Keep studying 'n Keep Sketching !

Hi .. posting a study sketch for a very interestingly lit corner .. worth calling a COZY corner for the inviting feeling ! did this from a photograph in a mag (about 20 mins) .. they are great sources for sketching .. be it places, lighting, people, fashion, fabrics etc..
Cheers all !

Bak to digital concepts !

Darkness & fireflies (part2) !

Hi all ,
Posting artworks done for a book of poems " KAALOKH KAAJVE" by my aunt Sau.Jayashree pathak. Also you can savour the short poems. This was the reason for earlier post as we had driven down to Nasik for the launch of the book. I was glad to get an opportunity to display some of the artworks there. More of sketches with inks & washes is what I did.. just to keep the expressive feel intact & supplement the lovely poems!
hope you like them !
Cheers :)

Travelogue

Hi ..these are impressions of an amazing Natures Lasers Show we(me + 5) experienced while driving on highway from Nasik to Pune on sunday evening. It was a tedious and slow drive with very less visibility & average road laced with streaks of bright lights !
One of the most spectacular lightnings ive seen that lasted for almost 2 hrs surprisingly without much thunder & heavy rains !
I Had to let it out visually hence this post ..
Cheers !

some Illustrations styles explored !

Hey all !
getting positive responses from peers & especially superiors is really a booster ! so keeping up the spirits high & posting some more .. these were some samples for style exploration for illustrated books .. I was playing more with block shapes &, lighting...and obviously textures ( which i love to play with all the time) .. hope u like em..
cheers !

For the love of trees !!

What you see & feel !

Hi all
wanted to share this dearly ! I had a chance to go for outdoor sketching & painting with students of Symbiosis design school to the lush campus of PUNE univ. A scorching day @ 39-40 deg. Yet under the massive banyan trees felt nothing. Such was the cool shade & the breeze. The task was to draw , sketch paint what you see .. I wanted to draw what I saw but ended up drawing what I felt as the feeling was much stronger , peaceful & beyond !
Also ended up doing quite a few sketches which Ill update soon. What a nice little refreshing trip it was , felt a bit guilty for not doing such sketching+painting trips often .. Would really like to get away from those Monitors & go out in lap of nature more frequently ! hopefully I will ...

for Peace :)

For a few sketches more ..

All mixed... sketches + digital + watercolors some of my confusions & scribbles & thoughts n more.. cheers ! .....hic !

Let the Music heal your Soul !

What started as a casual sketch from a photograph .. while tasting some music ..played with water colors .. Feels good to go back to more tangible medium & take a break from digitals.
Was fun & quite enjoyed myself ! hope you enjoy too
have a colorful weekend !

Why hurry !

Hi all...

yup this post comes pretty quickly since the last but had to share it with all. Theres this blog 'zen habits' rather an amazing one which ive been following for quite long. I read this post last night about ' HOW NOT TO HURRY '.. made me pause & think & rethink .. for all around us in this zipping world this made me hit the pause button .. sitback, zoom out & just enjoy the view (& everything) .. and so i did starting from where I was .. a highly recommended read !
so once in a while just sit back, grab a beer ... relax & savor all !
cheers !
