Sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is of an old wooden Abacus. The original calculator. This used to fascinate me as a child. Many shops used this but it’s something very rarely used these days.

I realize that. 🙂

I sleep late every night 😆

Hope you had a few good nights since then. 🙂
August 2, 2015 at 05:01
Yes you must!!!

They certainly are–if I come across one, I may just purchase it 🙂

Well it’s 230am. And yes bedtime for me! Good night 😵😴

You are what? GMT + 7 or 8? You’re right, you should go to bed. 🙂 Good night. Sweet dreams. 🙂

No my day is over and I’m about to go to zzzzz
July 31, 2015 at 18:26
This is practically chatting real time. The only thing is that my day is almost over and yours is about to begin. 🙂
July 31, 2015 at 18:22
Practically gone. I hardly ever see one these days 😔
July 31, 2015 at 18:14
I found it fascinating how fast the old people could use it. Another – soon to be – lost art. 😦
July 31, 2015 at 02:54
Yes that’s the one!! I’m always in awe of them
July 30, 2015 at 18:34
I never learned how to use one, but I remember, still a few years ago, in chinese restaurants, the owner would use it at lightning speed! 🙂
July 29, 2015 at 16:13
Thank you. Good effort on your part to learn. I just managed to wonder and gaze with open eyes and mouth 😆
July 29, 2015 at 16:00
They are wonderful devices aren’t they?
July 29, 2015 at 02:56
They use to use them in China when I first went there, and I was so intrigued by them and even learned how to use one (which made me respect the people who could whip out calculations with them!). Nice drawing ~ looks so real and historical.
July 29, 2015 at 02:21
I remember these from my childhood! Love the drawing 🙂
July 26, 2015 at 02:48
Yes i find it impressive to watch people use them. Amazing for sure x
July 25, 2015 at 17:56
I never knew how to use these, possibly only the first 2 columns.
It’s fascinating how ppl can use these and be superfast and accurate!
July 25, 2015 at 15:14
That’s exactly how I feel 🙌
July 25, 2015 at 15:14
I guess the more I like something the better I draw them x
July 25, 2015 at 15:13
That is precious! I don’t have one but I remember them so clearly. They used it in the old Chinese medicine shops still 😄

I’ve always wanted an abacus. Just to mess around with. It looks so cool when people can use them.
July 25, 2015 at 14:29
Real nice depth and value treatment on this piece – shows the pieces off beautifully.

I still have an abacus which my father bought for me (almost half a century ago now that I think about it). Every part is made of bamboo.
