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 :)

 applied a little block filter  over the entire page scan -

Hara Hara Mahadeva !!

Hara Hara Mahadev !!

Some More ...

I was totally inspired to watch this VDO ( Link Here) & also hear the fantastic Soundtrack it has ( SAIL - Awolnation) , it got me pumped to pick a gel pen & sketchbook ... I watched it over & over again & sketched from memory WITHOUT any screenshots or pause frames .. each one taking a not more than a few minutes ..

Just wanted to S T R E T C H my mind & hands exactly with the same flow & rhythm the dancer has ! I Enjoyed every bit of it :) Hope you do too the actual VDO & my sketches as well .. :)

Prayers

Some paintings I had done with thought of 'warmth' .. in many of its forms.. waiting for sunlight after many gloomy days to the warmth of a simple honest prayer.. Had taken ref from a movie & extracted figures to build this piece ..
cheers :)

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

Happy Fathers day !

HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all fathers who are blessed with their own bundles of joy !
Mothers mostly get their due in many ways and are more prominent while fathers are mostly the silent & understated pillars of strength .. Salute to all Fathers .. including mine ! who i shouldn't miss this opportunity to say Thanks for everything & Love ya a lot !

What better day to share some quick sketches of my daughter ! 'Chiya' as she speaks her name in her sweet voice .. There are loads i have been doing while she does all kinds of things around ..
The sketches vary according to the haircut shes gets :P

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 !

Happy Mothers Day !

A tribute to all those fantastic, loving, caring, ever loving & incomparable 'MOTHERS' .. What a personality GOD has made . . Beyond words :)
Happy Mothers Day !

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 ;) !

HOT SHO(o)TS

Hope you enjoy the Pot shots :P !
