Never completed!!

As I make my return to the blog and try and revamp it, I also turned up to doing arts and stuff and be in touch with the other side of my Life. And before starting something new, I wanted to clean up old mess. As I start working on nurturing my mind and Soul, and put up my thoughts, I also wanted to clean up my space at home and reorganize my artworks.

And while cleaning up, I came across some artworks that were never completed by me, either due to the errors or may be because I didn't complete them at one go. Yup, I have this weird tendency of not completing the work if not done at one go. Though multiple sittings and more time and patience lead to finesse in works, I usually prefer completing them at one go. May be I just don't have that patience or may be I lose interest in them soon!!!

Whatever it is, just wanted to share, and to say goodbye to those and welcome a new dawn in my Life with new colors and shades and a new, strong mind, body and Soul.

Lost

dreams

2b, 4b and pencil colors on a2 cartridge paper.

No matter how colorless Life may be, the dreams are always colorful. Colors take the flight and make a splash, touch the sky and paint it red.

Pleasure

2B and 4B on A3 cartridge paper. A sketch after long tym. But I am not really happy with the outcome though, as I feel am really not improving. I should raise the bar now, improve with sketches and paintings I make. Gotta seriously do something for this, and cudnt even get a suitable title for this one!!

Please suggest!!

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!!^__^

Oh so close

2b and 4b pencils on A3 cartridge paper, the love and closeness, the connect between the two really appealed to me, coz here the closeness is not just physical, the spiritual connect is so very evident!!^__^

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!!:))

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!!

Restriction

Implicit or Explicit we all have our own set of restrictions and limitations, whether the chain is made up of iron or gold, it binds u!!

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!!

My first soft charcoal work!!

This is the first time I tried something out of a soft charcoal stick. Its the quickest medium I've used, but control over it is a bit hard to achieve. It can give great effects to work, but detailing with it can be troublesome!!

And yes, not to forget, I made this picture because a friend wanted me to make a sketch of a baby as I hadn't done it before, so this dedicated to that friend!!
