That was stupid good. He did the whole body in one freaking brush stroke.

oh my! this is true art. but how can people dislike this??

Omfg 8 MINUTES?! I can barely finish a rough sketch in 8 minutes!! O_O

Japan's own Bob Ross.

Wow. It's awesome how he manipulated the brush like that.....I wish I was that skilled *^* But really. That looks awesome d:

I can only dream I have that level of skill one day.

I wish to buy a dragon from this man one day.

the technique for the body was amazing!! doing all those scales in one stroke!!! and the calligraphy is really cool as well!

WTF is that magical brush

You can do that with just one stroke?! (Body detail). Damn.

He gathered all the dragon balls without a doubt!

That wasn't art, it's MAGIC! The way the artist made dragon's body was simply brilliant!

I was smiling the entire time :D and took the painting with both hands because I was honoured to receive such a masterpiece :)

And suddenly I have a dire need to acquire such a masterpiece and hang it on my fucking wall.

That technique for the scales... wow O.O

3:49 wtf how the hell did that get created so effortlessly?!?!?!?!?! and fast?!?!?!

How he fuck do people do this , I tried to draw a tree yesterday and got so angry I had to lay down and count to 10.

O_O he has a fricken magic paint brush that paints the whole body! How the...

At a time when digital is everywhere, I can only stay admire such a demonstration. Beautiful and magical.

When I was 15 years old in the 1960s and visiting the Great Buddha Temple in Japan, I saw one of these artists creating dragons using this technique. I waited in line as the rest of the group (all much older than I was) went ahead. I stopped and watched and then stood in line so I could buy one. It cost about $2 in American money (the dollar was very strong, then) and took about four minutes to make. I had to wait another five minutes for it to dry. When I caught up with the group, the were angry that I'd delayed them - until they saw my dragon. None of them had even noticed the artist. I still have the painting, now framed and hanging in my living room. People who see it are always amazed, even before I tell them the story.

That is absolutely incredible! wow! That dude has got some talent!

Best 8 minutes of my life. 10/10 would buy.

At any time - no matter how many times he's drawn variations of this dragon - he could blow it. Especially when he's twisting the brush. There are moments when it looks like he's thinking what to do next, but it never seems to put him off his pace. That last little bit of calligraphy shows just how skilled he is with a brush. But the dragon's body and tail is a real showstopper - the brush itself is adding the details! Amazing.

A real treat to observe this masterpiece created in less than 9 minutes. Thank you for posting this.

How the hell in 8 minutes he mastered this is beyond me.

Wait wait wai, so you MET the guy? Hes everywhere on youtube, nice chance

This is why learning calligraphy can be so beneficial. He was able to create the body like that because learning calligraphy teaches you control. You learn how much pressure to use to create the effect and shape you desire. It's beautiful to watch.

The effect of watch this artist make this calligraphy and painting is so soothing.It flows in the painting itself and also shows an enormous amount of grace.

Ok seriously how did he draw that the brush is magic I swear

why would people dislike this this is awesome please teach me how!!!

Mind blowing how quickly that came together

Arrrrgh. So jealous! Not only is this amazing art but the calligraphy is flawless!!! Truly a beautiful work of art.

I love this :D I want to go to Japan even more now!

Sai ?

Blown away how he did the body and tail all in one stroke with all that detail of the scales! Amazing!!!!

I do not understand how this is humanly possible. That was amazing and the giant brush freaked me out every time XD

how he draw the body was like magic one swoop with details and all wtf???

Eight minutes... That's all it took, what can I do in eight minutes? Literally nothing

That body stroke technique he used is flipping awesome! It's incredible how that much detail was created like that!

The art is on the confidence with which he paints. Fluidity and precision in every stroke. Really amazing.

Amazing!

Does anyone know what kind of a brush this is? Not the small-detail one, the large one used for the body...

Holy crap this is amazing! They made the body so fast and it looks so good!

he's obviously following a formula, but he's spent years mastering and perfecting his version of that formula.

Flagged. This person is NOT a dragon.

How...??

I was shaking my head through the whole video...I can't believe he just did that! :D Amazing! Must have taken years to practice!

Those brushes are simply amazing, wow you know when you have mastered a tool.

