Quick Illustration

A pencil rendering followed by another in ink with some water over it for effects. The sketch just happened as I started scribbling randomly for some artistic relief.. Some reflection of stuff I have been reading lately on feminism.

Pre-monsoon landscape

Straight from the drawing board... Kshitij, the garden behind Convo, IITB. Thanks to RANG for an awesome water painting workshop!

Coorg pics..

Landscape in watercolours

Landscape in watercolours, a medium that i like the most and also find the most  trickiest.

The idea is not entirely mine, have refered to another image to make this. Most difficult part was painting the tower,  using colours along the hard geometrical edges. One can see that the edges didnt come out very appealing, nonetheless i am quite happy with the final outcome. The vegetation at the bottom looks pretty. 

Snap !!

First few attempts at using my SLR.


Awesome twosome... These are a species of Marigold and the best close-up i could get given the windy day and the exhaustion that set in after a long trek, these are from a plantation of flowers somewhere (narayanpur) around pune where we went to trek up to the Purandar fort.

Awesome twosome.V2 These kids got pumped up seeing the cam and were happily pumping the water though their containers were already full.

Green goblins: The view from the top is always the best. Most exciting part of this trek was that as it was winters, there were pockets in the mountain which were degrees lowers than their surroundings in temperature, navigating through those was a relief.

I stand alone: This was a wiltering twig, a very small one growing besides a hard rock. Dry, weary but stubborn.

Bryopyllum: This is the bryophyllum plant at my home. Extra gyan: this plant reproduces through buds that grow on its leaf, pluck a leaf and bury it in your notebook and you will see roots sprouting though the edges of the leaf.

Water Colors :)

This one is original, result of a sprained ankle and water colors bought long back.

As usual tried to make something which would not take long. Bored by black and other dull shades tried something very warm here . Have adjusted the brightness and contrast a bit which resulted in the pixelated effect.

Finally !!

Finally... i sketched something after long... i prefer fast strokes and this was the best way to vent out (no puns!)
