January Gestures

Kickstarted the year by practicing Gesture drawing to loosen up before work! There has definitely been an improvement in pose and proportions, but I still need to work on my speed. Here are the best of the past 3 weeks. 

Sitting Nude Painting

18th July '14

Sketchbook pages update :P!

14th July 2014

So yeah as usual I am posting after a huge hiatus! I hope I'll be more regular! I've moved to a new city, with old friends, and fresh work! Bombay duuuude! ;)

Drifted to erotic art

27th March 2014

So has anyone seen Heroes? You guys remember Isaac Mendes, the artist in Season 1? Remember how he totally zones out while painting, n comes to consciousness only after it is complete?
That's pretty much what happened today. I was storyboarding a funny board, and suddenly started drawing the face of a hot lady. So I cut that drawing out and made it onto another document. And this is the result.

Let me know if you've had such drifting experience, and what you think about this in the comments below. :/

Day 31 - Proko Bean Torso

30 Nov 2013

Spent some 40 minutes practicing the bean after watching Stan Proko's lesson on simplifying the torso using the bean! It makes so much sense, and I really needed to get this right. My basics feel so weak right now! :'( But I'm getting a really good idea of how the torso twists, leans, turns and forshortens. Proko's videos are absolutely great!

Day 28 - Horse and Donkey Gestures

26th Oct 2012

I haven't practiced animal gestures as much as human. Atnovus (the firm I'm worked for) has assigned a story for me which is going to involve a LOT of animal drawing - not my biggest strength, but it's a lot of fun for me. So I tried practicing for the donkey character. Thought horse sketches might help too since they have more movement.
