Lost

Haya

Aah...finally...made it today!! sketched after a looooong time!! and this time I wanted it to be free as a bird so just sketched relentlessly, without any grid, a beauty that is vibrant, yet humble. A quick sketch with charcoal pencil on A3 cartridge paper, took about 50 minutes. I am happy with the result, though I still wonder when will complete my works with finesse, I make them in such a hurry and in a care free way...but the feeling while I do that is just awesome.

The quality about this pic, that I loved, was that the lady, with beauty, is also so very humble and coy. Being suave, is the way to be, I feel.

(P.S. Thanks to the photographer to allow me to sketch this!!^__^

Untitled

A quick art once again. First time have done a surreal art....just this kinda image was comin to my mind... donno why but the rajput-mughal palace kinda domes and their artistic appeal have always been in my fascinations, and so this. Soft charcoal on A3 cartridge paper, around 20 mins.

Pls suggest a title frnz!!

Deep Dark Thoughts

Charcoal powder and eraser on A3 cartridge paper, around 15-20 mins.


Umm somehow u ppl must have noticed that many of my wrks have more of dark shades, and I have to admit that i love black color. Somethings mysteriously beautiful abt this color that attracts me to it. Darkness does not necessarily signify evil, I feel darkness holds a lot of hidden things into it, darkness itself is mysterious. Also, darkness can be associated with peace too, in a way( yeah it does, peace is not just property of Mr. white he he), coz if u notice, the dark places are usually quite and unperturbed but yet u can feel a lot of things happening behind the scenes, like this picture signifies, our deep dark world of thoughts our inner world, though it seems so quite, there are so many things goin on in there!! Who knows where do ur thoughts lead you. Its a really deep dark world filled with a plethora of mysteries within, and i would love to explore that!!

Peaceful Beauty!!:))

Charcoal pencil on A3 paper, and 90 mins to finish!! This time, no blocks or measurements, a complete freehand!!...have given it a title...but not so very happy with it, any suggestions??

{Excuse me for the bad quality of pics, will try to come up with somethin better..actually dont have an A3 scanner, and its dark now...so will try to take a pic tmrw morning, as i luv to tk pics in sunshine!!^__^)

Holding the Innocence

Innocence, hmm so one more soft charcoal and a second conceptual art!! It is Soft charcoal on A3 size cartridge paper, took around 70-75 mins.

The reason I liked this pic is coz immediately brought a thought, a feeling and a concept in my mind. It brought the emptiness in me, joy in me, happiness in me ans sadness in me, so in short, this pic makes me feel "haSpApDy" !!

The reason is, I really loved the lovely pic of holding a child in hand and the way it is presented. But on a second thought, it made me think, Wish we can hold Innocence!!

How wonderful it would be if we had a child-like innocence. Some people may feel how rubbish!! We have to grow with time!! an adult cant think or be like a child!! And then I thought surely, we have to mature with time, but does maturing mean losing ur innocence, Why do we have to start wearing masks and not be Innocent as adults!!
Why cant we retain that purity at heart when we turn adults?!!

How beautiful the world would be if we can hold that child like innocence??!! On a deeper thought, seeing the objective way, the world of adults is not much different than that of children, children fight for toys, adults for cars, property, actually, everything, children play games together, and adults too play games, but with each other and we can go on with such comparisons, but see the difference and u'll get my point. Adults dont have innocence in them , no way to forgive and forget, children may fight one second and play together the next minute, but fights of adults lead to wars!!!

when children try to imitate adults, they say, its not a child game!!

I say, when it comes to purity of heart,truth,love, forgiveness, Innocence, I wud say, "ITS NO ADULT GAME!!!"

Monochrome

Hmm..so finally, after many days, I did it, and that too, two times!! yup, talking abt sketches, what else;):D:P...gosh these dirty minds!! Hmm..so charcoal, charcoal and charcoal, wont leave it till I learn it! SO finally it seems I am getting some hold on it, using different techniques to adapt to this medium, and trying to understand when and how to use it. And have concluded that shud use soft charcoal, when not too much of detailing is required and also smudging with tissue papers instead of hands, like I have been doing till date, was really helpful!!...So hope in future can make some better works of Soft Charcoal!!

Alone!!

This is one more attempt on soft charcoal, and I think, am just trying to understand this medium!! How and when to use it, I'll learn with tym!!:)...neways...its fun and quick working with it so, hope I am able to learn to work on it!!
