You Know You're Right


After seeing Vidhu's drawing i took out my pencils, sharpened a bit and got to work.
The nose is troublesome, along with others. I appreciate Vidhu's effort more now.

Kurt Cobain..



Medium - Pencil sketch..
Just wanted to test the Photoshop on my cell..So tinted the color.. 

Kurt Cobain

148. Kurt Cobain: Curt Kurt

Kurt Cobain(February 20, 1967 – April 5, 1994)

This is really very sad,don't know y this celebrities die in mysterious circumstances.They gain money,name and fame but are not able to have peace of mind.He was lead singer of band Nirvana which means moksha but dint achieve it.very sad

nose gone wrong

Corrected a bit(above)...after prabha's sugg



I tried to do this in the morning first thing as i got up..hence got somewhere close i guess
al though i didnt read much about him..
used 4B,6B apsara pencil on Matrix sketch book

An urgent Sketch


Endless Nameless

An impressionism style does him more good than a caricature like above.
He may be out on many counts, but there is no denying how he could string many hearts.

Digambara!























dik eva ambaram yasya saha Digambaraha!

With a slight abuse of the topic 'Mahavira', I am posting Bahubali from our very own Shravanabelagola. My selfish ulterior motive in this being, trying my hand at the Greeko-Indian Gandhara Style of art. The upturned lips, the stylised hair, the big ears, and yea the ajanu bahu - all have always got my attention!
So here comes Bahubali for you all :)

144_Fool: To be a fool, Ah! =D


To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.


~ Shakespeare
