More sketches

Elephant sketches

Sketching elephants at 6.30 in the morning can be fun, but not so much fun once you're done and just want to crawl back into your bed and sleep instead of attending class :P

Sketches

Morning Sketching at Old City in Ahmedabad, near Teen Darwaza, at the famous Jama Masjid.

I hate 3D!

I hate modelling in 3d softwares!!! Why does my super simple lego man take me more time than the other who seem to be constructing the Vitruvian Man, complete with perfect costume, and with complete success!!! :(

Thinking aloud...

Just introspection...

Self Portrait

Just a doodle of myself...

Illustration Friday- Immovable

Finally I have moved my posterior, shaken the cobwebs out of my brushes, and painted something!

Its this week's illustration friday topic- Immovable.

Random..

Some weird compositions i had tired out for an assignment misunderstood  :P

Yes that is Tyra banks ;)

The first one was done directly on Photoshop, and the second all from different images on the net with a little bit of rain added in PS.

As the Semester draws to a close..

It is 11th of March..
Not a famous date, at least not that I can remember.
But the just a month away awaits the summer holidays, home, free time, etc etc.
A year in Nid has gone by so quickly, and it seems like it was just yesterday that I had come here for interviews and studio tests. So much has happened, so much that I expected, so much I never did, things learnt, some unlearned, so much gained, so much more lost.
Has it been a fruitful year? I find it difficult to answer that question. No doubt I have learnt a lot here, but have I put it to any use? I don't think so, not yet. I sit here on my blog when there a million other things i should be doing, much more that I should have done, and said.
So many new people in my life now, yet i miss the old ones the same, these holidays yet again I will make the resolution to keep in touch, and I know that most probably this year too it will be broken, even though i have more people to keep in touch with.
Once again I make the resolution to do something useful in the vacations, and yet the suspicion remains that nothing will come out of it, nothing has for the past three years!
Life revamping is in order, long overdue infact, maybe this is the lucky year?
Here's hoping for a better month, atleast what is left of it, and a better life.

*Crossed Fingers*

Too much redness!

Valentine's Day is a sham! All the commercialization, the flowers, the cards, the cupids! Too much!

Where has the meaning gone?

Cats and Rainbows

2 more drawings done!

Thats 'Rainbow', which immediately led me to think of a greedy little leprechaun with his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, 

and, 'Cats'.. just loads of Black and White Cats! :) this one took me some time to think of so many cats but I liked the final output, though it was not exactly what I had envisioned.
