Partners in Time..

Today Manu and I are celebrating 5 years of Time-travelling together... This day, that year, we took our vows of togetherness..

Happy Anniversary to you Sweetheart!!!

500 Faces - More faces

Well, I'll start with the Random celebrity caricature that I did last year, in Oct.. This one's of a bollywood actor.. Just to see if I make them well too.. I mean, how many people are actually going to identify the faces in my 500 Faces...?

And then, this one is my actual 500 faces caricature.. She is a friend of mine; wasn't sure if she wanted to be identified with the picture, so I am just going to leave this one nameless.. I know who she is, and that should be enough I guess...

Cheers!! :)

Goddess

This year, so far I have just been putting up my journal entries.. This is from my Jan01 page. I thought I'd wait till I fill in the paints.. but anyway uploading the penned one..

Fish Tank

One of my Platies is not feeling too well.. He had a swollen eye, which looked like it'll pop out.. We changed the water yesterday and today he looks better - has been travelling and eating better today. Hope he gets well by the next couple days...

Blind Contour Friday # 6, 7 and 8!!

Entry for this week

I hadn't been able to upload the Blind Contour drawings that I made the last couple of weeks... Once I was away from home, and the other time, I just missed out on posting it! So here is my combination BCF entries!

Last week

I tried drawing Tanush's soft toy dog, who hangs from the handle of one of our shelves...

Entry for Jan 7th

This is Manu again...

500 Faces - Keerthi

Caricature time!! Yeah, I didn't forget my 'mini' project!! I had a few pending uploads from my previous batch of caricatures.. Here's Keerthi...

Name: Keerthi
Know her from: Met her as Srinu's wife, and then we were friends.. She is more my friend than Srinu is Manu's...
Know her for: Well, very pleasant personality. Pretty and friendly. It is fun siding with Srinu against her - brings out the best in her.

Drawing Tanush

Tanush is the most difficult model I can get.. The only time I could draw him completely was when he was watching Go Diego Go.. And then too I had to imagine one foot, or sit elsewhere to get the same angle of the hand once more.. And he gave me 3 poses in that 25 mins of the show!!!

He kept coming to see what I have drawn, and even got his own pen, so that he could scribble on my sketchbook.. He wasn't happy with the paper he had lol...

Sau Mama and Mr. Potatohead

A lounge sketch... Tanush used to be scared of the Potatohead and so we had placed it near our Fish Tank... Now he is cool with him around too... Need to find a new scary toy to keep him off the fish..

Snow

Medicines...

Hah! Talk about getting inspired from the most mundane and uninteresting objects around you.. and the dullest of feelings.. :) This brightened my day when I drew and colored it.. 

A sick start to the new year

All these days I have only been able to draw in my journal. I have a commissioned assignment that I need to finish and give away, but haven't gotten around it till now.. Will start today I guess..

Meanwhile enjoy my journal entries!! 

A Page from my Journal

Just trying to make sure that I draw everyday - at least in my journal if I dont feel inspired to draw elsewhere... 

Tanush was excited that he could see his uncle after so long - on Skype..

Takata Office - Auburn Hills

31st December, on our way back from, Great Lakes Outlets I guess.. Yes, that was when we went to grab a coffee from Tim Hortens and then, since Tanush was already asleep, we decided to just park and drink our coffees... Manu sat and read his book, while I sketched this office that was in front of me... 

Camera

Drawn while lounging on my couch... Trying to make sense out of what Manu was talking on the phone with our friend... No, I wasn't evesdropping ;) LOL

Happy New YeaR :)

Wishing all of you visitors a very happy and prosperous new year.. 

I am starting the year with my final contributions to the Inception - Design the Comic Book Cover contest..

Yeah I drew the faces and then Manu helped photoshop it onto the different backgrounds (which also we made) and set things up.. My favourite ones are the first and the last one.. I should have drawn them in different poses, but I drew them straight for a different layout; which when we assembled together, didn't work out well.. So we made these other layouts. Due to lack of time, I used the straight posed pictures itself..

I have a small list of things I have to finish - that are actually backlogs of last year, but I'll keep coming back to that now and then... 

I hope everyone had a lovely start to their new year....
