rockscapes



This bit features somewhere just outside of Bangalore... its called Savandurg and its one huge monolith of granite.
Its like a balancing act... you have some insane piling-up of forms and its briliant to sketch them. How best can you capture that?? Its huge, monotonous and difficult to get. I tried... what i've got here is more of a study in quick drawings..what kind of line defined this best? or maybe stroke? did capturing the light help define its shape?
"ask yourself as many questions as you can" i was told. And it helps.



i tried splitting it up into shapes and then adding the actual form...

Plantlife






some familiar... and some..

These are a set of works i had done for a course in drawing. Some of them are people i know and the others.. interesting people that caught my eye. I drew so many people that day... some familiar and some whom i had fun meeting... i love people.
