SketchBook 6 - A weekly safari
Screaming Apes and Punching Polar Bears
Ever wondered what happens when you mash up National Geographic with a fever dream? Wonder no more! Picture this: a woman screaming her lungs out, superimposed on an ape sketch. It's like King Kong met an opera singer, and things got weird. But wait, there's more! How about a polar bear throwing hands with an action figure? Climate change got so bad, even the bears are resorting to fisticuffs.
Metro Madness: Sketches from Delhi
Ah, the Delhi metro – where personal space goes to die, and inspiration comes alive. These sketches capture the essence of being sardined between a guy who thinks deodorant is optional and a aunty who's perfected the art of elbowing. It's a treasure trove of expressions, from "I'm pretending I don't see you" to "Is that my stop or just another fever dream?"
Books, TED Talks, and Tipsy Techniques
Inspired by a heady cocktail of literature and TED talks, I've ventured into new artistic territories. We're talking paintings and alcohol markers – because why should drinking be the only thing alcohol's good for? The result? A kaleidoscope of colors that would make a rainbow jealous.
The Great Eye Rebellion
In a shocking turn of events, my sketches have decided to stage a protest – against eyes! That's right, folks. Moglani's character kicked off this ocular revolution, and now we've got a whole series of eyeless wonders. Is it deep social commentary or just me forgetting to draw them? You decide!
The Early Bird Catches the... Nude?
Being an early riser has its perks, especially when your partners aren't. Cue the impromptu nude sketching sessions! It's like life drawing class, but with more bed hair and confused expressions. Don't worry, I kept it classy – mostly.
Digital Détournement: From Quill to Pixel
Remember those crow quill sketches? Well, they've gone digital, baby! I scanned them in and gave them a 21st-century makeover. It's like watching your grandpa discover Instagram filters – equally hilarious and slightly unsettling.
Goa: Where Time Stands Still (Literally)
Nothing says "vacation" like a 14-hour train delay, right? Silver lining: plenty of time to sketch the increasingly frustrated faces of fellow travelers. From "mildly annoyed" to "considering hitchhiking with a passing cow," I captured it all.
The Evolution of Recognizable Humans
And now, for the grand finale – people in my sketches actually look like people! It's been a long, strange trip from abstract blobs to identifiable humans. Next stop: photo-realism? (Just kidding, where's the fun in that?)
look how far I've come from the first blogpost.
So there you have it, folks – another chapter in the ongoing saga of my sketchbook adventures. From eyeless rebels to pugilistic polar bears, it's been a wild ride. Remember, in the world of art, there's no such thing as a mistake – just an opportunity for a really weird doodle.
Until next time, keep your pens inky, your imaginations wild, and your eyes peeled for inspiration (even if your sketches don't have any). Catch you on the flip side!
P.S. May cause spontaneous giggling and an irresistible urge to doodle on everything in sight.
