Taylor Swift ??

Attempted a sketch of Taylor Swift and this is how it ended up..She is a great singer and she definitely deserves to look better on this sketch :) I need to work a lot on portraits..especially of women..For a greater part of my childhood i thought drawing women is a sin :) 

TetraArm

Inspired by some concept art blogs i visited lately, I've tried a concept sketch..This is TetraArm...A Cyborg wielding a pair of robotic arms and a pair of electric lashes.. He is a mean man-machine organism, insensitive to pain and fatigue.. 

Out of fuel !!

What happens when an aeroplane runs out of fuel :) This is an image compositing work done using photoshop..This idea struck me when i was going through a news on fuel shortage..It's a crazy idea :) But it was fun imagining a heavy metal bird floating on the clouds, having run out of fuel..Placed the birds in the foreground mocking the aeroplane.. 

My fair lady

A random selection from my sketchbook.. My fair lady !  

Charminar sketch

Colored by smudging the sketch below using water and by giving a wash with brown paint..

Used black microtip pen and pencil to create the sketch..Used pencil to sketch the Charminar to create a sense of atmosphere and depth..I guess i should have varied the thickness of the lines from the foreground to the background.. Used a photo i had taken earlier as the reference..

Golconda fort

I had a visit to the magnificent fort of Golconda during last month..It was constructed during the 13th century..The fortress is made up of granite..It was built by the Kakatiya kings and later taken over by the Qutb Shahi kingdom.. Now don't think i'm so good at history.. All thanks to Wikipedia :)

Stairway to heaven.. Model: Shiva

Let me cross

Crossing roads has become a nightmare these days..I consider crossing Hyderabadi roads a feat ! I get intimidated by the vehicles every time i  cross the road..Few days back i was running from one side of the road to another trying to cross..I felt like i was in the midst of  a maelstrom of vehicles..

Hot Samosas

A delight to watch 

Charming Charminar

I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a camel during my visit to the bangle market near the Charminar
