Sketchbook pages - Spain-Portugal

23rd June 2014

 So I finally inaugurated my new blackbound volume II sketchbook. :) I'm so excited to see the pages filling up. I hope You enjoy these! First few pages with sketches of people and places in Spain and Portugal. Meanwhile, I am busy looking for stable exciting employment. :P!

 

Ram-dhara trip

A bunch of us (En, Kitu, Nishit, Anindiya, Pooja, Shekhar, Shaan, Saurabh and Chiru sir) went for a sketching trip at Raam-dhaara). These are some pages from the sketchbook.

Gaumuk, Mt. Abu

When we went to Gaumuk (a scenic point in Mt. Abu), it overlooks a lake and its on the top of a mountain. We had nothing much to do but sit, chat, and watch other tourists. So I took my sketchbook out and sketched this.
The day I drew them I wanted to paint them but I didn't have my materials there.. So I painted them digitally last night. Here's the outcome!



Frankly I'm pretty happy with it, but I wanna learn some more of those texture brushes everyone talks about! Enjoy.

Mt. Abu sketches

I had a wonderful time at Mt. Abu, at Tapan's place. It was really a well-lit diwali! We went to his school, to Nakki lake, Bikaner Palace, Trevor's Tank, Gurushikhar, Dilwara Jain Temple, Gaumuk and Shiv Temple. We went to the tibetan market and shopped on the last day! There was crowd everywhere, mostly Gujjus.

Luckily I got to sketch at some of the places we visited. Here is some of the stuff outta my sketchbook.






Here's a comic strip I came up with with Dwaj - Tapan's younger cousin in std. 8. He loves Osama - he's obsessed with drawing him. There were a lot of cows in Abu and we had just come back from Chitrakatha '11 - COWfest.. So I made the trip's theme - Osama VS. Cow! Here's the truth.



The last few drawings are for a shortfilm concept I'm working on about a girl who travels and visits her friends over the country and is made to eat by all the moms and aunties.
