Its Great to have people contact you for a style that you intrinsically develop & follow as a personal sketching style. This is one that began as " sketch without lifting the pen - spontaneously " ..

I did those Sketchy Illustrations for a real estate company Panchshil Builders in Pune for their massive commercial project BUSINESS Bay Branding . Those are to be used for various branding parallels.

This was fun sketching lot of activities in a city life & splashing a bit of color here & there..

Happy 2013 !

Black & White

Playing with Black & White .. inks markers & washes... creating spaces.. or more aptly, putting down Mindspaces :)

Calendar 2012

Hi Posting The Complete Set of Illustrations done for calendar for the Real Estate Giant ABIL , Pune
While This is a Simple & quick Layout I have done as I wasn't completely in agreement the final layout that went ahead ( clients are sometimes difficult ) Though they were fairly liberal in terms of the illustrations & styling ( a rarity to be appreciated )  .. But anyways posting my version ..
Hope you all like it.. Cheers :)

Some more Fashion Sketches !

Hi all ,
Posting a few more Fashion Illustrations , that i did for a client in Pune. Will post the final set of Illos I did ... this is in continuation from my earlier post LINK-HERE Had a really good time doing those in pencil & charcoal & then touching up digitally ! njoi

Sketches .. with a style ..

Hi
This started as rapid sketches on A3 Sheets with charcoal .. by taking refs from random fashion images from google & some magazines lying around .. later reworked on painter & PS with Dry media 7 Charcoal brushes to make up a pitch for Calendar Design ..

Enjoyed while i played around :)
CHEERS

Some more !

.. Contd from earlier post !
cheers

Sketchy sessions

While conducting a module @ the MIT Design Institute, PUNE for pre-production design & digital methods, it used be great fun to start the day with gesture sketches.. really quick ones.. timed to about 30-40 secs .. here are some of the ones done of the students sketching .. while I have never been one who was into figure sketching but i must say this is really enjoyable & liberating.. it sets the ball rolling for the day ..

I usually try not to lift the pen to capture the gesture in a continuous flow of line .. then later on work on with a marker .. one of the techniques i came across in a book .. it also helps observing the pose very carefully & then draw fast without looking at in again after every stroke ..

cheers !

Some brushes to explore!

Hi posting a few explorations with verry good watercolor brushes that I found for PS CS4!
Was pretty happy with playing with those on canvas textures .. very interesting randomness in the B&W textures that I got within the brushes.. Its good to try & simulate the actual manual colors & ink behavior in the digital form :)
Cheers ;) !

India authentic !

A long pending post.. sharing an illustration I did for O&M, Mumbai for their website http://www.beidiotsafe.com . This is a compilation I made of those individual char illustrations it was used for an interesting online flash based app. Cheers & gear up for the years ending !

Wash away !

Hi
have been listening to some p songs off late..sketching along.. this one was called " WASH AWAY " by joe purdy.. simple & easy lyrics with nice guitar. Had heard this song as an OST of series LOST ( what a lovely one that was ), so sketched from one of his photos there as I savoured the song & lyrics. hope you do too!
Cheers
