earlier cultures: Greek, Roman,  Byzantine , Central Asian , and Persian. The shading in this piece was linear which is a very easy technique of shading. The design is easy once you got the idea. The lines can be burned easily by the help of a metal ruler.
