The Wedding

Here is a sketch of mine that I drew somewhere in the middle of last year. After Hansika, this again was drawn on a A1 size sheet and it was pretty difficult to maintain the isometric proportions in the picture. I loved the mood in the original picture and bride's neatly combed hair with lillies on her head, her gentle smile and the angle of light falling on the grooms head making it shiny. The couple in foreground with the backdrop of flowers behind (which I have made blurred) to increase the depth of field of the object in focus was an another challenging task to make.
Please leave me your feedback below. Thanks.

L'innocence

It took more than a month for me to draw this sketch.
Guess what, when I assumed I had completed the sketch the first time, I had missed the girl's right eye which is hiding under her ruffled hairs. All thanks to my friend, for identifing this at the first place and for a few of her valuable suggestions.

The soft caress innocent smile of the girl appealed me very much when my cousin sister recommended me to try and draw her. Everything about this picture, her smile, her hands, her hairs, her sweater, her skirt, the aluminium vessel with stains of carbon, the angle of the wooden lid, the position of the kettle was picture perfect!. After one and half month of lead going inside the sheet, here she is.

Hansika

The latest pencil work of mine. She is Hansika Motwani in Desamudrudu. For the first time I was trying on an A1 size sheet and for the first time it was from head to toe. Oh man, I was scratching my pencils on this desk from past three weeks every night trying to make it better and better. Yesterday I put some extra efforts and managed to finish it.

Those five lessons to learn from a humble pencil.
1. It tells you that everything you do will always leave a Mark.
2. You can always try and correct the mistake you make.
3. The important thing in life is what you are from inside and not from out side.
4. In life you will undergo painful sharpening which will make you better in whatever you do.
5. Finally, to be the best you can be, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.

The story of a Picture

Somewhere in the last month when it was a rainy weekend, I had plenty of time. I did not knew what to do then. I was thinking of doing something different which could keep me busy for both the days. At that time, I remembered an age old of picture of my friends from skool, which I had committed with them to potray, around hmmm.. three years ago. I had carried this picture all the way to Beijing with the intensions of sketching and those 5 months went in a flash. Even Priya & Venu had followed me to China in pursuit of this sketch and despite after Pri's many pop-up reminders I could only escape by asking for a few more months of time. I had the fears of doing the same thing even in my one and a half year (and still going strong) stay in U.S. But it was not the case when I got into form this time and could complete.

Pri, thanks for waiting for so long :)
I will hand over the original when I'm back home :)

The Charming Princess

I could do a very little justification for her ravishingly delightful looks. Drawing her sketch was one of my weekend work. For the first time, I have given more prominence in drawing her hairs and eyes. Her pictures used to reside in my chemistry and physics lab records long long ago. I searched for one of those missing pictures on the net, but in vain. The original picture of this sketch was the best one that came close to that rare old collection and here she is.
