The Passion of Joy

Joy, one of my students, is a guitarist! This pic caught him with what he is passionate about - his guitar! I enjoyed rendering this sketch! I expressed Joy's passion (playing guitar) through my passion (sketching)!!! So I think the sketch is aptly titled.

The Kathakali Dancer



Kathakali meaning “story-play” is one of the ancient forms of dance-theater. Kathakali is also known as the King of performing arts. This is because it effectively combines the 5 major fine arts viz. literature (Sahityam), music (Sangeetham), Painting (Chitram), acting (Natyam) and dance (Nrithyam). All these 5 arts are indispensable in the performance of the art. 



Purity

This sketch is inspired by one of Linda Huber's sketches! She is a great source of inspiration for sketch artists. Her skills in creating photo realistic sketches is awesome. Here is the link to her amazing sketch that inspired me to render this work: http://midtel.net/~imaginee/drink_art.jpg! The purity of water!
Unto the pure all things are pure: Titus 1:15. 

Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains

A child looking through the window. This pic, taken by one of my students, is so beautiful that I immediately thought of sketching it. Though its not as beautiful as the photograph! But this gives us a reflection of the thought that the title (given by my friend Shashi Mohan) of this work suggests.

The Fatherhood

I came across this image in a newspaper on Daughter's Day. This photograph was very touching. I did an instant sketch and dedicated this to all my friends and their daughters. Though, this is not a too good work, but everyone liked the emotion behind it. :)

The Sad Child

Awww! The heart breaking cry! A cute child and the cute pic. But not such a cute sketch! But I am still learning! I am a Work-in-Progress! 

The Little Commander

Friend's son! This sketch didnt take much time and looked excellent to me! He is our little commander! He has chosen specific people for specific works! So, looks like he orders and we obey! Whenever he wants something he would point it like in the sketch! His signature style! :)

The Angry Wolf

Not a perfect one! The nose part remained shorter! Angry wolf (or whatever he looks like!) :)

Kabeer with Optimus Prime and Finn McMissile

Another sketch of my brother's son Kabir and his favourite toys Optimus Prime and Finn McMissile! 

The Prince Charming

My brother's son Kabir, my prince charming! Sketched from a rather blurred photograph! Thus the quality of the sketch! :)