Steps to paint a dragon Step 1 : Be asian Step 2 : Repeat step 1

His technique for creating the scaled body is amazing! Ive been an artist for decades but that just blew my mind.

this is amazing. the man clearly loves his art. (i would think) puts a smile on my face, anyhow.

The fact that he did the entire body in less than a minute just completely blows my mind.

The confidence in her brushstrokes is just amazing...

Wow, I love the way he staggers the brush to create the dragon's scales.

so amazing ... just the brushes and the colors !! .. WOW

i must find this man and learn from him. the detail in the body leading to the tail. the scales, whiskers, lettering....my god this man is amazing. i have to have a few of his pieces in my house!

That is one freaking awesome dragon painting ~!

Breathtakingly gorgeous and beautiful! Just.. Wow!

Wow, that brush stroke for the body was awesome. If I ever learn to paint, I'd love to learn exactly how he did that.

That has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life.

For those asking how she did the body in one stroke, it has to do with the way she loaded the brush with ink and the pressure she used to apply it to the paper. She's using Sumi ink. If you watch from 3:30 - 3:40, you can see her hand pushing down and putting pressure on the brush. That's what gives the dragon the scaled texture.

he did that in less than 10 minutes? this detailed? omfg this precision is just incredibly amazing D: wow...

This is beautiful. What quick skill!

When you see something unique but your camera is crap....(no offense, seriously, maybe is also because this is from 2010) but the skill of this artist is impressive.... everything seems to be done with just the proper inking of the brush and a single gesture at a time (plus the blowing)....I felt well just by looking at him doing this!

Only the Japanese can make art look so graceful!

om jesus! I've never seen that technique to draw the body before! no wonder it always looks so flawless! xD this guy is too pro!

I can't believe this was done in 8 minutes....... Speechless

WOW!!!! that is just absolutely amazing!!!!! I want one :), can't wait to go to Japan

This is absolutely amazing

Such amazing for such a short period of time!

Japanese artists are some of the most dedicated and disinclined artists around . They're techniques are insane lol

And every time he did something new i just thought 'nooo stop its perfect, dont ruin it' and every time it just got more awesome.

welcome to the joy of painting dragons, we're just gonna lay down a few brush strokes here and just like that, instant scales.

That is absolutely stunning...

There is no way I just watched someone paint the most amazing dragon ever in less than 10 minits!

wow, this is soooo amazing. hes reallly great.... i see someone else video tapped him doing another one. they found the same person... hes deff got a LOT of talent..... thanks soo much for sharing....

This is amazing! anyone notice how he drew the scales by jerking his hand as he made the stroke!? Outstanding skill and show of control!

for by scales, one has been measured by bueaty, for it tis not how the dragon looks by cultures, it is how one espresses there mind and feelings.- Kathryn 2015

i like to say that you are a fantastic artist omfg. Ill buy that dragon, the problem is, its obviously gone by now. Fantastic work, even the writing looks phonominal

One stroke and he made the body with scales and a top and bottom side. BLEW MY MIND!!

The subtlety of the way he paints makes me feel so light weighted :O

That was frecking amazing! I just got a japanese calligraphy set, and I hope to be able to do this one day!!!

Truly amazing, very talented artist.

This is so beautiful.

I'm blown away. I love how Eastern cultures like Japanese and Chinese can take regular practices and make it spiritual in a way. Things like pouring tea and painting are in themselves "martial arts". It isn't just about getting it done, it's about HOW it is done. I love that.

Such talent! Wonderful. So beautiful.

So.. It is now proven that you can draw something awesome on 8-9 min. Right now I am ashamed to be a digital artist 20+ hours to make something like that ! Great job man!

that dragons body! and scales! MIND BLOWING!

Oh my god! That is amazing! The way he does the body! :D

beautiful,its the most beautiful thing I have ever seen

Watching something so beautiful being painted so quickly makes me feel like I'm watching a miracle :P

Absolutely beautiful

That drawing is AWESOME

A piece of art made in ~8minutes. Awesome.

Eye were like O_O after he did the body. Great job!

That was truly amazing. "Watch me do the entire textured body with this one continuous brush stroke."

This was just beautiful

I LOVE JAPAN!!! THAT WAS SO AWESOME!!!! (Dies of amazement)

Holy shit! That is crazy. Very impressive in my book.

The awesomeness is to great in this one. This message will (not really) implode in 14.7 seconds
