Scribbles on a Christmas day!

2008-12-25T03:49:00.000-08:00

Back to some more Silhouette sketching, worked this one with the traditional mouse .

Blockhead

2008-12-22T06:22:00.000-08:00

This time i experimented with using some texture sheets to blend and create a composition..(For the floor base,sky and the architecture.) The theme is built upon as i progressed. First i roughly Chalked out the stone head sculpture followed by the girl. After trying some backgrounds i finally decended on this one. Three days ( spending Avrg.3-4 hours in each sitting)

scribble

2008-12-12T06:38:00.000-08:00

..Couple of hours to kill, sitting in a Café, and i thought lets get back to some sketching. Went down to the nearest stationary and baught the bare essentials to scribble. ...these are from the lot.

Lone Runner

2008-12-04T08:23:00.000-08:00

started this one as a block silhouette brush strokes. (once again on a tip-off ..)

And guess what, its a nice method to work from a silhouette. took just over an hour to finish this one. work work and more work is the mantra for me now.

I was going thru some of the works posted on CG talk's daily sketch forum, good stuff.....are really helpful and fun exercise.

Night

2008-11-28T23:42:00.000-08:00

Continuing from where i left, i wanted to do some quick night time studies.

A little more elaborate setting will be more intresting i guess.

Dusk on rock face

2008-11-28T08:13:00.000-08:00

Reminds me of Chopta(from where you can see a breathtaking view of the Himalayan ranges).
close to 3 hours.. finished in two sittings.

My Friend Anil was on my mind while working out this character.

Intially when i started out I kept the hands folded, then i decided it'll create a better feel if i show some gesture. Like the one its having now.(signaling his huge trailing entourage of marching soldiers to stop.)

Quick sketches are always fun.

Oblivion

Girl on the edge….. Partly inspired by my friend’s recent Photoshop work on a similar theme
(He did a pretty neat job). The color of her robe defines the mood here.

I enjoy doing forms in streched, arched, floating etc. positions..

Thin male torso always reminds me of Egon Schiele.

My notepad doodle…. Fillers during the office meeting.
Not that the meeting was a drone. A confrontation broke out between two of the smartest blokes around and I was inspired (read pushed) to put across my interpretation of the incident.

This one I did after Bryan Adams visit to bangalore, The character shown here is though based on another fav band of mine..... REM! Just wanted to Capture the mood at the concert.

Life Study - WaterColor

2008-06-22T01:03:00.000-07:00

Color study... Another good model to work with. watercolor is an intresting medium, needs lots of practice (which im short on) to get the control and keep youe hues fresh.

Days of my life

2008-06-19T10:20:00.001-07:00

I have done this during my final year assignment at college. Acrylic on paper was turning into my favorite medium. Somehow my friend Xavier’s one room apartment stuck with me as my pet subject. I did a lot of sketches especially the sleeping character on bed before I finalized this layout. My friend Suresh (one of the best 3D modeler I know personally) was all over my tacky room perspective.

Envy - Acrylic on Canvas

2008-06-19T09:58:00.000-07:00

Here’s another acrylic, this time on canvas. A tribute to my all time favorite artist Michelangelo the great! Always curious to know Sandy’s comments on this one.

The Chosen One - Acrylic on Paper

2008-06-18T08:39:00.000-07:00

One more work on paper ! This time i decided to experiment on a larger scale. A little bit of Mix media... to complete the collage of figures in the background i had to sacrifice a lot of sports magzines from my collection. My friends Jaison,Harsha,Xav and Sumanth helped me to cut and stick them up, and guess what i just managed to finish up on time before our submission .

Just to give an idea of the size...

The athlete on top was a result of my Photoshop exercise. Sketched and finished in a days time.
The kid with the soccer ball tucked under his arm was one among the variations for the mascot sort of character we (me and my amazing Programmer friend Ranjit) were trying out for this Concept game. The game is still under process.
The character on skateboard was a theme poster for one of the apparel outlets Campaign.
Sketched, scanned and did the finishing in Flash and Photoshop.

Some more on the Soccer game stills.

This composition with the school bus is part of my daily work at the office. At the beginning of every E learning module we are required to insert a title scene.It’s a fun process as we do it after finishing the work for the entire module. Always fun to do graphics for toddlers!

Flashy' Color works

Head Study. pencil on paper.

Close up of an ol' lady's hand study. Should have worked out some more angles..

Forgot to take my colors on that particular day, Hence ended up finishing this antomy study with my Ball point pen. Had fun while working out as the feel is bit different than a pencil or art brush.
After finishing did some touch ups with a wet paint brush.

Some of the roughs I did for one of the school projects at my workplace.
