My Drawings...

When I went home for a short vacation this time, I could find one of my old drawing book. Huh, it was nice to see all those stuff and took me back down the memory lane. I thought that it will be better if I can digitize them so that they can be preserved for a longer time. These were done some 12-15 years ago and the drawing book already started loosing their texture. Well, some pictures which I thought are worth sharing in my blog.





When I was young, cartoons like Mickey mouse, Tom and Jerry etc were more popular and I think Mickey is one interesting but easy figure to draw. I remember sketching Mickey in different ways and colors. I like this one because it portrays a runner.



I think this one is from the fairy tale, "Puss in Boots". The gleeful face of the cat brings in some joy. I have used some oil paint and sketch pens in this drawing.






My favorite character, "CHARLIE CHAPLIN". May be looks a bit "EVIL" here, huh, didn't come out very well, but not bad I believe.



I have used some water color and sketch pens to do this one.



This one represent the traditional marriage ceremony in India. I found it in a wedding invitation and tried to replicate it. I used oil paint for this drawing. I remember drawing it again in a big canvas and it was decorating(???) our living room for some years.



Its a very simple pencil sketch. I like this one very much. Other than some mistakes, I has come out quite well.









I like the simplicity with pencil sketching. Just with few pencils in hand, we can bring in a lot of shades. I learnt a bit from my friend Narendran to use pencils and charcoals in different ways to draw.



Lord Ganesh. One other figure which I love drawing. Very much like Mickey, I have tried drawing him many times in many different ways. We can use his figure to draw very simple drawings to very complex ones that we can imagine. Also, brings in a lot of happiness. This one is a very simple outline sketch in pencil.

I had one other drawing book with few more interesting stuff. But, I could't find it. I should search for it when I go home next time. This is one hobby which I liked the most at some point of time in my life, but pretty much lost touch right now.

  2. haha...Thanx!!! Though, of all, I somehow like the baby pic I did... I looks quite simple and good...But all these were done many many years ago (all those pencil sketches were dated 1999 in my drawing book, the ones above are even more old, around 15 years)... Its long time I sat with a paper and pencil to really draw something...
