SKETCHES
The irony, however, lies in the fact that it is society's behavior towards women that needs to be corrected!
Why have so many cases of female foeticide been neglected?
These and countless other questions deeply disturbed me.
To truly understand, you need to empathize—imagine yourself in the shoes of a woman, especially one from an underprivileged background. Replace your gender with that of a female in society, and only then will you begin to grasp the weight of these issues.
Empathy is all what we need to heal this world and to solve its problems!
Despite these troubling thoughts, I am always filled with gratitude towards God for what has been given to me—my life, my capabilities, and my ability to uphold what has been entrusted to me by the Supreme Power.
Painting in Watercolor on Paper
A Composition Using the Wash Technique
How Does It Work?
This painting method is called the flat water wash technique. To use this method, start with slightly cold-pressed paper (such as Canson sheets) with a light texture. Secure the paper by taping its edges to a board. After sketching your composition, use thick paint for the initial layer.
Once the painting is dry, rinse it gently under cold water to remove any excess paint. Use a round brush during this process to ensure smooth transitions. The result will be a soft, tinted color scheme, where you can further enhance the piece by adding layers of detail to create depth.
This technique offers a soothing effect, with the colors blending harmoniously across the composition. However, it requires careful planning to determine which areas should remain blank or be filled with solid color. This process encourages intentionality, as it involves iterative refinement until the desired outcome is achieved.
The Idea Behind This Composition:
In this composition, I imagined two young priests—one resting peacefully while the other practices his musical skills. This scene reminds me of the Indian proverb:
"करत-करत अभ्यास के जड़मति होत सुजान। रसरी आवत-जात के, सिल पर परत निशान।।"
Industrial Design Center, IDC, IIT Bombay
I had the most precious and unforgettable moments of my life at my design school, IDC, Bombay. Those were the days of relentless deadlines, where day and night dissolved into a singular focus—my project and the lively atmosphere of the classroom.
The vibrant activities at the Main Ground and my sneaky class bunks for sports events added a spark of adventure to those times.
I cherished my bicycle rides, feeling like a free bird gliding under the green, towering, shady trees. Cycling through the Infinity Corridor at night felt magical, especially when fate led to an unexpected encounter with a professor on the very day I decided to bunk. :P
Below is the digital sketch created by me for Students work website Home page for "ABHIKALP"This is the sketch of how the Design school in 2010.
One of my favorite works . I done this in my second year of college in cross hatching .It was the first work where I came to know I am patient as much as unstable. I remember one thing that I really find it very boring to work in drapery part but still manages to complete it with the same passion.
In college the Models used to sit and we have to take our positions around him so as to capture his expressions in which ever view we got.I still remember the students use to come as soon as possible to capture a nice seat with respect to the model other wise the whole day went in fighting for seats but was fun.I did this Portrait in second year. Most of the drawings in second year are in pencil, dry pastels,or oil pastels.
Below Sketches are some practice piece of art from a photo or digital image. I have done these after a long time and satisfactory of the result I put it out in the blog. I would like to create more of such pieces in future.
Sometimes, it becomes the sole reason behind creating art because each attempt teaches you something new. Through this, I learned patience, persistence, and self-belief—the belief that I could bring to life what I envisioned in my mind, turning it into a tangible creation before my eyes.
This exercise was all about pushing limits: not stopping until exhaustion set in, continuing to work relentlessly until every corner of the page was filled, and finally being able to say, "It’s done."
These color illustrations were created as part of a college assignment during my time in design school. I’ve kept them as a reminder of my transition from being an art student to becoming a design student. Moving myself away from poster/water colors to digital illustration was a significant shift for me. I loved the tactile experience of working with traditional colors and pencils, but digital illustrations introduced a completely different kind of finish.
The two mediums can't be directly compared; each has its own unique qualities and serves different purposes depending on the need. While I eventually embraced digital art professionally, both as a designer and an artist, the journey has been deeply enriching.
After being trained in design school I was feeling great as a Designer and an Artist both.
