Inanimate objects

These are some of the articles that I was around that I tried to sketch. The shading was learnt through some of the e-training sessions on using the pencils for creating an effect of light and dark shades.
















I am sure the first three items are clear enough. But I am always asked what the last sketch is all about! Well, it is actually a grinding tool with a vessel in the bottom used to grind spices so that it is collected below.

A sad guy!

I was seeing "Friends" the other day (actually i see them everyday) and I started sketching this fellow...And this was how he turned out to be though I was having a blast seeing the sitcom's episodes! I am sorry if this isn't what u expected to see....

Pets and Sketches

Hey everybody!

Its been long since I posted. Here's my sketch on animals. I kind of learnt to do it by following the instructions on the sketch book I purchased at Micheal's. Though the steps really didn't help me, but I could somehow manage to get the look of an  "animal like thing" at the end of it all! 

My mom told me that this rabbit is kind of "plump and aggresive looking" !! I thought so too after it was told to me. I don't know, maybe I was in a bit aggressive mood about getting plump myself that day. It just got reflected in the sketch!

This one below is a little hazy sketch of a cat. Yes, that's right--a cat! I think I again drew a wild one!!! Wonder what's up with me...

Nature -- my favorite

Hi all!

This ones is after the request of my Dear Spouse who asked me to blog more of my leaves, flowers and nature related stuff. So here they are. Now please remember, these are casual and done by an amateur, but nevertheless serious in intention.

Talking of being serious, My Master always says that "Anything worth doing must be done  well". Hence I have enrolled for an art class here in my Arts Center. I shall have classes for about 2 weeks in canvas and acrylic painting! I am soooo excited about it! 

As of now, here are my latest sketches on nature...

 

The two above ones are the same. They are taken in different light settings to give a feeling of dark and light shades!

These are leaves fallen from my patio garden! I didnt want to waste them. So I collected them and they were all of different sizes and shapes. Hence I just used their natural shape to create the sketch. Please bear in mind that they were NOT TRACED. Very important for any student, is to be honest with whatever available material provided!!

This is a beautiful sun-flower sketch taught in a book for "Sketching for Beginners". I really liked this one. Though this is a very humble copy of the original sketch, I still take great pride in this one!
