Flutterby




A detailed painting i made of a butterfly.

Paintings




I remade my kathakali dancers on the saying of a teacher, and they came out really well.

Woodcut Print


I really enjoyed this medium as well, although, etching in wood is tiresome and tedious. It tends to get painful and a part of my middle finger is still numb because of it.  But the result made me happy. I made some more too, i will put up the pictures soon.



Still-Life Study


I have made these using Glass Marker Pencils on Normal Black Sheets. 
This medium brings out the glass effect beautifully.





Still-Life Study


These have been made using 2B, 4B, 8B and 10B shading pencils on Thick Cartridge with a mild texture.














Scluptures

These are the first sculptures i have ever made. They're all made in terracotta.
I've posted them in the order they were made in.



This is the sculpture i made. It's my grandfather's old shoe. I made it the same size as the shoe itself.



Two dented diet coke cans, again, the same size.



Figure-study. The size of this sculpture is about 11-12 inches (including the cube)



My hand.



It's been a while

I haven't posted in a long long time, mainly because a lot happened, i shifted from one city to another and started doing, for the first time, a proper course on art. So, yes, I am now doing my Bachelors in Visual Arts and it's quite  new to me. I am incredibly guilty these days, as i have not been sketching as much as i should. I only work on my college assignments and assessments. I have to start working on my own personal input and output now.

Apart from that, i have come to LOVE sculpting. I always thought that i was more of a painter or a sketcher but sculpting has really touched me and i am obsessed with terracotta. But because i am in the learning stages, i have to sketch a lot more, to perfect my hand to eye co-ordination and all my skills, post which i will start putting them to use in creating my own signature art work. That will happen in a while though.

Anyways... i will post more regularly now as i hope to create regularly too.
